Each day I (and I assume most knowledge workers, devs, creatives) read many articles, papers, code snippets, AI responses, discord messages etc.

At the end of the day some of this information is most likely lodged in your brain and the digital version can be discarded. However some of it should be retained manually in some system - or at least I feel it should.

What approaches do people use to consolidate and store this information to allow all tabs etc to be closed for the next work day?

I use browser bookmarks organized into folders like /dev/blog /dev/tools etc. so that I can browse by category later when I think “what was that tool again?” A flat list of bookmarks drives me insane, all I want to do is delete it.

I tried Obsidian for a while but I’m too prone to bike shedding with it, so I gave up. I DM myself in Slack with bits of info to keep around for the near term, because it’s already a simple feed ordered by time.

I know the feeling of the bike shedding with the tools!

This is cool for links, but often I also want some nuggets/ideas to be saved.
