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 am currently leveraging scammers, doxxers and all sorts of scumbags to do that for me, for free. Better than AI.

I advised them to avoid it because it would be shameful for them to be used like a marionettes, but I guess if they stopped it would be even more shameful. There's something about their pride of being covert that makes it easy to use for this.

Sometimes it stores stuff that I don't care about, but that's fine.

I also do handwritten notes sometimes.

Sorry not sure I really understood your approach.

They use scam accounts and tactics to annoy me, I steadily shape their expectations to relay things that will work as reminders and all sorts of distributed storage.

Initially I didn't want to do it, but it's so reliable and predictable, that it became useful for that. I can't explain the exact mechanism either.

I still don't understand what you mean here. Do you have an example?

I don't have any example to share.

I also have problems storing some things. Like I wanted to store information about Tourettes and coprolalia, but it doesn't stick to my herd of scammers (maybe some of them have it and they're embarrassed?). That's the best example I can give (a non working example, but that's fine, no storage medium is perfect).
