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?

Consolidate? All in a single place? Information comes from a lot of sources, in a lot of ways to be accessed, and a lot of ways to be shared and with who.

A lot are notes or links collections in obsidian. Others may be canvas on slack channels or conversations, some cloud note taking apps depending on with who I am sharing or collaborating on them, bookmarks in browser or RSS reader, even chats with ChatGTP.

In general it depends on where I got that piece of information or knowledge, what I plan to do with it, who I want to share it with and so on. There is no central consolidation process for all the diverse kinds of information, as there are "right" places to have them depending on it.
