Ask HN: How do you store the knowledge gained in a day?

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?

This is why I write stuff in reMarkable.

At some point, I have to type it in so that I can share with others. This transfers short term memory into long term.

I know there are a billion notes systems that have heaps of features. Nothing beats writing for me.

I wish I had something like this earlier in my career. I've forgotten so much useful info that only comes back when the right external triggers are fired. It's annoying.
