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?

If it’s a link I find interesting, I take an excerpt of it and the link and post it on my personal blog. It’s not really even for public consumption as it is for both a public link blog for myself and where I post longer “thought pieces” that may later get copied to LinkedIn after I edit them a few times.

If I find an interesting link on HN, I’ll favorite it and post the link to the article and the HN discussion.

You have every right to throw up a little bit about the performative nature of LinkedIn. But in my niche, it’s the nature of the beast.

I do keep a copy of my career document where I note any major accomplishments and the details in STAR format for future projects, review times, 1x1’s and interviews in now a private Notion page.
