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?

I don’t. If it’s a truly groundbreaking knowledge, I’ll remember. But most of what I learn comes from books, technical documentation and the like, so there’s no need to store my understanding of such sources (I do keep a copy of such sources in my disk, though)
