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

I’ve been using obsidian for this for the past couple of years. I have lots of folders and notes for work projects along with notes for learning topics. I keep track of tasks and to do lists for me and people in my team (using #people/name tags).

I have specific updates notes for each project. I add a weekly header (via a template) in reverse chronological order. Pull the key updates into that (I also have a todo for each project that pulls in tasks from all files in that project subfolder - so picks up meeting actions)

I also put them all in a canvas so when I doing updates about projects they’re all in one place.

I do the same for people I manage so I can keep track of updates and todos when I’m meeting with them.

My go to start point is a daily not where I throw in new tasks (tagged to projects or people) and those get pulled into the corresponding project/person file.

Because it’s markdown with lots of plugins it helps me do things like diagrams (mermaid diagrams) etc and excalidraw/canvas for architecting/mind map style ideation.
