Notes -
If you do, how do you archive and process interesting ideas or information you find?
Like all of us I imagine, I consume huge amounts of information: Articles, books, twitter hot takes, charts, youtube videos, podcast episodes, etc. I tend to hoard the best of what I see and stash it all over the place. I have old word documents where I’ve saved good quotes, I use OneNote to store links to good articles (or comments), I have a huge archive of bookmarks on X. I do occasionally revisit what I’ve saved, but it is a haphazard skimming at best. I haven’t found the way to organize this 'best of' thinking. I'm considering some sort of organization by theme and writing key takeaways for myself to later review to aid my recall.
Does anyone else have this problem?
It might not be a solution if you're not willing to host web accessible services, but I run an instance of wallabag for myself. I then have a bookmarklet to send any page I wanna keep to it. It archives pages in a way to focus on readability. It's also good for bypassing some paywalls (not all). Once in while I organize the pages I've saved to it by adding tags to them. You can also add annotations to the pages saved.
