Sounds like what I have been doing with Evernote. I described the system in a previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10301205 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10301205 What you say about review resonates with me. Several years ago I got excited about Spaced repetition software (like Anki, discussed recently on HN) and tried writing an Evernote app that would periodically show me interesting things. Their API didn't work very well for this, so I stuck to doing this manually, and it's some of my most creative and intellectually productive time. I am contemplating moving to Emacs org-mode for future things, with some sort of conversion process for the accumulated things. That should make a more intelligent system possible.
