I use emacs with org-mode. I have a file where I keep project ideas organized by category(webdev, ML, writing, etc). And I have a file where I keep my daily notes(I write down most of my thoughts, it helps me to focus). In that file, I use tags like: - #pst and #vid for blog posts and video ideas - #prj and #sup for project and startup ideas - #ftr (or #bug) for feature ideas for my projects - #link for useful links - #jok for great jokes I've encountered or came up with. That way I can always search through this file and easily find information I wrote down years ago. I also put symbols >> and >>>> at the beginning of the most important ideas, so that I can easily search and find the most important epiphanies I've had this month/year. Also, I highly recommend an app called Editorial for iOS. I use it constantly, it's incredibly powerful, and has amazing automation features. I can create shortcuts to auto-insert current date, some tags, etc. I can search through all of the dropbox files, and I can write python scripts to automate any text manipulation. It's amazing.
