Inspired by the work of the famous psychologist Endel Tulving (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endel_Tulving https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endel_Tulving), I have come up with a simple technique that works for me. I simply keep two text files called "Episodic" and "Semantic" in Dropbox corresponding to the two major forms of human memory. Episodic memory is associated with specific episodes while Semantic memory is simply facts that we have accumulated throughout our lives (not associated with specific incidents). I use episodic memory to record various events in my life and periodically move information from there to the semantic memory. This sounds low-tech (and it is) but it works well for me. I'm sure more sophisticated tools could be created around this concept.
