I subscribe to the one text file way of thinking. Well, mostly one text file. Some giant parts (phone/address book, usernames/password hints) got sharded off into their own text file. Reasons for a simple text file: Text works well with unix CLI tools (grep, etc). Text can be read and editted on every computer out there. I own my data - ain't stuck in someone else's server or hidden in a big binary blob. The format is flexible, so it works with everything I throw at it. Everything else is in the one text file. Ideas, books I wanna read, reminders, todo lists... everything. It's sort of a mess, but I can usually search straight to what I need. If I can't find it straight away, I sprinkle in keywords when I get there... Before I was doing things this way, I using emails and IMs and post it notes and a notebook and... I could never find anything.
