I have a single God ReadMe file in which I try to record all the facts that I should know and 'recipes' that I might need to follow again. Such as that shutting down windows does not dispose of kernel state whereas restart does. Or how to do a certain task on the income tax site or how to set up an odbc datasource in Windows. I've been keeping this file for years and I periodically read through it as much to remind myself of what's in it as anything else. It's saved me a lot of frustration when finding myself having to do things again that I know it took me ages to figure out the previous time but I have since forgotten.
