I use emotional memory. Examples: Was it to do with climate change? Check the emails to my sister. Was it some geeky thing? Check the emails to my brother. Was it to do with teaching? Check the hyperlinks list that I created in MS Word (Outline view). Was it ego-boosting? Check my HN comments. Was it to do with other interests, such as shares, bridge, Twitch, solar, …? Check my Chrome folders. Was it political, e.g. Trump? Check my MS Edge browser bookmarks. Was it software related? Check my Facebook "Saved" list. Was it biology-themed? Check my Facebook posts. Is it a link needed daily? Make it a shortcut on my Edge/Chrome start-up page. This gives a number of categories that are easily remembered, because of the emotional connections, and can be readily searched. Lastly, I mostly use Chrome, because if I don't explicitly save a recent interest, I can quickly find it with Chrome's History (Ctrl-H).
