For web links I just don't store them anywhere. If I want to go back to something, I either google for it again or possibly search my browser history.
For random thoughts I have a flat text file (4MB currently) to which I just append. I rarely read my past stuff though, but sometimes it's valuable to grep for something I need to recall. There's also something liberating about clearing up your mind by writing stuff that's on your mind down somewhere, freeing up headspace for other things.
For project-related things, and taking notes of book quotes, new words I've encountered etc. I use the app Things. But here again I'm very poor at actually following up on the things I add to it. For some stuff I've added reminders since it has such a feature, but I'm usually just annoyed with my past self for reminding me of something when there's always something more important occupying my time that comes up later.
- rntksi 7y agoSame here. The use of the note files is for me to grep back at it after a while and I remember something useful but cannot quite recall. Are you bemmu that runs candyjapan by the way? Love it. Used to get boxes from you. Was always fun to guess what would come next. I see lots of other places doing the same business model now, but I still think you're the best.
- bemmu 7y agoThank you for the nice comment. Means a lot to me since I just had to pause it because of the coronavirus, hope to restart again after a while.
