I'm dealing with the same issue actively. My latest attempt involves the article https://zettelkasten.de/posts/knowledge-cycle-efficiently-organize-writing-projects/ https://zettelkasten.de/posts/knowledge-cycle-efficiently-or...
I have a gazillion tabs open, and I try to work through my tabs once a day to see what I can delete without losing information I want to keep and what I think is valuable enough to add to my notes in some way.
I'll look for a note that already covers the idea and add the URL and a quick summary. If a note doesn't exist, I'll add the core idea that interested me about it as a new note with the idea(s) summarized in my own words (maybe 1-3 sentences), then a reference in that note to the URL. I also try to summarize the link from memory instead of reading through it again. I'll only check the link's contents if I'm having trouble writing anything. If I'm feeling particularly productive, I might add any quotes or particular passages I remember as well (paraphrased, of course, I don't have an eidetic memory).
I've made a huge dent in my open tabs so far and I'm fairly happy with my progress in the past week.
edit: I briefly saw another comment about using OneTab (sorry, I haven't had the time to read any of the other comments yet) and my current attempt is partly based on how unhappy I am with OneTab. The addon itself is brilliant, but I've realized that I'll just save all the open tabs and then ... well, that's it. They're basically bookmarks again and it's like an information blackhole for me.
edit2: I'm currently using Obsidian.md. Not bothering with directories at the moment, because I haven't yet decided how to organize my notes.
- ranger47 4y agoObsidian is great. I tend to use it for TTRPG stuff since it's prettt portable. For actual notes, or detailed lists, I like Featherwiki. https://feather.wiki/ https://feather.wiki/
- justin_oaks 4y agoThanks for linking Featherwiki. I've used Tiddlywiki, and it's good to see other entries in this space (wikis as a single HTML file). Featherwiki's 55KB size is quite small compared to Tiddlywiki's 2MB. That said, the size difference alone may not be sufficient reason to switch away from Tiddlywiki.
- fluential 4y agoFor deep linking knowledge and notes I love to use Remnote (found here on HN)
