I once read a tweet that said "the most effective people I know just work on the most important thing, and they get way more done than the people I know who obsessively manage their time". Oddly enough, when I thought about it, I realized I could pretty easily think of the most important thing at any given time. I like to stay organized. For random thoughts, brainstorms, arbitrary URLs or bits of information, I use Google Keep and eventually migrate them into OneNote for more permanence. For files, I use an Unsorted folder in OneDrive, and then eventually migrate them into my structured OneDrive for permanence. Organizing and migrating all this built-up information becomes a leisurely meditation on category theory. It's a great way to procrastinate productively. When I actually want to be productive, I entirely ignore my information ecosystem, ask myself "what important thing am I avoiding?" and then work on that.
