my methods have been:

use trilium for any detailed notes and documentation

memos for random thoughts especially if shorter

pen and paper when offline or on mobile because mobile trilium and moememos both suck

zotero for citation and bibliography manager

backed up to nextcloud

i have paperless-ngx but found it randomly errors a ton of things and zotero is fine.

considering if it’s worth it to have so many different spread out methods

theyre fun to use but it creates more chaos then needed

I used to have one single giant org-mode file. At some point, for technical reasons I had not access to it. So I created a file for the current week. This ends up ensier to mentally handle. Sd I'm sticking to it.
During meetings, I take paper notes and extract most important of it to my curreot week org file.
All these files are synced with syncthing.

That’s smart! How do you format that file? Dates and day headers? What about org-mode works for you? Haven’t used that
