Move your notes into a note taking app, like Obsidian, or Logseq. It's a lot easier to expand on any ideas or just reflect on them.

You also get a node graph which is fun to look at.

why do i relate to like every adhd meme?

This is great. I'm saving this.

F u four calling me out like that but also thank you for validating my feelings.

I leave a bunch of of tabs on my phone web browser until i can't take anymore (around 15/20 tabs) then i organize everything with bookmarks so i can, maybe, some day, who knows, if i feel like it and the planets align, i might take a look on them, just maybe

Can't count the number of ideas I've lost simply because I can't remember to jot it down when it hits

This is part of why I self-host things. I have a lot of projects and project ideas, and Trello - while great for what it is - is slowly becoming enshittified, so I run a Planka instance instead. I also have a Nextcloud instance, Immich for photos, and a bunch of other things that help me stay organized. It took me a decade to figure out how to organize my homelab services and hardware, but now I have it set so all I need to do is check github/gitlab for updates and breaking changes for any particular service, log into any of my Dockge instances (all 4 of them are linked), and click the "update" button in the relevant stack. Yes, I know there are automations for that, too. One thing at a time.

Updated a browser and lost ten years of plans and designs

I do create screenshots and screen cuts using PickPick and auto-save turned on - it is better than any AI bases self-survivalence tool

I always screenshot a million things on my phone and then purge them all at once one day without even looking.

I'm kinda weird in that I'm very text-oriented rather than visual-oriented, and this even results in a preference for keyboard over mouse, if I can't hotkey a thing by god I will go get a tool that will let me hotkey it, etc. As such, I type everything up in a notes app that syncs between my phone and PC. Also, while I do sometimes bookmark things, I often forget that I have so most things I find again just by remembering what I searched for last time when I find it.

I just screenshotted this.

every dang bumper sticker ever. I feel like if people see me they'll just be happy it's appreciated

what's worse is when it's a store you wanna check out but don't want the advertisement to get credit, and when you finally DO remember to check it out, the store is gone cause it was a scam all along

I have many notebooks. They range from pocket sized to 8" x 5" when they're for ideas. I'll occasionally use larger ones for other things, but I want to take down my thoughts quickly, and I really only want the essence of them, so I write in references to other things, images, and a short phrase to title it for context

The nice thing is I've got almost 2 decades of notebooks like this - they're scattered all through my things, basically by era.

And because of that, I don't need to fill or organize notebooks - every few years I'll see one I like and make it the idea book

I've gone through like 10x as many for work, but I just throw those away when they're full

Why are you like this?!
Sop assaulting my personality.

You have to remember the thing you wanted to remember and where you put it only to find it six months after the point it was useful anymore but don’t delete it because it might be important again even though the odds of you remembering it and where it is should it be useful are near zero.

Wait before you hear of OCD :D
