Comment on Ask HN: How do you manage/organize information and knowledge in your life?

Comments

All appontments meetings personal and work - in a single Outlook calendar. All work related notes in a single OneNote workbook (text searchable) All code files/projects - on Onedrive in cloned repos from Github, so I can include them locally and commit to GitHub as needed. Lastpass for passwords and credit card info.

One unique thing I started doing, I use this program called ClipX which lets you have a popup of your recent clipboard entries. Its will let you save to a text file. So, everything I clip, code snips, passwords, etc.. goes into a single text file - so I can just Ctrl-C something and forget about it. Six months later I just do a text search in this file. Its gets big (10MB or so) and I back that file up and start with a new file every year.
