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

Comments

I use Evernote. Because it can handle multiple types of content. The most useful information I keep in there are tutorials. Mostly written by me. How to do things that I only have to do a few times a year. Basically recipes for anything, not just food. The stuff I do repeatedly I just remember or automate.

Passwords are a good example of this. I can deduce them(based on a formula), but I don't want to do that every day, so I use 1Password.

But it's not bad to just forget. There are quotes, links, funny pics in my Evernote that I've never used. So I'm now much more selective in my note taking. It's less stressful.
