I use my faulty meat computer to remember the gyst of things, alongside keeping too many tabs open on both my phone and desktop and favoriting website links and comments and posts here on hexbear.

As you can infer quite quickly those are very not good and very unreliable ways of saving information. A misclick can wipe out all your tabs and internet history in an instant. Internet pages can go dead. Hexbear accounts that post amazing information decide to delete their accounts and take all the data with them to their digital graves, etc. Honestly I think I’ve forgotten and lost more info than I can even remember. Also I think my workplace is like legit degrading my mental capacities and I’m slowly going senile. No I am not old

So I’m trying to do what you do and keep info on a text file that I keep on my desk top with back ups in my email, in the gooble cloud stuff, and on an exterior hard drive. I’m still bad at keeping them organized and up to date though.
