Title: This is a general question, but I didn&#x27;t want to ask specific one because I&#x27;m still trying to understand the bigger picture.<p>We &quot;collect&quot; data all the time, and sometimes it helps us learn something. On one hand we have things that were created by others: funny images, movies, articles on the web, books. On the other we have things creted by us: personal insights, thoughts, snippets of code. How do you manage&#x2F;organize all of this? Do you have apps&#x2F;tools for organizing specific type of information and if so, why this particular one? Do you have ideas how to organize&#x2F;manage this efficiently?<p>But we&#x27;re not only collecting information [0], we also learn from it. Most people store all this knowledge in their heads for their whole life, but I think it&#x27;s not efficient (memory loss, can&#x27;t search, not always reliable etc.), some people create some kind of personal knowledge bases (e.g. personal dokuwiki&#x2F;mediawiki on localhost). How do you manage&#x2F;organize things you learn?<p>It may seem that I should create 2 different topics, but for me both concepts are connected[1]. What I&#x27;m trying to find is an efficient solution to managing (almost) all the information that enters (and already is in) my life. I don&#x27;t think that there exist a good app for that, I know that there are some that solve parts of this problem (evernote, wikis etc.), but I&#x27;m more interested in your ideas on the whole topic, how to approach this problem, where to look, how to think about this etc.<p>I&#x27;m curious about your solutions, ideas and &quot;setups&quot; for this problem(s). If you have any resources (books, research papers etc.) about the topic, I&#x27;d love to learn from them. Thank you for your time.<p>[0] as in bits on the disk, learning can be viewed as collecting new information, I guess<p>[1] I liked quote from a book, some code from LLVM gave me an insight into a compiler design etc.
