1. A method comprising: retrieving a polymorphic note associated with a device, a user of the device, or a combination thereof, wherein the polymorphic note upon receipt is associated with no specific triggering criteria; determining a subject associated with the polymorphic note and one or more triggering items; retrieving contextual information from the device; adding social tools to the polymorphic note, whereby the polymorphic note historically separates objects; matching the contextual information that relates to the subject to further define the subject; and generating a reminder of the polymorphic note based, at least in part, on the contextual information and the one or more triggering items wherein a plurality of polymorphic notes are organized into electronic notebooks, and wherein the polymorphic notes are linked in an explicit relationship to facilitate navigation between them.
