unfortunately computers are not our friends  almost every website offers the ability to save things and each one uses its own system  browsers have bookmarks  facebook has saved posts  youtube has watch later  reddit has saved posts  not too mention all the ways we come up with trying to organize and save things on our own note taking apps excel spreadsheets notepad files screenshots etc  my most recent system discord i created a discord server with a channel called brain-dump its intention was that any time i get distracted from something i copy it all to discord as a message and send it links notes etc this way i dont feel like i did all this research about some random thing and then threw it all away  ive been using it for months ive dumped to it probably over a hundred times at this point ive never once gone back to it
