How do you organize yourself?

[cTpa]

So,

as I already mentioned I'm following this forum the last few years and I have noticed how fast many of you can recall old studies/articles/videos/etc. in fast-reply thread about topic X. I hope my question is not too much of a chitchat but - how do you organize your "digital brain"?

I have a online-text file with all of my interests with all of the links/data and I organize myself with many tags --> with CTRL+F I'm recalling everything.

Best regards

cTpa,

The advantage of posting prolifically on these forums (rather than lurking :-)), is that you can use the forum's search facilities to quickly find studies or topics you or others have discussed before.  If you remember who posted about a particular study you can narrow the search by putting their name in the "search by author" field. That's how I'm able to quickly respond with relevant references.

Hi Dean,

so does this mean you don't have any "filing" system for yourself and your (as an example) health links/articles/studies on your own? 

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

No. I use Evernote for journaling and jotting down ideas, but I don't keep any archive for health-related research. If I did I'd use Evernote. Although I'm not thrilled with Evernote, I haven't seen anything better.
