How do you store accumulated knowledge?

Question

IT education

We all read all sorts of articles, how-to, watch training videos, etc. It is clear that it is impossible to remember everything and keep it constantly in memory.
Not long ago (a month or two ago) I read an excellent article about how strings are arranged in java. Most of it has already been forgotten.
The same applies to books, I read a book and see a good piece, I understand that this piece will come in handy in work or when preparing for an interview.
Question: what service do you use to store such information? How do you solve the problem of accumulating and storing this kind of information?
I visited Evernote / Pocket but with a large amount of material 200-300 documents, they are not particularly usable.

Answer 1

I store everything in thematic folders on Google Drive along with books. For articles I create .txt and title them accordingly. A couple of times a month I do a major cleanup of unnecessary files, so for now everything is fine. Recently, I use Evernote only as a diary - to summarize and strengthen self-discipline. Pocket is a dump, I didn’t like it right away.
As for books: when I read, I make short notes at the same time (I write down only the most important points), save them in .pdf and put them in the folder with the book. At the same time, I call the document the name of the book, and in brackets I write "summary", so if there are a lot of books in the folder, it will keep them together. When I turn to the book I read again, I look at the summary - and, as a rule, I immediately find the answer to my question. I type the abstract manually on the keyboard. This, although it takes time, but at the same time has a positive effect on the efficiency of assimilation of the material. Well, at least for me (that's how I raised my level of written English). I can work through several books at the same time.

Answer 2

My most basic storage is Google Chrome bookmarks. The most convenient. You don’t need to fiddle with anything - you poked at the asterisk - you have the material (I also add tags to the names so that I can later find them by keywords).
Plus, I created a bunch of themed folders and everything is fast and convenient.
I see that people are liking, apparently it’s not such a bad option, so I’ll add a screen.
Maybe someone will like the idea of ​​using icons, without titles, for "quick" navigation (1). It is also convenient to add an asterisk for bookmarks (2), so that it is convenient to search

How do you manage your knowledge base? What tools do you use for this?

Answer 6

I try to remember at least the basic terms or formulations. If you need it later - through Google from the very beginning, and there the associative memory will tell you where to go. I do not keep any local external storage.

Answer 7

"Not long ago (a month or two ago) I read an excellent article about how strings are arranged in java. I have already forgotten most of it."
When it comes to memorizing information, use Anki. I do it myself. It eats for a while, but the infa is absorbed and over time does not disappear anywhere from the head.

Answer 8

I will share my system, but only in terms of storing information from articles.
At the moment, the following algorithm has developed. Information comes mainly through RSS-aggregator and twitter. Further, the articles that interest me go to Pocket, always with tags. Then the articles are read\viewed, if you need to save an article (for example, a tutorial), it is marked with favorites . If the article turned out to be empty - delete . If it’s just a good article, but I most likely won’t return to it in the future (for example, a review) - archive .
Through the interaction of Pocket, IFTTT, ukeeperAll articles are emailed. Favorites - Sorted by tags in my main account. Archive - dumped in a heap on another account. Ukeeper sends the full text of the article with pictures to my inbox. This insures me against the disappearance of the article from the network. My tags from Pocket are written in the subject of the letter, plus a search in Google mail can find anything.

Answer 9

I am using Microsoft OneNote. You can create separate books, in them sections, further through the pages, with all the office functionality - highlighting, italics, links, tables, etc. In the quick launch panel - opened, inserted a note, closed

Answer 10

zim desktop wiki: zim-wiki.org I've
been using it for two years now. The archive is almost 1Gb. Great storage for text and pictures. The text can be made bold, italic with underlining. Pictures can be pasted directly from the clipboard. Those. took a screenshot and pressed Ctrl-V. Links to html recognizes and highlights. I prefer to make pictures in FastStone (the best robs on the scroll), but greenshot ( getgreenshot.org ) is also great. Between zim and a screenshoter, it's good to hang a good clipboard manager. I use ditto ( ditto-cp.sourceforge.net )
Zim Can export text to different formats if needed (latex, md, html), although internally it only stores text + some format for boldness, italics and underlining.
To be short:
zim desktop wiki: zim-wiki.org
greenshot: getgreenshot.org
ditto: ditto-cp.sourceforge.net

Answer 15

Evernote + mindmeister.
And all sorts of videos on the local machine in folders.

Answer 16

I use MLO on Windows and Android. If the notes are small text, I store them in the body of the tasks. If large files, videos, etc., then on Google Drive, and the link is in the body of the task. Tasks get into the MLO either manually, or I send them from the browser to the mail (where you can "share" the letter with the MLO on Android).

Answer 17

Sophisticated folder system on the computer + Evernote

Answer 18

google.com is better than any local knowledge base a priori. Search in the text of the book is also there. As well as searching for pdf files.
Browser bookmarks by folders are the best option, the contents of the book. (Ie, it is not necessary to reinvent the wheel).
But back, for example, I need to find the basics of xpath, I will climb to look for a bookmark of which I have more than 100 or I will enter a query into Google (I think the answer is obvious).
