    I’m certain my wife is ADHD, undiagnosed.

    One thing she does is constantly buy storage containers of all shapes and sizes to organise her insanely disorganised world.

    All this has achieved is an insane amount of forgotten storage containers in the house and we have no idea what’s in any of them.

    And yes, she once attempted to buy a giant storage unit to store her storage containers.

    You have to remember the thing you wanted to remember and where you put it only to find it six months after the point it was useful anymore but don’t delete it because it might be important again even though the odds of you remembering it and where it is should it be useful are near zero.

    I always screenshot a million things on my phone and then purge them all at once one day without even looking.

    I have a Project Ideas folder that would choke an ox, as my dad used to say. The only time I ever look through it is when I’m adding something. But tbh I do find items in there that I’ve actually done.

    I have many notebooks. They range from pocket sized to 8" x 5" when they’re for ideas. I’ll occasionally use larger ones for other things, but I want to take down my thoughts quickly, and I really only want the essence of them, so I write in references to other things, images, and a short phrase to title it for context

    The nice thing is I’ve got almost 2 decades of notebooks like this - they’re scattered all through my things, basically by era.

    And because of that, I don’t need to fill or organize notebooks - every few years I’ll see one I like and make it the idea book

    I’ve gone through like 10x as many for work, but I just throw those away when they’re full

    I do create screenshots and screen cuts using PickPick and auto-save turned on - it is better than any AI bases self-survivalence tool

    Can’t count the number of ideas I’ve lost simply because I can’t remember to jot it down when it hits

      Google Keep/Apple Notes/Nextcloud Talk’s “note to self” is a lifesaver here.

    Actually, Apple’s AI has made this pretty useful these days. It’s become yet another extension of my brain since i can now search them. But, yes, for a long time they were just more clutter. And, the benefit may still be quite marginal due to the fact that they are using energy in perpetuity as long as they are stored in the cloud. lol
