This might be off-base, but i think your problem is not about storing information, more about keeping all that info in your mind so you can apply it. I tend to have an itch to catalogue and store information, but it quickly reveals that the constraint is time and what I can keep in my head rather than the info i have squirreled away somewhere.

The key is to understand that organizing/filtering the relevant info is a separate task from cataloguing. I spend a little time every week doing that.

Tools -

https://workflowy.com/ - hierarchial lists, very useful! to keep track of important todos/things to remember in the week.

ultra.work/lights-generator (thats a URL) - to track habits that i want to do every day.

That's right. I do not have problem storing information. I use workflowy already.

Thanks for sharing lights-generator. Checking it out.

Wow that's a nice way of handling lists.
