I attest to the per use-case notion for organizing anything.

I'm fairly settled on a homebrew style of noguci's system including pen, folded paper in my back pocket, a few paper notebooks as well as markdown, google docs, simplenote (via notational velocity) and google keep.

Here's the post that inspired me towards this system - http://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1592...

However, my system is stunningly poor at filtering and modelling information into memory. I tend to frequently write, bookmark, capture things and leave it at that. That does not help. I have recently begun exploring concepts of spaced repetition to this effect but its too early to comment on this.

I have learnt to differentiate between archive and active areas. Screens and the internet while great at archival, just dont work well for active information that I want to recall at will.

Just wanted to point out that important difference between active and archive information. That link I posted above was from my archival system but remembering Noguci's system and that it applies in this case is from repetition over active information systems.
