How do you manage your own knowledge/information?

Alison's Contribution:

I'm the kind of person who likes to keep every bit of useful information so I can find it easily when I need it.

So what do I do?

1. Any interesting PDF or other type of file, I download it to a relevant folder (sub-directory).
2. Any interesting web page, I print to a PDF file and again, store it in a relevant folder.
3. I bookmark my "best stuff found" online at del.icio.us (see http://delicious.com/alisonkmurray) and include either the point made, or enough of the article just in case they rename the link and I have to do an internet search for it. Then I put high level tags on it.
4) My "knowledge" I wish to share - I recently set up a number of blogs. I'm happy knowing that they aren't read. I use it to do a brain dump of my thoughts and ideas... again, I'm looking to have something to look back to.

How do I tie it all together?

Well that's easy - I use either the Google hard disk indexing and search function or Copernic desktop. These look and feel very differently, so test both out, perhaps at the same time and find what works for you.

Hope this helps. javascript:void(0)
