Ask HN: How do you aid persistent human knowledge

#1
What books, tools, or workflows are there to help you persist your knowledge in a way that can last 5+ years?

For example, some people talk to mind mapping or org-mode. Some people use Instapaper or Pocket to highlight notes. Others use Evernote / OneNote to document personal knowledge or team knowledge. I guess others email themselves notes, or journal.

Nothing seems to work for me, and it’s either because I don’t have the right strategy, I don’t have good self-discipline, the tools I’ve tried aren’t good, or some combination of the above.

So what’s the genius pattern for filing, storing, organizing and retrieving knowledge for access when you need it?

Like the answer to (and cause of!) most problems: booze!

A nightcap and time away from screens to reflect does wonders for rentention as you get a chance to think clearly about the days knowledge gains without distraction. Scientifically test too!
