• my methods have been:

• use trilium for any detailed notes and documentation

• memos for random thoughts especially if shorter

• pen and paper when offline or on mobile because mobile trilium and moememos both suck

• zotero for citation and bibliography manager

• backed up to nextcloud

• i have paperless-ngx but found it randomly errors a ton of things and zotero is fine.

• considering if it’s worth it to have so many different spread out methods

• theyre fun to use but it creates more chaos then needed
