I've been writing everything down in a notes app recently and I love it. If I think of a good Christmas gift for my brother in July, it goes in the app. If someone recommends an interesting-sounding book, it goes in the app. If an app at work has a specific or convoluted build process, it goes in the app.

As someone who spent his entire childhood getting in trouble for forgetting things, it's been life-changing. Computers remember things so much better than my dumb brain.
