Even the process of merging bookmarks are favorites together is very incomplete: No browser favorite management system is that good. And what about cross-referencing articles. Don’t even get me started with stuff I’ve printed off and filed.
How do y’all (I’m Southern) deal with organization of articles and notes? I don’t really have time to learn another new technology: SharePoint gives me all the challenge I desire.
Have you tried OneNote or EverNote (very similar to OneNote but OpenSource)?
I have gotten to where I use OneNote for just about everything. Â Find something I need or think I might need and I send it to OneNote. Â I have my OneNote file in my SkyDrive, also keep a back up copy on an external drive so that if I don’t have internet access, I still have access to my notes/documentation.
My biggest issue is remembering which notebook I put stuff in.Â
Organization is probably the hardest skill to master… if you could see my desk (or my external hard drive), you’d know I’m not joking. Â
As we’ve discussed, Chrome is not even allowed on some internal environments. Â
But it’s nice to know Chrome syncs folders between environments–assuming you have Internet Access in all environments. My work is DOD and there is not always access to the internet–some networks are just internal.
Even in my Chrome Browser, I haven’t seen a lot of flexibility in organizing–like adding properties (metadata) or cross-referencing.
I have bookmark folders setup in Chrome and put everything there. Â I have folders for dev, admin, etc and will go back and review when I can. Â This is nice because I use Chrome everywhere…laptop, tablet, phone, etc.
I’ll have to investigate Trello. Some times I find a great article while I’m on a vhd unconnected to the internet–even exporting favorites don’t get it.
Keeping track of things is very tricky Stephan – totally agree. I use Trello quite heavily now, most of my life is in a list on there 🙂
