Physical and/or digital. Books, articles, or anything else you might want to reference. How do you make sense of all the resources you've gathered?<p>Beyond the usual sorting by "Author/Date" and by topics (eg Tech, Psychology), I'm interested to hear about some of the strategies, frameworks, philosophies etc that you have figured out in terms of organizing your library?<p>Eg. the groupings you use, particular categories/tags (eg "classics"), etc.
Part of me suspects because there's no obvious answer, there are no good answers and until technology improves, everything is effectively a compromise.<p>In some sense, you're trying to build a more meaningful Google, albeit at a much smaller scale.<p>I will say it wasn't intentional, but Kindle highlights have been unexpectedly useful for giving me a "feel" for what a book is about and reminding me about important insights I may have forgotten.<p>I use Roam Research daily as a journal, but I don't find it useful for retrieving information, maybe because I can't explicitly predict the structures I'll need ahead of time.
