Hi Randall
I'm very interested in hearing how others archive/ organise their work/
ideas/ references as to be honest I have stuff all over the place and lose
things all the time, which is frustrating confusing and inefficient. I have
notes in text files on the computer, in traditional notebooks, online - on
my blog and some on evernote. Too many places and not organised. I need a
better system!
