How do You Manage Information?
 

As a newbie, I'm finding that I have to remember many different things for different purposes. Usernames and passwords for a smorgasbord of sites, forums, and countless others, then the relationships you develop with advertisers, other webmasters, affiliates, etc. It's simply a lot of information. You have to remember which domain names, subfolders, ad infinitum. And it will only get worse as I sign up for more things.

A friend of mine whom I consider to be an expert in this industry told me he has an Excel spreadsheet. With the whirlwind of things he has to keep track of, an Excel spreadsheet can't solve all his problems.

It's downright information overload. How do you remember it all? What do you use to help you manage this ocean of information?

save it to your email ........

all in my brain

For apple users there are beautiful tools like 1password and lastpassword that i discovered recently. I think there are for PC users also.

Well, password managers are abundant if not a dime a dozen. In fact, you can just use Excel for that. Furthermore, keeping things in your email is a nightmare. That's like resigning yourself to the deluge.

When I was researching getting into this gig, I actually foresaw this problem so I prepared. Now, I'm using SugarCRM. It adds a layer of complexity, but it keeps things relatively neat. I was just wondering what everyone else is doing. Thanks.

It's easy :)

I like Yojimbo for mac there must be something like it for windows, but honestly it is just great. You can just print PDF files right to it and then tag them with keywords. It has encryption for passwords and you can just copy almost anything to a note inside the app. Awesome times to be had for sure.
