I do the same horrible thing with my own documents – pieces of paper, notebooks, Google Docs, Zoho – my only “system” is to try to put certain things in certain places (blog drafts in a TextEdit doc on my hard drive, planning for next semester in Zoho, project planning in G Docs since I need to share with others). Not great. But then, I wasn’t doing it well in olden days when it was all paper – my file cabinets have three different systems going at once.

Diigo. Couldn’t manage links without my Diigolet and my six zillion tags. And Netvibes (moved from Reader) for reading blogs.

Love the advice about using your own blog. I confess I use the search box on mine all the time!
