+I periodically try to dump all of my mental contexts into my notes. I noticed this comes in a few different flavors.
+
+- Safari Tabs on my iPhone and iPad: Goes into daily notes
+- Random thoughts - go into drafts and get processed daily
+- Shopping - including groceries, bills, and things I would like but not need. Those all go into a task manager
+- Dangling tasks - gets reviewed in the task manager inbox weekly
+- Personal thoughts - journaling every two weeks, although I want to do this more often
+- Events I have not logged - go into my calendar.
+- Downloads folder - weekly processed into other folders.
+  - Long-term storage in Dropbox and backup drive.
+  - Short-term in Inbox folder
+- Photos - place special ones in folders. Select shots in favorites.
+
+I am trying to think of other things that I purge. I used to write in a notepad and write on the page of everything I was thinking about. I used to write about people I have not spoken to in a long time that I should reach out to, mantras I came up with, or completely random thoughts.
