### google calendar / maps / contacts
|
||||
i've been a heavy google calendar and maps user for years. as far as i'm concerned, some kind of online calendar is an absolute must for any adult in the year of our lord 2023, and its the one organisation tool on this page that i would recommend unconditionally. there might be some better options out there, and i do have complaints about how the tasks and reminders are a little clunky, but for blocking out my days it is indispensable.

google maps plays quite nicely with google's other tools, and i almost exclusively use it to tag locations that i want to come up first in searches (⭐) places that i want to go (🏴) and places that i have enjoyed (❤️). it also (creepily) tracks the locations that you've been, which gives me a great record for the times when i do forget and need the info for my journals

google contacts seems a bit obvious, but its super useful for tracking random people that i meet at parties and events. you can also save important data about people like birthdays and anniversary dates, and the notes tab lets you stuff whatever else you want to against their name. i guess my real advice is that contacts are great when used as a place to take any personal notes you think you'll need, rather than just a spot where you keep people's phone numbers.

**bookmarks** - browser bookmarks seem like they should have a lot of potential, because they let you store any location on the internet, and they are instantly kept consistent between your devices. the real issue i've experienced with using bookmarks is that you either end up wading through nested directory hell, or you have so many top-layer directories that the bookmark you actually want is impossible to find. firefox bookmarks have a tagging system, which has potential on the surface, but is a little too clunky to keep up to date with in practice.

**file storage** - this has the same back-to-basics feel as a pen and paper notebook. if you're finding pinterest clunky to move images around, then why not go to the most simple storage system built into your operating system? i do use file storage a little bit; most notably, i will save every image that i use in an image to my pc in case i need it in the future. for mass storage and retrieval however, search is generally lacking, and the issues with keeping files consistent between multiple devices means that it's not my primary go-to

### conclusions
|

my overall take is that this shit is hard as hell. for day to day, my pocket journal / obsidian for long term notes / google calendar for events appears to be doing the trick. i'm probably in dire need of an audit of my pinterest and i might check out grouvee for game tracking
