what works for me:
* "hey Siri, remind me to X at Y" (use this constantly, if I don't write stuff down when I'm thinking of it I forget almost immediately)
* for work, I use OneNote with a big pile of notebooks and I take notes religiously on every meeting and interaction ("wait, this person seems familiar ... oh yeah I talked to them 3.5 years ago about project X and their family")
* tbh I delegate a lot to other people where I can; learning to enable other people to do things well and level up and be successful is both personally rewarding and helps reduce what's on my plate (while also avoiding me being the bottleneck)
* emails or docs I want to catch later usually get forwarded to OneNote, but for file storage I have a hierarchy that's topical at top level, with folder structure inside by year (and inside that, by project month start -- e.g., "emerging tech > quantum > 2026 > 2026-04 - Client X")
* universal search is still hard, but it's basically down to Outlook, OneNote, and my filesystem (OneDrive sync) so pretty feasible

All my files are synced, I GENERALLY use plain text in Markdown.

Then I have a website, that also renders the text files with md formatting to HTML
