I am not sure "knowledge" is the right word to put it but this is something I've been struggling with, how to manage all the things that are not in your mind yet

Things to Do, Things to Learn, Things to Consume (Watch/Read/Listen), Save good things to find later (Articles, Infographics, Quotes etc), Quick Note, Unsorted Web Links, Thoughts on various topics (Impact of various tech on specific domains, better team building, various design practices etc ), etc

I sometimes spend a couple of days or so restructuring all these and then slowly I drift away to reach the same point where I started from (usually takes less than 3 months) and when I reach that stage my productivity comes to a halt, and the cycle continues Every-time I try a different Method (Bookmarks, Google Keep, Plain Text notes, OneNote) but nothing seems to be "just right"

HI Fellow HN readers While working on new products (or just brainstorming) I end up with a lot of scattered information in different file formats and places. I am sure there must be a better way to do it. Tried some tools but couldn't find something suitable, OneNote seems to be the right fit but can't do mindMaps

Is there a tool that can do following bit on one canvas.

Text, Excel, Embed Images, Simple MindMaping, Collaboration

Also, if you can share the process and tools that you guys use brainstorming/Information dumping that'll be great.

Any insights on how interactive experiences such as (shincity.com.au, fetedelabiere.merci-michel.com) are made.

Long time back I had seen a lecture video (black and white on youtube, don't remember exactly but was pretty lengthy) about why some neighbourhoods feels more lively/alive than the other, I am not able to find that anymore. By any chance anyone here is aware of what i am referring to, it'll be great if can provide me any additional detail that'll help me find that masterpiece.
