Hi, thanks for your comment.
You are right, I wouldn't want to switch fields in research in the long term. For a limited time and project however I might be able pick up the knowledge on a particular set of skills (thus the question if a postdoc would actually help).
I use `mess` [1].
Short descrption: New stuff that is not filed away instantly goes into a folder "current" linked to the youngest folder in a tree (mess_root > year > week).
If needed at a later time: file it accordingly, otherwise old folders are purged if disk space is low.
Taking it a step further: synching everything across work and personal machines using `syncthing`.
