🧵 Do you write memos on your random work?

Sometimes my brain melts trying to figure out my basic past work, like I'm going dumb over time. Basis for derivation is forgotten and unintuitable, some steps seem so obvious that I skip writing them.
How do mathfags deal with this? I write memos, but organizing notebooks is a pain that just grows with time, both in terms of size and effort to search.
