Want to settle a debate: is this still a common thing to do? If not, how do you capture things to look at later?

More likely to slack them to myself; often wish WhatApp had a similar personal inbox.
@matt_harbord ah interesting, so DM'ing yourself in one specific workspace?
@johnny_makes well, in the relevant one if it's work / side project related. And in whatever one I'm using the most if it's unrelated / personal
@matt_harbord that's cool, so basically each is kind of a "note-to-self" within a "folder" which is the project itself
i usually text myself and end up forgetting abt it … i’ve used notion in the past. will occasionally email myself links and read the next day
😂 is there a better way?
Lately been relying a lot of of the eco-system between imessage and apple notes.

@produkhelt curious about the link between imessage and apple notes! how does that work?
also tabstolinks looks very interesting, thanks for sharing!
I do this sometimes if I am on my laptop and would send it to my mail to later view on phone. There might be other reasons people stills send email files and links to themselves.
Let's say those files are important and getting this later in another device woud require some flexbility. It still boils down to what purpose you want to use it for.
Yes, especially important documents. WhatsApp or Slack is a fastest way to save something but when it comes to important files definitely email.
