I've been keeping my work notes as unsaved tabs in Notepad++, which has become pretty overwhelming. I jot down who is responsible for tasks, various usernames for developers, next steps, warnings to fix later, search queries, IDs for testing, and some commands. With so many notes piling up, I'm struggling to find a better way to organize them. My computer has limited internet access, and I can't install apps that require admin rights, so I need a solution that works within those constraints.

If you can't install anything, maybe try creating a single text file with clear headers like ##TODO, ##LOGINS, and ##COMMANDS. This way, you can easily navigate your notes using Ctrl+F to find what you need.
You're on the right track! Consider consolidating all your notes into a more structured system. Doing this periodically helps remind you of important tasks and can highlight any major roadblocks you've overcome.
That's a great idea! I'll try using headers to organize everything. Thanks!
