I've tried using Evernote and Dropbox, but could never make it work the way I wanted hence the motivation to work out keeping note in an ordered way in my notebooks.
I make a text file per project.. and remove items as they are completed.. If the notes are more complex than that, typically it goes into the bug tracker (redmine, or similar)
Check out the book 'The Investment Answer' (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0982894708). Its a great place to start when trying to learn about investing and long term money management. It also goes in depth on how to select someone to help manage your money.
Thanks but I did read it and did not find an explanation inside the post except "So you are probably wondering why am am doing this and want an explanation besides ‘because I though having an excuse to drink beer all weekend was rad’. Its a good question and one I will expand upon in time, but for right now I will say it has to do with how many ridiculous and dangerous dieting fads are out there today." -- which does not explain it at all. That is why I did ask.
My guess is you're bored and want some traffic from HN, and are going to post three follow-ups here the coming days...
