Microsoft Sticky Notes.
All notes are labeled by type, quarter and year.

I've tried every major note keeping tool in existence, paper trails, and even diction software, but in the end a giant bag of non-hierarchical notes which are easily searchable trumps everything in terms of both maintenance, scalability and has a low barrier-to-entry.

I can search and read notes on my computer, on my phone, or any browser.
There's rudimentary support for color codes and markup.
There's no overall structure to maintain.
What else do you need?
