I takes notes using the Markdown syntax in Joplin, using E2EE and syncing using OneDrive.

I use Google Calendar for family-related events for which I plan to build an e-paper based calendar display for the kitchen along with the weather and the news headlines.

I scan my paper documents as soon as they come in and rename them using the following syntax

YYYY-MM-DD - Subject ($ Amount).pdf

I bought some storage shelves and I sorted my hardware into multiple storage bins that fits those shelves, and labelled the bins so I don't have to search too much. I haven't decided if I want to do an inventory of all those bins and store that info yet.

I also try to find an electronic version of the manual of any hardware I buy, and put them in my Home documentation folder along with their scanned receipt just in case.

When I bought the house, we also repainted all the rooms. In order to make it easy to get the chosen colors if we need to do some repairs, I took note of all the paint cans (paint brand, finish, color code) so if I need to order some paint I won't have to find a close match.
