I've been writing a story and world-building as part of the process. Now it has come to a point where I have lots of information about the world and I need to store it effectively for my own reference. Should I start a wiki? A Blog? Can you suggest some **methods** (not software) of storing information for my world?

For reference, there are rules of magic, there are religions and civilizations, and notable people as well.

Also, I've seen there are questions about software for organizing world-building. This is not what I want. I'm asking about the 'best practice' of storing the information even before choosing a software.
