In data management hell

God I am miserable. I am in charge of managing some several thousand video recordings as well as making sure my notes on them are accurate (date time and number of clips).

Really wishing I had not simply written down those things on whatever paper I had at the time. Going back and trying to figure it out is not fun. Someone save me from myself and my incompetence.

My recent job brought me - in a session of procrastination - to the tool that changed my life for the better: Logseq. You may wanna checkout Obsidian, too. Both are pretty similar tools with a few differences in style.

Imagine your own Wiki with the addition of a daily journal and other handy features. You can take notes to organize your whole life and everything is crosslinked.
- That sounds like exactly what I've been looking for but....I know I'm gonna sound like a typical lemmy user...are there FOSS alternatives? I had no idea something like this existed and I'd love to self-host it.
  
  AFAIK, Logseq is FOSS. Obsidian isn't.

I had a laugh at your expense, but I have done the same kind of thing so many times! It's the worst when you remember saving something in a text file, but you're not sure exactly where you saved it, and then after spending way too long looking for it, you get this creepy feeling that you may have not even saved it after all!
Do you have a Hotmail or windows live email address? If you do have a look at OneNote for note keeping it has a tonne of features like tabs and bookmarks, and can save to onedrive so it is harder to loose.
