Oh, when I get sidetracked, I get sidetracked like a train wreck, so you're not the only one! I should log what happens when I do, because it can get pretty interesting.
I don't generally keep references. I'll save images or maps with links, but details? Nope. I know I can find them later. If I have a story that is research-heavy, I'll start a running chronicle (a table with links and information found), but it's generally pretty vague, because I'm more concerned with the business of writing than keeping tabs on all my references.
On the flipside, there are works where I do intensive research and have to hold onto my references, so I can show that, too!
