I am currently running two 5E games. One I think of as my "newbie" game, the other is two players who I have gamed with on and off (mostly on) since 1993 and 1996 respectively. I am running a modified Ghosts of Saltmarsh for both of them (and I refer to the latter group as "Revenants of Saltmarsh")
Anyway, I keep a wiki updated for each game including descriptions of places, people, events, house rules, monsters, magical items etc. . This allows me to keep most narrative information together, allows me to access PCs sheets, and allows the players keep track of the complex networks of adventures, people, and events that come with my games.
I will say, I do wish the players engaged with it more, but it does help me keep track of "public" stuff as I DM and allows me to point to links about some things when players have questions.
