Are you a tab or bookmark hoarder? Do you have any techniques to deal with the problem?

by•

Nowadays I save my content to Fabric (AI internet drive), but before that I actually used to save links and ideas to a to-do board in Trello. What techniques have you come up with?

Two rules. 1. If you want to save it, actually put it somewhere useful. That means putting it in context (save a link about nuclear power with your other links about nuclear power) don't just save it in a list. 2. Throw everything else in a list. You 'have it' so you don't worry about it, but you are really never going to look at it.

@joshdance I totally feel the context one - otherwise you have the thing but without any memory of why it mattered on #2 - that’s kinda my preferred workflow - something where I can throw content in without needing to stop (because I likely won’t consistently!)
It's a bit of a mish-mash for me at the moment. Some stuff I save to PKM tools like Roam/Reflect with context (I think @joshdance has a great point!). I have a couple of other "infinite pools" to save content: 1. mymind (AI tagging) 2. pinboard.in (with tags) So far I haven't found one tool to solve all my needs in one place.

@jdsimcoe ah that’s very interesting - so you’ve ended up with a few tools to cover the gaps of each?
