Am I the only one who's bookmarks are a hot mess?
Most of my bookmarks are decades old and don't get used. I just leave tabs open nowadays.
Find interesting stuff -> not now -> leave tab open for later -> notice it hours/days/weeks later -> not now -> repeat untill closed without reading
Truly when I have to hard restart Chrome or my laptop, it's a blessing to lose the hoarded tabs and start fresh. Why am I like this.
I feel you brother/sister. But I find it liberating to throw away stuff, be it physical or digital. Sure there’s probably some cool stuff I’m throwing away, but I’m also clearing my headspace.
I remember hearing someone saying that if you can’t get yourself to clean up your desk/room/house, you should at least clean up your digital space to get more focused and relaxed during work/study, and I can confirm it works. When I don’t feel like studying I reorganise my desktop and folders, or my phone homescreen, and the act of making order really helps with focus
I doubt it, but not much of a point to bookmarks if you can't find it later, so I only have a handful of em.
