Content overload 🧾 - Do you also save links in bookmarks to never read them?
This has been happening for quite sometime - I have posts/reels 🧾 on LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Chrome bookmarks 📌 with the hope of going thru them sometime. However, next day new content comes, save them again, and never open them. The cycle repeats 🔃.
Does this happen to many?? 🤔 Has anyone found a solution to this? 🤔

Failing in doing this for over a decade now and now it's gotten even harder
True ... i am also curious if there is a simple technical solution to this
One way is to schedule time to read but that is never enough to clear backlog. Also very difficult to find relevant links in times of need
Try my simple solution. Not saving bookmarks at all.
If it's really a useful resource, you'll put it to use right away. If it's not, no point saving it. Plus you can always search for it later if you need it.
Better to have multiple open tabs instead of bookmarks, but they need to be cleaned up once a week too if you start going above 10-15.
After struggling with this for a while, I've come to realize that maybe there isn't a definitive solution to this problem, and you know what? That's okay. It's fine for it to be that way.
See, the thing about the internet is that it's constantly evolving and churning out new content faster than we can consume it.

Exactly last week, I was going through saved posts of Instagram and realised I've been saving many since 2017.
Cleared for a year or two's saved posts, went to bed tired.
Bookmarking posts are similar to paying yearly premiums for health insurance, you may need it sometime in future who knows
yeah, we save it to refer it in future or read when you have time problem is you never find time or it becomes impossible to find relevant link when needed 😔
My thesis project was exactly about this problem. I was a design student so unfortunately it’s just a concept, not even a working prototype. :(
If anyone here has great attention to detail and can execute anything, let me know. We can work on it together.
@SeorgeGoros great, would like to understand this better
Yesss
Not saving is one option but if we start consuming every single content at the same moment, it would be disastrous as it would detail me from current work
