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.
Yes I do this. So what I do is bookmark any post I like 5 days, and on Saturdays and Sundays I go back and view them.
Read the ones I think are worth reading and leave the rest.
great! Bringing that discipline is difficult imo 😔😄
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.

After a bit of introspection I came to a few conclusions on why I am procrastinating.

This is worse addiction than smoking, drinking.
Haven't watched any short/reels for 5 days straight feeling like a void inside.
But its better, Watching reels/shorts would give a feeling of satisfaction because of the dopamine re...
Exactly the reason I deactivated Instagram. It's been a year now. Don't even feel the need to ever go back.
