How do you stop your "Read Later" list from becoming a graveyard?

My Chrome bookmarks folder is full of articles I was definitely going to read later.
I save something because it looks interesting, feel weirdly productive for about five seconds, and then completely forget it exists.
Now I've got a huge pile of articles and no desire to work through them.
Has anyone found a system or app that actually makes you come back to saved stuff?

Or have you accepted that your Read Later list is basically just a digital junk drawer?
