The old as time debate: how do you save content for later?

I have always been terrible at this! I used to always have 100 (ok maybe not that many!) tabs open at all times and would randomly pick one to read when I had downtime... not the best approach 😅 A few months ago I started playing around with a tool called Heyday (launched yesterday) from @samdebrule and @samiur1204 that is essentially a Chrome extension built to resurface content you've previously seen/researched when you need it most. This has allowed me to close the tabs and take a more hands-off approach which I have preferred over trying to manage bookmarks or other read-it-later options.

I really enjoy my raindrop extension. Hands down the best tool out there.

- Pocket - Todoist (Pro) - Notion (specifically their databases) - YouTube (Watch Later)

It depends... - Pocket 7.0 is my go-to for long form reading that I want to do later - OneTab is how I save browser tabs I want to revisit or I just don't have time to deal with that day - Evernote 8.0 - January 2017 is for recipes, but I don't love it. I have been too lazy to migrate to a better tool

I used to have 1000+ bookmarked on my browser but found that I can not locate the ones I am interested in. So I created a to-do list app and e-notes app with categories and a searchable database with the URL of the content I was reading. The to-do list app, to keep on reminding me about the content. The e-notes app, to have some summary notes and the URL of the content. Both apps helped me continue enjoying the content at a later time and for all time, as reference. I will be launching these apps soon in ProductHunt.

If you are asking for a research phase of content production process, we are currently developing http://collabwriting.com which will be a tool exactly for that 😄 For personal use I would strongly suggest a book "How to take smart notes" by Sönke Ahrens The problem with research and note taking is often not the problem with a tool but the problem with organization of thoughts. This book solves the core problem. Then you can implement stuff from the book with Workflowly, Notion or plain old pen and paper 😄

Big fan of Refind as well as the Send to Kindle for Google Chrome™.

Honestly, I always try to not rely on other applications and extensions - so typically I just bookmark it! Then I forget about it and re-discover it many months later like a little content present!

This is such a tough nut to crack - I've tried a few options, but each have their issues: Google Keep: I'll save links here and put reminders to read stuff, especially interesting articles about things in my field. It's easy to find for the most part, and very mobile friendly. Asana: If its work related I'll do a task - this is the most fool proof, but not for non-work stuff. Browser tabs within a special browser window: I have a window I leave open all day with interesting things I want to read, and try and clear it out each evening. It can be very distracting though, or worse case, ends up with hundreds of tabs in a week, killing my laptop.

Oh I'm so awful at this. Honestly, I usually just create a Google Doc with a specific project (or concept like: To Read Later) and put everything into that. Then at least I know it's all in one easily-found place.
