Hey Bryce, always good to hear from you. I quite enjoyed this issue and recognized myself in the many tools I fell in love with which do not exist anymore.
My approach to managing stuff I find interesting online is quite different from most and I do have some interesting tools to suggest.
The first consideration to make is that I really do not have a time for reading later stuff I bumped into. I have a time to bump into stuff and that is also the time to read that stuff. The point is not to allow myself to wander and bump into potentially interesting stuff when I don't have time to dwell into them. So, it is either "bump into" time, in which I can read, or if it is not, and I still run
into interesting stuff, I just open a new tab with the interesting thing to read, and await the "bump into" time to read it all. No need for an extra app.
On the other hand, I do have a constant need to save aside things, articles, resources and tools which I know for sure are relevant to my work and will want to get back to, to add to collections or to review. For these, I have presently two favorite tools:
1) for creative, intellectual, spiritual and highly inspiration stuff I know no better place than Sublime.app to save, and find this material. The spirit of the person behind this app perfectly matches my explorative, inquiring, curation soul. We are definitely a 100% match.
2) for all the rest I am enjoying using Capacities.io and its many useful features and customization abilities. This is a powerful app for many knowledge management activities and it works across platforms and the web. (previous tool before adopting Capacities was Obisidian).
I should mention that Glasp.co is also a great tool for PKM, read-it-later and curation, collection. Definitely worth trying.
On the visual front, I find interesting and worth experimenting with:
Robin, I’m glad you enjoyed this issue and recognized yourself in some of the tools.
Thank you for such a lengthy and thoughtful comment. I appreciate the tool suggestions and will look forward to reviewing when I have some time. Thanks again.
4000 weeks is one of my favourite books!
Especially the concept of the finitude of time. It gives us permission to let go not "doing everything" on our to-do list.
Great to hear to that 4000 Weeks is one of your favorite books, Janice!
It looks like you've taken its learnings to heart. :)
Try to where possible 😊
