I'm starting a new personal habit. When I see something I want to "save for later", I am copying the URL and appending it to a running todo list in my Obsidian vault called "Backlog". Then, whenever I have free time and am bored, I will start at the top of my backlog list and read/listen/watch/learn what I intended to when I saved the item originally. I will force myself to only go through my backlog chronologically, top to bottom. I will also be careful in what I select to add to my backlog bacause I will have to face it eventually rather than put it off indefinitely.

I'm also thinking about a personal reward system for going through this 🤔

Gamification! Incentives! Productivity! Let them all be unified! 😁👾

Pocket, Readwise, etc. are purpose-built for this.

Couldn't you use Highlighter for that?

I'll be honest, I have no idea how to use highlighter. It may have been broken when I last tried it out because I couldn't get it to work

It doesn't work. 😂

But I might fork it and fix it, eventually, because I like the idea and the UI is gorgeous. Working on other stuff, right now.

Oh thats a good idea. Way bettern than my mess of scattered "ill get to it later lists"

I could do that in logseq pretty easy.

Never heard of logseq.com but it looks like Obsidian. I like it

Yeah, I was looking for open source knowledge management systems and this was the most highly recommended out of all of them. It was basically between this and Obsidian and I ended up going with logseq.

Check out logseq for a FOSS alternative if you're ever in the market
