As the browser is by far my most used app, I find that bookmarking the current tab and describing the task with no more than a few words or even as little as a few chars, to be a good way to keep track of what things I need to do soon. For things I would get to later or whenever I feel like it, I’ll put them in Firefox’s “Boookmarks Menu” or “Other Bookmarks” folders, and have lots of folders consisting of Reddit posts and searches about different topics.

    Hello, from next time please try and include commentary on a feature/aspect/application on Linux that forms the basis for your post. I won’t delete/lock it but since this is a linux community, I would like to see posts a little more biased towards *nix instead of being perfectly agnostic.

    I tend to be fairly laid back in my management of communities but I’m sure we agree that we’d like to see posts mention *nix-specific paradigms if possible on a linux community page.

    Thanks

    I don’t trust myself to remember to check a to-do list, so when I know I want/need to do something later, I just add it to my calendar so I get notified and I can snooze it if I want to delay it but not completely forget.

    I don’t know why you’re asking this productivity question on Linux and Firefox communities instead of on productivity communities.

    Yeah sort of. I have a “to-read” folder of anything I’ve been meaning to read (believe it or not, it constantly grows and rarely shrinks…) and I use my top-level bookmarks bar for stuff to look at, usually cool FOSS projects I stumble across and want to try out. I don’t use it the exact way you talk about though, eg I usually don’t edit the bookmark name but the webpage title is usually descriptive enough for me.

    Yeah.

    I also occasionally use bookmarks bar as session save/restore, since firefox can open all bookmarks in a folder if you right click on it.

    Firefox bookmarks are extremely versatile and underrated.

    I do. I have a daily folder, weekly and reread, apart from the usual categories for long-term storage. “daily” gets the current stuff, “weekly” gets opened once a week, and “reread” is for stuff I read but didn’t really absorb. thanks to firefox sync I can read all of that form tablet or desktop or whatever.

    stole it from Cory Doctorow: https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/25/today-in-tabs/

    in the morning I middle-click on “daily” and it opens em all up - lemmy, mastodon, weather, stuff I’d like to buy, etc. and you go through them; got way easier with the new vertical bar + middle click for close the ones you done with.
