I've found that bookmarking helps relieve my insatiable appetite to Read All The Things. I used to add CDs to an Amazon wishlist to give myself a "cooling off" period before purchasing. This was before decent legal streaming services. It cut my music spending significantly. I've noticed that I very rarely read articles I bookmarked for later reading. But the subsiding of my compulsion to read them is relieving, so i consider it a benefit. This off-loading of tasks from (neural) memory to (electronic) notes is equivalently beneficial in other situations. Anyone who finds minor anxieties and tasks keeping them awake at night: write them down. It can help you switch off and sleep.
