I have a To Read folder in my bookmarks bar. I'd argue that it's useful even though I almost never read anything placed in there: it helps me by giving me the opportunity to bookmark and close a single tab and edge a tiny bit closer to internal peace.
- shortcord 8y agoI have the same perspective. Last night I had probably 20 tabs open on Reddit that I wanted to read. Didn’t have the time to look through them all so I bookmarked them in Pinboard, closed the tab, and moved on with my life. Will I ever read them? Probably not, but it’s nice knowing they’re not lost in my internet history and that I could.
- Toorkit 8y agoI solve this by just keep the tabs open. I use tree-style tabs, so anything interesting gets stuck in a tree that I can collapse. It might stay there for a month, maybe more. Eventually I'll either find the time to read/watch/whatever, or realize it doesn't interest me anymore. Either way, after a while that tree gets closed and the cycle starts over.

I use it judiciously for long reads that I genuinely want to do but can't give the 20 minutes or whatever it deserves right now. Then they're synced to my iPad and make good reads while I'm traveling.
