Agreed completely. Buying a book is the best way to really learn more about a subject, and saves me from the binge-bookmarking. I've also made it a habit to clear out my bookmarks at least once a year, based on if I've visited the site or not, and if I still have any desire to read/use what I bookmarked. I've also started making it a habit to try and keep my email as decluttered as possible. All-in-all, it's really helped me mentally and actually made me more able to stay focused on those things I really do want to learn enough to invest time into (currently Abstract Algebra, at the moment).
- swiley 7y agoPart of me feels bad that this sort of thing doesn't freak me out, that I'm not bothered accumulating things like bookmarks, unread emails, and files. Maybe that I'm comfortable living with so much noise is why I go through periods where I don't get anything done.
- dorchadas 7y agoIt doesn't freak me out, per se, but it definitely distracts me, as I do feel I should go back and look through them. That said, I've gotten much more done since adopting this habit, even if Reddit kills me time a lot nowadays.
