let me disclose my secret: i meticulously every week add bookmarks to my pinboard as troves of internet knowledge to be used by me.
After 6 yrs (still adding), I admit I never came back to fetch any of them.
- fastball 6y agoMy trick is that historically when I was bored (or on the toilet) I would always reflexively reach for social media (mainly reddit) to pass the time. A couple years ago I made the conscious decision to stop using reddit, but wanted something to replace those little moments of downtime[1] with. So I bought a nice-looking Pinboard client[2] for my phone, and have trained myself to reach for pinboard in those little moments of boredom, generally reading through things in my "read later" queue.

- idlewords 6y agoThis is basically the business model of all online bookmarking except Pinterest. You pay to not feel guilty about never looking at the stuff again.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoI did the same but I stopped. I use firefox bookmark sync and that's enough for me for now and has been for years :)
