Ask HN: What is your information management workflow?
For a little while I've been using successfully a workflow to manage my read-watch-keep list.
Here it is:
Sources of information:
- Tweets
- Hacker News
- Google Reader
If I'm using the computer or iPhone I usually add stuff first to Read It Later list using Chrome and Echofon plugins respectively. Later, when I get some time I:
- Read/Watch it if it's fast enough and use Delicious to bookmark for future reference if appropriately
- Add to Instapaper if it is something I want to read in Kindle (big article for example) and to Deliocious if is also somethin I would like to keep
- Remove from Read It Later list
I'm using RIL mostly as a staging area for stuff I wanna see later and Instapaper as a way to send big stuff to Kindle. However I do not have any kind of system/app to keep an updated list of books to read or videos/presentations to watch. Looking for something to help in this area.
What about your workflow?
- arkitaip 15y agoFor tech news, mostly HN, otherwise general news sites. Stuff must get read immediately or not at all. I stopped using RSS/Google Reader/ because there was too much stuff going on there. I'm even trying to stop using bookmarks so much because it just weakens the signal-to-noise and google does a better job (bookmarks usually have lousy metadta, making it difficult to find the stuff you're looking for, even if you use Opera's powerful bookmarking features).
