Except when you forgot to put it in the right place because you just had to extract it and do that one quick thing... I'd rather not rely on my own willingness

I'd rather not rely on my own willingness to organize files so I'll take a search tool any day.
- wrycoder 5y agoOne needs both. With folders and trees of bookmarks, you can discover stuff you’d forgotten and wouldn’t search for (because you’d forgotten you knew it once :). This becomes more important as you get older and begin to experience the pleasures of reading things again for the “first” time.
- quacked 5y agoNah, that's when you just have an "Unsorted" folder. Sort that once per week. Problem solved
- Jtsummers 5y agoThis is how I treat my project (personal and work) task management. Throw things into the inbox as they come up unless I have the time to organize right then, later on sort into various contexts and tag them (to the extent I care to tag) when I have a chance. Once I've tagged it, it's clear of the inbox. Also how I used to use Gmail (back when I used the web interface, which I gave up on when it started crawling on my new and bleeding edge, at the time, desktop).
- ASalazarMX 5y agoI have two such folders: "Downloads" and "Temp". Everything not classified stays there until it gets moved to a permanent folder, or erased. I admit I sometimes search for files, but it's a filename search, not a content search. I don't want a background service indexing the files and contents of all my disks when I can use a regular search instead.
