So long. Bookmarks, pocket articles, org-roam notes, things jotted in notebooks, I even have an org capture template that quickly populates a list of "recommended media" (books, movies, etc) from friends and relations. Maintaining my list of things to read or watch has become a hobby unto itself.
Every once and a while I go through some[1] of it and ask myself "Will I ever actually look at this"? Sometimes there's a clear answer, but more often it stays in the list because it still looks interesting and I only consume maybe 5-10% of what I saved. There's got to be some term for this. Digital hording? It makes me anxious to have it and anxious to just delete it. There are plenty of times I do remember something I saw and wish I could find it again, but I lean too hard into "maybe I'll think about this again and want it".
[1]: It's so long I generally lose the will to even evaluate the items after a while.
