If you are on a chromium based browser, I found these extensions to help dealing with large collections/hierarchies : - Adding Faster to a specific folder with keyboard -> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/faster-bookmark-add-bookm/fibadljlplamppipiebabkdehecpabce https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/faster-bookmark-ad... - Tagging simply by adding #tag to the title. -> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bookmark-tags/edpeidcfjfmepdgdjnodefckgdjbigem https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bookmark-tags/edpe... - Sorting/Searching using more powerful filters -> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bookmark-manager-plus/pfbeenngglcojppheoegjjjomfkejibg https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bookmark-manager-p... So instead of using a series of "_" folders, What I do is I append #tocheck to title, then I can also sort/filter them by date, folder, url...(and add other tags like #5stars, #ProjectC...)

Tagging and all that is great, but that’s helpful if you’re more into searching and less into manually maintaining. I actually prefer my system over tags precisely because it requires that I traverse the folder hierarchy and don’t simply search. This way, I constantly run into stuff I can let go, see better ways of organizing things, etc. Likewise, I’ve eschewed automatic money trackers in favor of paper receipts, a meticulously organized spreadsheet, and weekly financial check-ins with myself. There are times when automation IMO actively works against the intended purpose, and these are two of them for me. And this is coming from someone who’s (like many on HN) obsessed with automation.
