As the browser is by far my most used app, I find that bookmarking the current tab and describing the task with no more than a few words or even as little as a few chars, to be a good way to keep track of what things I need to do soon. For things I would get to later or whenever I feel like it, I'll put them in Firefox's "Boookmarks Menu" or "Other Bookmarks" folders, and have lots of folders consisting of Reddit posts and searches about different topics.

Hello, from next time please try and include commentary on a feature/aspect/application on Linux that forms the basis for your post. I won't delete/lock it but since this is a linux community, I would like to see posts a little more biased towards *nix instead of being perfectly agnostic.

I tend to be fairly laid back in my management of communities but I'm sure we agree that we'd like to see posts mention *nix-specific paradigms if possible on a linux community page.

Thanks

I don't think that XKCD applies here, browser bookmark features rarely change.

I think the point of linking this comic is to highlight that your workflow is both uncommon and pathologically insane.

I've seen a lot of weird user workflow in my time, I'd rate this one 3/10, the comic highlights the extreme nature people some times get to.

I think that's a stretch

Better than using tabs as bookmarks

I don’t know why you’re asking this productivity question on Linux and Firefox communities instead of on productivity communities.

Are there productivity communities?

Yeah sort of. I have a "to-read" folder of anything I've been meaning to read (believe it or not, it constantly grows and rarely shrinks...) and I use my top-level bookmarks bar for stuff to look at, usually cool FOSS projects I stumble across and want to try out. I don't use it the exact way you talk about though, eg I usually don't edit the bookmark name but the webpage title is usually descriptive enough for me.

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I do that with the TabStash extension, which just uses bookmarks in the background so technically yes

Yeah.

I also occasionally use bookmarks bar as session save/restore, since firefox can open all bookmarks in a folder if you right click on it.

Firefox bookmarks are extremely versatile and underrated.

you should try the desktop sticky note thing in kde

[–] chronotron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

only if i plan to do it in like, 3 months

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, but it's not a bad idea.

How lucky that we're on the internet! 😉

Everyone finds a way that works for them. I personally use bookmarks very rarely and often type stuff manually.
