I create Jira tickets for myself... But actually it's because most of my "read later"s are work-related. For personal things, my general attitude is "read now or not ever." I close all my browser tabs at the end of each day.

I wish I had a similar attitude! I tend to think there's always time later, but it seems way more efficient to just do/read things in the moment.

Well, I'm 36 now and I've finally realized time is not infinite. If I don't care enough to read a thing now, then I just close the tab and move on with my life! Same with TV shows, movies, etc.

To wax philosophical for the moment, I like the word "decide", whose etymology literally means "cut off". Deciding is like cutting away things you're not going to do. Cut away the stuff you don't really care about, trim life down to its essence, and you're left with what matters (to you).
