Why Bookmarking is Dead (And What I Do Instead)

I used to be a bookmark hoarder. I had folders upon folders of links I "might need later."

But let's be honest: I never opened them. Bookmarking feels like throwing a document into a black hole. It's too slow to save, and too hard to search later.

Here is why I stopped using bookmarks:

They clutter your browser.
You forget why you saved them.
They don't tell you when you need to read them.

My new workflow: The "Read Later" Inbox.
Now, I use a simple Notion board. When I find an article I want to keep, I use a free Chrome extension to instantly send it to a Notion Inbox. No copy-pasting.

Then, I sort the links into two simple categories:

Save Forever: For reference material I need for long-term projects.
Delete Tomorrow: For news or fun articles I just want to read tonight.
If I don't read it by tomorrow, I delete it. It keeps my digital life minimal.

What about you? Are you still using the old bookmark bar, or have you found a better way?
