| I use my bookmarks religiously Bookmark Folder : Description Files : Browser based files I want easy access to. These are generally static pages or anything I do data entry into (google drive docs, flowcharts). Things I could feasibly download a copy of. Reports : Dynamic pages that let me get a measurement on something HowTo : I often google how to do something, and when i find a result that i actually use it goes in here Tools : Web tools, like JSON pretty print. These are pages that provide an automatic service of some kind (i.e input / output processes) Index : Informational Directories. Examples include Code of federal regulations, RFC pages, interesting / useful wiki articles, cheat sheets, comprehensive guides that go beyond "howto", repositories, etc Reading : Blog posts, case studies, technical writings, articles, things meant to be part of a conversation or a showcase Communities : Social home pages that are mostly already bookedmarked into my finger tips like HN, reddit, stack overflow, facebook, etc Learning : Items that still need to be 'digested'. Stuff from here is often moved to other folders after I am done with it. Misc : (a word i only like to use once, if at all, in organizing). Basically, if all i do is take a glance at something and want to come back to it later - it goes in here Each of these main folders denote mutually exclusive types of content (imo). Within each of these folders I create subfolders as needed to group things together by topic. Add-ons Additionally, I use a tab manager add-on. Currently I use "Cluster" for google chrome but I am looking into switching to TabXpert. When multiple sets of pages form a cohesive context, I save that context as a collection of tabs. For example, if I am working on an analytics project I may have various HowTo's, documentation, files, and Learning tabs open that are all related to my project. I save that window, and then instead of digging through ALL my book marks I can keep a running session of relevant pages. Some of which I know are only relevant for the project and do not need to be bookmarked. When I start a new project, I collect relevant pages from my existing bookmarks into a new context. |
