Are you an information hoarder like me?
How many tabs have you got open right now?
Do you tend to sign up for newsletters that you never read?
What does your "watch later" playlist look like on YouTube?
That last one was what made me realize I have a problem. It got to the point where I have written scripts to manage my playlists because I hit the maximum YouTube allows.
Yeah, I didn't know either until I hit it. 5,000 watch laters it seems, or even less. I am "down" to 4,443 and counting ;)
What makes it even trickier is the YouTube API doesn't allow you to manage your Watch Later directly.
I know someone who each January does a "select-all-delete" figuring if he hasn't got to it he won't do.
I'm not quite that brave but I have more gentle ideas.
Audit Your Collection
Set aside time to review what you've bookmarked or saved and delete anything outdated or irrelevant. Ask yourself, “Will I really use this?”
Sort and filter your saved items by what’s most beneficial right now. Focus on those most helpful with your current goals or interests.
Block out regular, short "learning slots" in your calendar (e.g., 20–30 minutes a few times a week) to work through your collection. If you don't make time you won't get time!
Resist the urge to do everything at once. Commit to one thing before moving on.
Make Action Notes
For each lesson, jot down what you want to achieve or why you want to learn it and make action steps a priority rather than leave it as "oh interesting"
Stop Hoarding
Sometimes I sit adding to watch later so much that I don't actually end up viewing anything. My free time has passed without doing what I sat down to do!
For every new thing you save, aim to finish one or two previously saved items first and maybe if you add something then you have to delete something you haven't used.
If you don’t touch a saved item after a set period (e.g., three months), let it go. Sometimes knowing a resource or solution exists is enough - If it’s truly important, it’ll bubble back up when you need it.
Over to you
Do you have this problem? How do you deal with it?
I am very meticulous with information. Anything paper gets scanned and filed digitally. I have over 10,000 PDFs and I can find just about anything within 30 seconds.
For websites, I have a system to store links I can view online/offline from all my devices, if it is something I want to store permanently it gets put into my bookmarks and filed in appropriate category.
As for everything else, I extensive Markdown style notes categorized and tagged for easy review/discovery. If it is a process I care about, I will likely have a note on it stored and easily accessible.

Look at that shit @bilpcoinbpc, you need more DOOK Tokens!
You need to Stake at least 2500 DOOK.
(We will not send this error message for 24 hours).
Learn all about this shit in the toilet paper! 💩
@bilpcoinbpc, sorry! You need more $WRD to use this command.
The minimum requirement is 50.0 WRD balance.
More $WRD is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex
Are you using an app for the markdown notes?

Oh neat, I have heard of that (on YouTube heh)
I love it, great program, I just wish it had better options for sync without paying monthly or using a third party plugin that isn't fully polished.

I'm resigned to never catching up with everything. Just have to be selective. Maybe when I retire I can read and watch more, but stuff is produced all the time.
I saw something recently about the Reading List feature in Chrome/Brave to mark things for later. I ought to use that.
I have so many bookmarks on X, save for later on Facebook and LinkedIn. I even have traditional web bookmarks and email red and green flags. All meant for me to return to and yet...it is rare that I do.
