Streamlining reading and managing bookmarked links

Here is a brief recap of the workflow I use to collect links to read later.

It starts with a “Shortcut,” which is available on all iOS/Mac devices.

It is either something I want to read today:

Or push it back to tomorrow:

The links end up in a separate “Reminders” list, which makes it easy to manage.

Using Reminders as a way to organize reading links is quite useful, as it nags you at regular intervals. And if I’m not keen to read something, I simply schedule it back by a month or two.

Every weekend, I also run a script to collect all the links I bookmarked over the last week. The exported list is then published on this blog.

It looks like this:

The script is here, which runs in Pythonista.
