Services deferred reading - a handy thing. Well, you know how it is: you come across an article, there is no time to read at all, and the article is interesting. Not to produce a swarm of tabs open, I just save the link to the list, and then in their spare time going back to it and read carefully.

Instapaper, Pocket, Readability, «reading list" in Safari - I enjoyed them all, but stopped at the Pocket. I want to share its approach to the use of this service.

Rule two minutes

In My Pocket gets even all that interesting to me, and that I now can not read. Videos, typical article, references to books, collections, and so-forth. This is such a hub of stored material, which I will then be pleased to rummage.

Exception - I'm not in Pocket throws that can be treated here and now. If a job with the article I need no more

Pocket helps not to clutter up the browser dozens of tabs open. All you need to read right now - I read. All that requires immersion - save.

Reminder and processing

In my to-do-list, there are a few repetitive tasks associated with processing information. They look as follows: "To disassemble the Pocket", "investigate the pending messages in TG" and "Read email-mailing." That is, a couple of times a week, I deliberately set aside time to process the saved information, study it and understand what to do with it: just enjoy or use some projects.

Sometimes it happens that nasohranyal something in the mood, but it was not so interesting. Or would like to dive into a topic and threw alike materials. There is nothing wrong, because that is what filters the information to extract from it the most useful.

continued use

If I plan to use the article for the projects, in this case stands out from them the most important thing and stand in Bear. If you want to learn from an article by personal experience, then rewrite useful information in their own words, to better remember them. Obtained.

Articles that prompt to action, are transformed into the problem in my to-do-list.

In addition, all the interesting article before archiving I mark with an asterisk. Then one or two times a month, I look in the Favorites folder, choose the most-most, and publish in the category "references».

All this helps in time to handle the article, not to produce a bunch of windows open tabs and more or less keep the incoming information under control.
