Open tabs in Firefox. I make it a point to hit zero tabs at least once per day.

Instapaper and pinboard, with no explicable decision procedure between the two.

Instapaper. I tried pocket. Ever since it was forced down my throat by being integrated into Firefox, it has left a sour taste in my mouth, but I figured I’d try it anyways. Ended up not really liking it - can’t really remember why.

Also, I’ve been listening to a lot of Marco Arment’s podcasts lately, so I’m probably biased.

Perhaps a bit late to the party, but Wallabag is quite nice too. While there’s a hosted version available, you can host it yourself too for those who rather keep control of their data. They also offer extensions for Chrome/Firefox and apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

I do virtually all of my reading via newsblur.com (lobste.rs included), which has a very handy “save” feature. It even snapshots the story content in addition to the URL, which is handy for older stuff.

A reminder in Google Inbox. Scheduled for either “this evening” or “someday”, depending. The trick to making it useful is to actually go through the “someday” bucket when I’m bored.

I’ve used taskwarrior with moderate success (I never remember to actually use it) I use a simple bash function to create a task

#!! /bin/bash

alias in=‘task add +process’

tickle () { deadline=$1 shift in + tickle wait:“$deadline” “$@” }

alias tick=tickle alias think=‘tickle +1d’ alias lookup=‘task add +lookup +next +@online’

webpage_title () { wget -qO- “$*” | hxselect -s ‘\n’ -c ‘title’ 2>/dev/null }

read_and_review () {
   link="$1"
   title=$(webpage_title "$link")
   echo "$title"
   descr='Check: '+"$title"
   id=$(task add +next +lookup "$descr" | sed -n 's/Created task \(.*\)./\1/p')
   task "$id" annotate "$link"
}

alias checkout=read_and_review

This script is mostly based on a series of posts I found on how to use GTD with taskwarrior.

I use tabs in my web browser. I’ve found that unless I have some physical annoyance (lots of tabs) forcing me to act, I won’t actually consume my reading log. So now I have to decide if I actually want to read something or not.

Lobsters and RSS go to my inbox, so mark as unread is what I end up using.

I use Tinderizer a lot (http://tinderizer.com/) to read later on a Kindle.
