I’m curious how other people handle this without building an overly complicated productivity system. Throughout the day I constantly come across things I want to keep:

• Posts on X or LinkedIn that I want to read later
• Articles and interesting links
• Ideas or topics I want to look into
• Quick notes and thoughts
• Things I should not forget

My current system is simple: I email things to myself.

The problem is that my inbox has basically become a graveyard of unread emails with links that I once thought were interesting. There is no structure, no categories, no tags, and most importantly no real process for going through them again.

I feel like I need some kind of very simple inbox where I can quickly throw something in, maybe add a tag or category, and deal with it later. The capture process needs to be extremely simple.

So, I’m interested in how you actually handle this.

• Do you use one tool for everything?
• What does your actual workflow look like from seeing something interesting to eventually reading, processing or deleting it?
