I use the old Favourite to save articles us on an interesting based on the title but which I dunno time to read at that exact moment every week or two so. My favorite tab and skim through the articles to see which one still interested me to my surprise. I removed most of them without ever reading a single word. The same. Has Also always been true of how I used the bookmarks feature in my web browser. I saved article

that sounded interesting or which held information on topic that I knew would be useful in the future. I think greeted folders upon alders upon folders and thought I had the most organised collection of links anywhere other had ever seen, but I never read them to sign. This might not seem like a big deal So what if I say some articles and then decided not to read them continue along this journey of embracing minimalism and becoming a more conscious consumer. Am I was reminded of the bigger goal to remove the non essentials, so I can make room or what I really want and the more I thought about my bookmarking habits. I realized, The issue wasn't that I was saving articles are probably never read. It was how much time. I was wasting scrolling through content to find those articles. I probably never read life without bookmarks. If you can described my blog for a while. You know that when I set my find something I tend to go all in his

we most evident when I was paying down debt, but was also true when I started get rid of my belongings. I never suck Yes myself, I just through things in bags and boxes and got rid of it when inside it. Change my bookmarking habits. I started by two immediate action and deleted every single bookmark and the folder. I created for them I will say yes, I guess myself once saw the folders work. Of ideas for my blog and places I wanted to travel to. As I look at some of the tiles I thought really do want to do those things one day, but air There's a magical thing called Google they'll help me and what I need. One I'm ready to take action that day is today and the bookmarks we're just digital clutter. I felt the need cause only organise so like to them all pit delete and saved. One sense quote never memorize anything! You can look up Albert Einstein. Why I hate Pinterest

before deleted my bookmarks, I deleted all my boards and hands on dangerous last fall when I showed a few the ways I try to be more cautious about my social media consumption. I mentioned that I hate Pinterest. Belgium. Resistance on the topic be certain that just because I hate something doesn't I think everyone has to. If you give value from something physical or digital, you should keep it in your life, but you're my thoughts on it. When I use pin rest? I wasn't just looking for New D. I why ideas or recipes try. I felt like I was building a page full of boards that portrayed my idea. Life, the tiny house I wanted to live in one day, the unique way- is utilised small spaces. The gardener create the pets, have and so on the life tat I loved it, one day was on Pinterest but is not alive. Actually living right now and wasting time. Creating those boards

in helping me get what I want to just wasting my time. Some of my court unquote hate. We can call it a strong dislike towards pinches, probably also comes from being a blogger and knowing how bloggers are supposed to use, it were told, Agree Board I represent our brand attract follower. And bring in more traffic to generate more money. When I try to do that, for on a budget on Pinterest. It felt fake, enforced, My love visual media, but I want to spend hours greeting boards and key it's updating them just because I'm supposed to you can't read, watch and do everything if we were to get technical, MITS, fair to say that Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook only asked to do one thing scroll through our feed to see what might interest us and neither read it then or save it for later. Is this therefore later part that I am not willing to do any more. I just can't if I don't have time a resembling, then there's no point bookmarking if her later, because

there's a ninety nine percent chance I'll, never readers- and you know why, because in it am I log on I'm just going to see more staff. What if I miss out on something well, so what what's gonna happen to me and my gonna be dismissed by my friends, because I didn't watch that video on Youtube. Everyone is sharing on Facebook or miss out on the news, because I don't follow any new sources on social media. No man! If I did, I don't really care because limiting self to only consumers? Small amount of the information that thrown at me every day means I am pro, we spending more time doing what I really want to do quote. It has to be ok to say CS, I it read it or watch it. Otherwise, you have spent life catching up on Netflix, reading, a backlog of top ten lists or looking, I guess, from coworkers. If those activities fit your goals, go for it but if they get you no closer to achieving what you really want to achieve tomorrow next year or in the next five years, down

the relevance in your life maneuver some roadie think about it. This way, how many times have you You wanna try five new recipes each month and how many hours of you spent pinning those these two pinterest man never actually tried any of them or only try to view. Similar to the way I used to buy books. I wanted to read a one day. I feel it bookmarking things was just another way of holding on some ideas about who I thought I should be, rather than being myself and doing the things I actually want to do now, I want to create a bunch of board therefore portray my deal life. I want to save money so I can make it a reality, and I want to save links to pocket. I can read about the sixteen books. I must read in twenty six tee. I want to read: what's all my shelf right now, and I really do I spent a minute organizing digital clutter. If anything, I want to say more time away from my phone and my computer either getting aside or doing something: creative instead opinion idea to Pinterest. Do it every time

check your phone, email or social media accounts. There's gonna be something new for you to read large and do you can't do it all There, origin enough hours in the day to consume all the information thus thrown at us, let alone get through the backlog we create when we bookmark pen and say things for later and that's ok. In fact, I think it's great you shouldn't spin off your waking hours consuming information, you should spending them living. The very short life were given these One thing I know is true about this topic is that we can all duly are bookmarks and pans, but we can't get the time back that we put into saving them, which would you For you just listen to the post, I told you can't read: watch and do everything by key flanders of key Flanders.
