Designing a new workflow for reading/saving links.

[rizwank]

It’s been a crazy time in my head, reading tons of Merlin Mann, and thinking bit thoughts as to who I want to be, what kind of work I want to do, and how I want to do it over this next five years.

It’s still all a jumble, but I’m slowly getting it down, written, for examination.

One workflow that has to be managed somehow : My links.

Each browser

I use Dexedrine, but some people find Adderall to be less jarring. I don't recommend Ritalin at all.

One of the best pieces of workflow advice that I've ever received was this: whenever you open an e-mail message, go to a web page, pick up a piece of paper, or do any similar thing, you should immediately respond to it, read it, or do whatever needs to be done... and then delete it. If you don't have time to read it now, why do you think you'll have time to do it later? You never have more time "later"!

I have to admit that I don't follow this as well as I should, but it really has helped me avoid "link" clutter. And I've noticed that the most effective managers I've worked with are those who do much the same thing. Read it or delete it!
