How do people organize their reading? Perennially frustrated by this. I want one system that lets me trivially add books, papers, webpages, etc, re-organize very easily, search & filter. What works for you?

The trick is to organize/reorganize your ongoing and completed reading and staging. Not future. Aim to log not to schedule. Actual reading should be squeakiest wheel/instinctive choice.https://www.ribbonfarm.com/now-reading/
Very interesting, and consonant with many things I instinctively believe. How do you do the staging? It's not obvious from that page.

What's the reasoning behind "Aim to log not schedule"? I'm inclined to agree with "don't schedule", but taken as a whole I'm not sure I understand.

It’s like meta note-taking across reading. Your subconscious has a better sense of what you need to read, but your awareness needs some prosthetic help to optimally form the long-term memories the effort deserves

My staging is just bookmark/buy/borrow. Some books will go from radar to buy in minutes and take years to even crack open. Others will stay on radar for years, then I’ll buy and read at once

Making me wish Kindle would let me sort in reverse order of what fraction of a book I've read, with randomization for those which I've read less than 10% of.
