      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

          I maintain a big @workflowy tree of articles & books organized by topic, so whenever I am in the mood to read something about, say, graphic design, I can find a list of books which I once thought would be good

          Nice tip. I'd probably prefer some sort of searchable tagging though, rather than topics. I am experimenting with using http://pinboard.in  that way.

          No it’s all over the place. I might make temporary sub lists or piles relevant to a project or shelve subsets for easy finding, that’s all

          currently using dropbox paper to basically make my own intranet (inter & intra linking made super easy); can spin up new lists or sublists with a few keystrokes, and no folder/file hierarchies to worry about

          I store these using github issues. The fact that they appear as issues keep me reminded that i need to get back at them. No rush. But github is pretty good at organizing 😜

          In Polar you can flag articles as priority. You can have any arbitrary sort so you could just flag articles that you currently want to read but still maintain the queue. It also supports 'archive' so that if you' get done something it's no longer clutters the main view.
