Keeping a reading list that works for you
A pile of saved links is not the same as a useful reading list. A little structure turns one into the other, and into something you actually learn from.
A simple setup
Margin, our fictional reading-list app, keeps it simple. For each link, Margin stores a title, URL, and category. You can filter by category and bookmark items you want to come back to. Everything stays in your browser. There is no account and no cloud sync.
A weekly review
Each week, look over the list. Remove links you no longer want to read. Keep the ones that connect to a project you are working on.
A small, focused list can be more useful than an extensive collection you never open.
