The Power of Native Bookmarks Feature of Everyday Browsers
I always thought bookmark management is fundamental for anyone builds something.
- Maintain the categorization of your bookmarks clearly >>> 2-3 times a year.
- Keep an eye on where you are bookmarking them and find the right folder as fast as possible by good folder structure >>> chrome://bookmarks/ put this at the beginning of your bookmark bar and delete its name and use it as only with its star icon
- Clean the URL first, remove the ref sections starting with ? >>> This way you will be sure if you visited that page before or not. For forum pages like this go to top and zeroing the URL and then bookmark it.
- Always give a good name to the bookmark if the page has no good page title structure >>> This will pay off when you are searching something.
- Always use seperate Google Chrome profiles for each Google account. I have at least 40 profiles mostly client accounts and my platform’s other role accounts and my family members. While working on other account, when you learned from a page from that other profile’s open tab, copy the URL and paste it into your .txt or Google Sheets logs.
- If that other party’s bookmark will be beneficial for them, bookmark it there also and do a quick clean up on their bookmark bar and teach them how to use it.
- Use only your primary Gmail account for deep research and this will help organizing bookmarks and they will stay with you and in your browsing history.
I am prefering Google Sheets over plain txt or Docs for keeping changelogs, note taking and checklisting. This helps to customize the structure when needed and adding many capabilities on your knowledge and it is also as simple as using txt files.
This is one of my checklist templates. You are free to copy it.
