How I Bookmark

I have a love-hate relationship with bookmarks. 

I have folders of links dating back to my first job. And some from college. 

They’ve moved from browser to browser to browser with me. 

But organizing them has become too much. I have sub-folders in sub-folders in sub-folders. It’s ridiculous. 

I turn to Google-ing links over searching my bookmarks. It’s easier. And I’m bad at maintaining my bookmarks.

Firefox, my current browser of choice, lets you add Tags and Keywords to your bookmarks. But the UI is a bit wonky. You have to go one by one. I have hundreds of bookmarks. 

So I’ve turned to Google Sheets. I’ve maintained a Google Sheet of resources that I’ve shared with friends, colleagues, and teams. 

Now, all my links and resources will go there. It’s easier for me to organize into folders and apply tags. And it’s fast to search through. 

And the Google Sheet link is bookmarked in my browser.
