Do you often see articles on the Web that you'd like to read later, but you never do because you can't remember where you found them? Pocket is a simple app that allows you to save and tag things from your browser. Once you install the browser extension, you'll see a little button next to the address bar that looks like this:
Clicking the Pocket icon will save a link to that article and offer you the option to add a tag that serves as a sort of searchable file folder.
You can access those saved links from the standalone app or through the web interface. I use Pocket quite a bit, especially when I'm planning a vacation or working on a home improvement project. For kicks, I just scrolled through my tag list and I see some wacko stuff in there. Apparently, at some point, I was thinking about going to Zanzibar? Alrighty then! I have the app on my phone and the browser extension on my laptops. So, anytime I want to save something, I can do so from any of my devices.
Pocket can get out of control like anything else, so I try to go in and clean up my tags from time to time. I use the free version, but there's a premium version that offers more features. Overall, it does what I need it to do and it's extremely helpful for those who consume a lot of information online. Get Pocket here.

This is one way for us to organize stuff. The more organize we get, the better our life can be. There are people who are just so unorganized about things, and it makes me mad. I believe that it is important that we try to be as organized as we can. If we can be more organized, then our overall productivity will increase as well. This is just what I think, and I hope that I can pass this philosophy to others as well.
