Why Read Later fails
And how to read more of what’s really worth your attention
We live in an era of push but we lack ways to deal with it effectively. Every day more links are pushed into our faces than we have time to check out. Read Later is not the right metaphor since it’s only time-shifting the problem. It’s deferral. Deferral fails in the information age because there’s always more information to read later — our reading lists pile up and read later becomes read never.
Our smart reading list will help you read more. Links you don’t read within two weeks move to your Someday list, sorted by relevance. Your reading list is always small and manageable, and if you ever find time to catch up, you’ll find the most relevant links on your Someday list.
This flow works great for us and we’ve significantly increased the quantity and quality of what we read on the web. Please tell us how this works for you — by email (hello@refind.com) or on Twitter @refindcom. Thanks!
