Introduction

If you’re like me, your digital space often resembles a crowded bookshelf or an overflowing desk. When I dive deep into learning about something new, I can easily end up with fifty tabs open, each one seemingly crucial at the moment. I frequently take screenshots of books I want to read or bookmark websites I plan to revisit, only to lose them in the depths of my “someday” list.

It’s a familiar situation for busy business owners like us: we save pages or posts that feel essential, but they quickly become out of sight, out of mind. Or, we keep all those tabs open and deal with all that mental noise because we’re worried about things falling through the cracks. This week, let’s explore some smart tools to help you (and I) keep these resources visible and readily accessible – freeing up our brain space and our browser tabs.

Streamlined Tools to Manage Your Digital Space

Pocket

Turn articles into audio and listen on the go with Pocket, transforming your bookmarked pages into a source of inspiration during your daily routines. (2025 Lauren here - Pocket is discontinued, so I'll be updating this post with other options with similar features soon!)

Historius

Never lose a bookmark again. Historius helps you search through your saved pages, ensuring you can always find that information you knew would come in handy one day.

MyMind

Experience the joy of rediscovery with the Serendipity feature of MyMind. It cleverly resurfaces forgotten bookmarks at just the right time.

Instapaper

Keep your reading list manageable. Schedule Instapaper to send a selection of unread pages to your Kindle, neatly organizing your articles for a dedicated reading time.

Browser Homepage Setting

Make your bookmarks unavoidable. Set one of these sites (or whichever other tool you prefer for saving links) to be the first thing you see when you open a new tab in your web browser. That could mean making it your startup page in Chrome, adding it to Favorites to show on your Safari start page, or even saving the page as an icon on your iPhone’s Home Screen. This will keep your digital finds front and center, ensuring they’re always in sight and on your mind.

Summary

Try one of these tools or strategies, and let your saved-for-later list spark inspiration and action instead of overwhelm.

Let me know what forgotten gems you rediscover in your digital clean-up. I’d love to hear about what is igniting (or re-igniting) those big ideas for you!
