Transferring my collection Draft email to Diigo

This past week I started doing some cleaning both of my physical and digital spaces. I realized I had 165 draft emails in my work email account.  Why?

Because I use my draft email to collect resources.  If I see an article, I want to go back and read, I attach it to a draft email. If I find a link I might want to visit later, I add it to a draft email.  

No bookmarks, no repository, just draft emails. 

So I am making a change!

Yesterday I added 13 new items to my Diigo library with tags. I still wish the free Diigo was a bit more visually appealing to me. I think I miss having a file based approach. But I am getting better as using tags. 

And I am thinking about upgrading to premium for unlimited storage, reading and RSS feeds. 

What do you think, are you using Diigo or something else to collect your resources?

  1. I never thought about using an email draft to bookmark before! I think converting the links and resources to Diigo would be a great way to declutter and have all your resources easily accessible!

  2. I use email folders to dump resources into or Google Drive folders. If I want to get to it sooner, I put it on a sticky note on my desktop. I also like the file/folder configuration as it is something that I know, tagging not so much.
