How to save time

So you are on the web, messing around, you find something interesting (and you don't have personal brain).  How can you increase your productivity plus read all the interesting stuff you would like to LATER.

How do you store this page and other similar ones for later reading, like when you are on the train, plain or sitting waiting for the doctor?

Enter Pocket or Instapaper or Readability.

Anyone of these apps whichever you choose is great.  I personally use Pocket.  I have installed as an extension in my Chrome browser on my PC, I also have it installed on my iPhone.  You could also have it on your iPad or any Pad etc.

This is how it works, I see something I like but have to work, I click the the Pocket icon, it asks me for a tags (something to remember it by). Enter and close.  That is it.  When I have time or waiting for something, I take my iPhone, open pocket and there are all my saved pages, without pics etc.  I can read it quickly, and use what I want.  If I really need the article for later or to put into my brain app, I can email it or send it to various other places from within the app.

Here is the intro video for Pocket:


Here the guy who started Pocket.
