I feel like I can tick the first three off in one swoop.
The skill I’m working on now is tagging these saves intentionally. The tags serve as in-baskets. I can place a tweet in the INBOX of a topic/idea/subject.
The hardest part is setting up consistent buckets. Deciding what to collect.
Of course, linked references make it so that I don’t have to be perfect here! I’m adding quality content that may resurface someday — bringing me a delightfully relevant surprise.
That resurfacing lottery component is actually super lovely.
I save things with a degree of detachment.
“Might see this again, might not, we’ll see”
I even save my own tweets.
Because most of my tweets are me thinking out loud, sometimes I’m like
“Yea! That came out nice.” Or “Ou, that’s a new idea”
Then I’ll save it. Turning the ephemeral into grist for permanent ideas.
Saved that one LOL.
