I want to better organize my bookmarks, but I got a lot of them and even if I already tried to be a bit more organized, they look awful to me. I try to organize them by category and by folder, but still I don’t want to have 100 folders of 1 bookmark.
Hierarchical organizing is a balance:
You can do things the Apple way, & have only 3 choices at each level, but then you either need to dumb-down everything so it fits in a sane depth, discarding most potentials, XOR you run into near-infinite-depth…
Or you can do thing the other way, with wide selections at each level, and much fewer levels…
but then you get the visual/cognitive clutter…
Sometimes I do it so that at the top I’ve got something like…
( I’m just doing this off the top of my head, hence the not-in-alphabetical-order-or-any-other-sane-grouping )
In other cases I might do this…
etc.
IOW, limit the number-of-things visible at each level,
AND fan-out enough so that I reduce the stuff at the next stage, see?
That balance is the whole key.
However you impliment your right-balance, it’s the most important thing in getting it usably-right for you, long-term.
It may require you to develop a couple new habits, like more-careful organizing, or like bearing something that you don’t like, aesthetically, but the reduced-waste-of-effort in having things FINDABLE can become significant, long-term, see?
