You might need to set up a weekly review to clean up and organize your digital collections. The only downside to this approach is instead of having an unmanageable number of open tabs, you might end up with an unmanageable number of bookmarks and notes that you possibly need only for a limited time. If you use Evernote's extension instead of browser bookmarks, not only will the page be saved as a note in Evernote, those notes can also be shown in search results when you use Google or another search engine. I make it a point to clean that folder out once a week or so. The To File folder is for pages I know I want to keep long term and will find a place for them in my bookmark structure later. I have a keyboard shortcut set up to save it there. Most things I don't want to deal with right now go into the To Read folder. In that folder are folders named To Read, To Blog, To File. I use Firefox and keep all my bookmarks in folders on the bookmark toolbar.

Walter Glenn, a tech writer at How-To Geek, suggested creating a set of folders for a reading workflow on Lifehacker:

If the page open in a tab is less for reading and more for referencing in the future for a project, either bookmark the page into a special 'Work in Progress' or project-specific folder, or clip the page with a tool like Evernote's Web Clipper extension.
