-Read and review folders
-=======================
-
-I'm bombarded with things to read or watch. Friends and co-workers give
-tips on interesting, funny, or useful things to read. Bosses point me
-at other things to read. I'm further subscribed to a bunch of
-RSS/Atom feeds, and I follow a few news sites, which often have stuff
-I want to read. And so on. There's no end of things I could read. 
-The army of monkeys trying to randomly re-create Shakespeare are filling
-the Internet with other stuff instead.
-
-I cannot possibly read everything at once. I need a way to deal with
-things I want or need to read, so that when I have time to read, I can
-go through stuff that is waiting to be read.
-
-It's important, at this point, to point out, pointedly, that there is
-often no need to read everything. The most important way of dealing with
-information overload is to be selective of what you spend brain cycles
-on. However, however selective you are, there's always things to read.
-
-The **read and review** pile, or folder, or list, is an important tool.
-When you find, or are given, something to read, or watch, or listen to,
-or otherwise process, and you put it on the pile. In old times,
-our ancestors would print it on paper and put the paper on a pile.
-These days, purely digital things are practical.
-
-* **Web pages** can be bookmarked. You can keep a "read and review"
-  bookmark folder. When you've read the page, remove the bookmark.
-* You can also save web pages on your local hard disk. This is useful
-  for reading offline, and also for archiving the page in your filing
-  system. The Firefox Save Page WE extension is excellent for this
-  (see <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-page-we/>).
-* You can have a "read and review" folder for e-mail as well. Newsletters,
-  and any other e-mail that's long and takes a while to read, can be
-  put there.
-* I read e-books either on my Kindle device, or on my laptop, depending
-  on the format. Unread e-books are on the home screen on my Kindle
-  (or if the list grows very long, in a folder for unread books). PDFs
-  and other big-page formats are in my laptop's "read and review" folder.
-* I keep paper books, magazines, etc., in random piles around my home and
-  at the office. They're rare enough and few enough that I don't need
-  a dedicated place to keep track of them. Likewise for DVDs to watch.
-
-For web pages: I used to do the bookmark thing, but it turned out to be
-annoying, so I now use MAFF heavily.
-
-I usually try to read things in a FIFO order. I've found that a document
-that's boring or unpleasant or otherwise easy to push later, always gets
-pushed later. Since there's always new material coming in, there's
-never a time when the boring document is the only one to be read. Sticking
-to FIFO, unless there's an urgent reason to avoid it, is a good way
-of avoiding a pile of documents that never get read.
-
-My threshold for putting something into "read and review" is low.
-That means a lot of things go in there that I don't really need to
-read. That is actually OK: at the time when I encounter a link on
-IRC, for example, I may not have time to even evaluate the document
-enough to decide whether it is worth my while to read it. So I just
-stuff it into "r&r" and evaluate it when I have time for it.
