Add to the Utility of Your Browser Bookmarks

Do you find yourself visiting the same websites day after day for your work? This is essentially what it looks like for everyone, whether we’re working with calendars, applications, portals, or other systems. Bookmarks make this repeated navigation significantly easier, so today, we want to go over some best practices to help you get the most out of your bookmarks.

The Problems That Bookmarks Solve

Bookmarks help your business solve several problems, chief among them the issue of losing track of pages amongst tabs, or links amongst text chains. Important websites can be accessed quickly through bookmarks, provided you’re using them well.

Here are some of the best ways to use bookmarks.

Keep Utility in Mind

If your browser always has countless tabs open, consider adding some of your most frequently used ones to your bookmarks so you can close them without worrying about losing them. All you have to do is click on the star in the address bar or use the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+D/Cmd+D. We just recommend that you name them properly so you know what they are.

Organize Your Bookmarks

Bookmarks are helpful, but they can easily get out of control. Use folders to keep your bookmarks organized and easily accessible. Some strategies to try include organizing by project, client, resource type, or other variable. You can also use subfolders as needed to break things down further.

Sync Bookmarks Across Devices

Logging into browsers can help you sync bookmarks across devices, which is a significant improvement to the user experience of the past. You can continue working on any device, provided you can log in to your account.
