Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Curating a personalized queue of videos

If you have some downtime and would love to catch up on some videos you’ve come across, try this week’s tip! jehnaz shares their method, using URLs and time estimates on the tasks to have a ready-to-go queue for as much time as you have.

I discovered recently that I can use Remember The Milk to keep track of all the videos I need to watch but don’t have the time right now. All I do is add a task with the title, time estimate and the URL address of the video into RTM. And when I have the odd free moment during the day I can quickly perform the “timeEstimate:” search with either equal to, greater than, or less than time. This works great on my PC or when I’m out and about and only have my smartphone with me.

For example: I have the odd 15 minutes and I’m sitting in the park waiting for a friend. I pull out my smartphone and type in

timeEstimate:"<15 min"

and can choose from the list of any videos I want to watch right now!

Why not make use of every single minute you have?
