I use a shareware app...
I use a shareware app called “TrashLater X” that let’s me set up a folder so that any older than 30 days is trashed. I have a folder on my desktop set up this way., and that’s where I put all those things I might want to read when I have time. I often URLs from safari right into this folder. I go through the folder when I am taking a break and want to catch up on some interesting things.If I don’t read an item in 30 days, it’s goes away and I never miss it.
