Digital Tools I Wish Existed

I have been emailing links to myself tagged with a one word keyword for the last decade. They focus on things that I or my (unconceived, unborn) son or daughter would like to read, learn or understand “later”. I have about 10k sitting in my inbox (including this one) that I plan to convert into a critical path and consumption order once I take a sabbatical.

Sometimes the best systems are the simplest.

I started saving links and notes like this too. I type a subject that consists of any relevant tag words that come to mind

What kind of algorithm/system do you think you'd use to convert them into a consumption order?

Create a rough dependency graph and perform a topological sort, potentially skipping, down weighting, or skimming nodes that are onerous to consume but of dubious value (e.g. a link that’s a review about a long textbook that isn’t fundamental to a space).
