What is Pocket?
Why should you use pocket?
10 steps to get started
1. Setup your free account.
Introducing Pocket from Pocket on Vimeo.
2. Install it on your devices
3. “One-Click Save”

4. Read anytime – automatic sync across all devices
5. Email articles to yourself
Going through your email and find a link to an article that looks promising? Just forward it to add@getpocket.com. That link’s page will be added to your list in Pocket. It’s also a great way to add articles while you’re on the go without opening the app.
6. Archive
Pocket is like an organized library.
I Archive items that I have read or that I don’t need right now but want to come back to, later, recommend to someone, or reference again in the future. I try to use the Delete function as much as possible, to have the archive as “uncluttered” as possible.
7. Tags
Tags helps you to group related articles. Here are some of my most used tags:
- videos: This helps with prioritization, and will read those articles while above ground and connected to the Internet
- CrossFit – CrossFit related articles and videos
- CrossFit Journal – CrossFit Journals
- Evernote – related to evernote app and “going paperless – lifestyle”
Other possibilities: apt (apartment), shopping, recepies (food), comments (reopen the article in a browser to follow the comment thread)
Tips about tagging:
Think first before tagging! And start small. Suggestion of tags to start with:Finance, Work, Health, Mental, Lifestyle, Relations – remember LESS is more. A tag you love today, will it be relevant in a year? 2 years? start slow – 10-15 tags. I always make the mistake to think that I can handle infinite amount of tags. I did the same mistake with Evernote when I started using it . And it took me 3months to remove and re-tag my notes.
8. Android Awesomeness
If you have Android phone, it can read the article for you. It is not perfect but surprisingly good and convenient. And before I started to listen to a lot of podcasts, listening to pockets was all I did during transportation. Remember:
There’s always a good time to learn.
9. Favourites
I uses favorites to highlight articles that I am working on right now in a current project, doing research, or something that needs action very soon. I try to keep favorites to a minimum (aim: 10). It is a great highlighter if you know there is an action on an article and you want to find it easy and quick later.
10. Save to Evernote and automation

Automation using IFTTT
