Physical books (runs into many thousands) on bookshelves. I know there will be some that never get read. Oh well.
Ebooks on my Macs, iPad, and iPhone. As with physical books there will be some that go unread.
PDF saved to folders with others related to the same subject domain.
TV shows are serendipitously selected. Currently (binge) watching K-dramas on Netflix, Apple TV, Disney+, and anywhere I can find them. But I do not have a plan; other than watching productions that contain some favourite male and female actors.
Web videos on YouTube. Means I get to watch Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, Saturday Night Live the best bits of Jimmy Fallon’s show — but does mean I miss the absolute best bit which is The Roots — without giving up storage space on cable STB.
Articles in the media for the most part only the current news is of interest. Anything that I think I might want to refer to again, which is about 1 in 10,000 articles across 10+ different agencies, gets bookmarked.
STEMM articles related to health conditions get download as PDFs and saved as others of that ilk in relevant folders.
In a recent Korean language class the tutor asked each student what was the most recent movie they had seen at the conema. I simply can’t remember what or when that. If there is a movie I want to see then I wait for it appear on the cable STB.
Newsletters in printed form get skim-read for anything of burning concern before being consigned to the paper recycling bin. Online ones have been amassed in folders in my email archive but as my interests and passions change I clear those out — mostly unread.
Basically my approach is serendipity. Go with the flow. And change my mind often. Only a few things absorb my interest for years: baking, cooking (especially the cuisines of other countries and different ethnic groups), the novels of Jane Austen, my three second languages — including my current one of Korean, the 49ers, Formula 1, Le Tour de France, and green politics (including the Green Party of England and Wales).
