How to organize saved content on LinkedIn
LinkedIn's Saved items have no folders. Organize them outside LinkedIn, by use: interview, study or project. For each post, keep the link and one line with the idea you want to use.
Step by step
- Sort by use: interview, study, project or frequent reference.
- For each post, copy the link (three dots → Copy link) into the note for the right use.
- Write the idea you want to use in one line.
Inspiration isn't instruction
A career story inspires, but it doesn't teach a step-by-step process. A post with a document template is something you refer back to. If both sit in the same list, you reread everything to find the template. Separate what you want to read from what you'll use.
Three fields per post
- Use: which task you'll use it for.
- Idea: the point from the post you want to keep.
- Check: the figure, source or example you still need to verify.
Before taking a number into a presentation, open the source cited in the post. A figure that gets shared often loses its time period, sample or context.
A routine for your next posts
- Save the post on LinkedIn as soon as you see it. See where saved posts are.
- When you have a task, move its posts into the project note, with the idea of each one.
- When you finish the task, delete what's no longer useful.
In KeepScroll, the shared post already comes with its text, documents and summary, and lands in its subject's collection. Before the meeting, you ask the chat and get the answer with the original post. For discussions that complement the material, see how to organize what you save on Reddit.
