I filmed this video to show how I organize my Chrome bookmarks for speed and productivity, especially when juggling multiple projects, platforms, and browser tabs.
Let’s face it — most of us have bookmark bars that are either empty or overflowing with random, unlabeled links. I used to be the same. Now, I’ve developed a system that helps me access everything I need with two clicks max — and zero clutter.
Here’s how I structure it.
Step 1: Create core folders in the bookmarks bar
I start with five primary folders, named clearly:
- ⚙️ Tools
- 📄 Docs
- 🎥 YouTube
- 🧰 Projects
- 📬 Marketing
Each one is organized by function, not topic. For example, under Tools, I save things like Notion, Stripe, Canva, Figma, etc.
Step 2: Use nested folders inside each category
Inside Projects, I’ll create subfolders for:
- Filmmaking Lifestyle
- PhotographyForStudents
- Buffer automations
- Kajabi checkout links
Each subfolder only contains the active tools, dashboards, and spreadsheets I’m currently using for that project.
Step 3: Rename with short labels and emojis
Instead of saving a page titled “Google Analytics – Dashboard 4 | GA4”, I rename it GA4 Main 🔍. Short names + emojis = faster scanning.
This also works well for folders:
- 📊 Analytics
- 💰 Affiliate Tools
- 🧪 Testing
In the video, I show how to rename and reorder everything so your bar only shows what matters.
Step 4: Backup and sync
I recommend syncing your bookmarks with your Google account so they’re available across all devices. You can also export your bookmarks as a backup or to transfer to another browser.
Bonus tip: I keep a Bookmark Dump folder where I drop interesting pages I want to sort later. This prevents me from cluttering the main folders when I’m in a rush.
Are you using bookmarks strategically, or still relying on memory and endless tabs?
