Getting Organized

So, I tend to be a VERY organized person. There's a place for everything and everything in it's place.  However, I'm really struggling with keeping all my digital and technological resources in order.  Sure, I can bookmark it, but then I have to scroll through a gazillion bookmarks to find it and maybe it was just a picture or idea I wanted.  So, for now, I'm trying out ScoopIt.  I'm not so sure it's perfect, but it's a starting place.

Advantages: 
+Pretty user friendly
+It seems most articles I encounter online have a "scoop it" shortcut.

Disadvantage:
- I was really bummed I could only have two "topics".  I was hoping to use this for both personal and professional use and keep different "pages" for Leadership, Classroom, Fitness and Nutrition, etc.

I'm actually finding Pinterest to be very useful for classroom ideas.  Not as much "meat" here of course as far as educational articles, but lots of strategies and ideas.
