Today created a “CleanUp”-view in readwise. I have used a lot of reader apps (Instapaper, Pocket, etc ) and RSS feed applications (NewsBlur, Google Reader, etc ). What I learned from this is that it quickly becomes a collection place with lots of unread articles.

To keep Readwise clean and relevant, I implemented a view “CleanUp”.

This view will show:

• only articles in “INBOX”
• Saved more than XX months ago. (Currently I set it to 2 months)
• Have no highlights

The query is defined as follows

1

in:inbox AND saved__before:"2 months ago" AND has__not:highlights

If they are not read after 2 months, I was probably not ready to process the information.
