If you are a clipper please tell us about it in the comments I am interested in the pros and cons. In the meantime this is what Shakespeare might say about it-
To clip, or not to clip—that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler for the mind to suffer
The chaos of fleeting thoughts uncollected,
Or to wield the tool and snip a sea of notes,
And by organizing, master them? To store,
To keep—and by keeping say we end
The mental clutter and forgotten gems
That thought is heir to—'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To store, to share…
To share, perchance inspire—ay, there’s the spark!
For in those stored clippings, what insights may come,
When we have paused to tag and sort them well,
Must give us pause—there’s the respect
That makes this tool a scholar’s friend indeed.
But who would bear the labor of the tags,
The endless clicks, the over-full archive,
The pangs of missing context, and the toil
Of finding clippings lost in labyrinths,
When one might simply bookmark as they go,
And trust their mind to recollect the thought?
Yet conscience whispers: "System makes us wise,"
And so the chaos gives way to order’s hand;
Thus discipline doth shape the scholar’s mind,
And wisdom grows from stored and pondered texts,
With clippings poised to light our studies' path.
