+title: Efficient management of dev bookmarks and code snippets help me save two workweeks a year
+description: "Finding an already visited link or that piece of code you know it works and used before,
+can be a tedious job and sometimes even frustrating.
+ It normally takes me at least 30 seconds to look for such a resource the traditional way, and I do that at least 40 times a day.
+  With bookmarks.dev it takes about 10 seconds, so I get a time saving of around 40 * 20 / 60 = 13.33 minutes a day.
+   Over a year's time this translates to around 80+ hours of saved time."

+## Motivation
+Finding the desired link again or that working piece of code can be sometimes a tedious job. It can even become frustrating
+when you don't find it in a reasonable amount of time, because you know it's there somewhere, you've seen it before...
+After a struggle of about two or more minutes you finally find it.
+
+ ![Nailed it](/images/posts/2019-02-10-saving-time-with-codingmarks/nailed-it.gif)
+
+> For code snippets it might take even longer depending on your project portfolio's size. **I had sometimes the impression
+> I spent more time looking for stuff than actually programming**...
+
+This time you bookmark the resource, and say to yourself - "_from now on I will be
+more disciplined and consciously use bookmarks and a code snippet manager_".
+
+So far, so good, but soon the bookmarks toolbar won't fit into your 4k wide monitor anymore, and you might lose more
+ time browsing through them... Because you bookmarked it, right?

+
+> Gist retrieval can also be optimized IMHO
+
+Eventually you say "_F*ck that, Google knows everything about me anyway, so I'll just google it when I need it_". It usually works,
+ all the privacy issues taken into account ;), but what about your company's intranet links or those dozens of intern wiki articles?
+  Do you really want to use the intranet search or confluence search? I sure as hell don't.
+
+## Light at the end of your toolbar - [Bookmars.dev](https://www.bookmarks.dev)
+Well, out of these frustrations I have created [www.bookmarks.dev](https://www.bookmarks.dev) to help me manage more efficiently
+ both my programming and work related bookmarks plus reusable code snippets (**like 80+ hours plus a year more efficiently...**)
+
+### How can you achieve that?
+
+Well my computations are simple. It normally takes 30 seconds or more to look for a link the "traditional" way, and I do that
+at least 20 times a day. Code snippets retrieval might take even longer depending on the size of your project portfolio.
+On [Bookmarks.dev](https://www.bookmarks.dev/howto) it takes me about 10 seconds, so I get a time saving of around 40 * 20 / 60 = 13.33 minutes a day.
+Over a year's time this translates to around __80+ hours of saved time__.
+
+> Sparing frustrations, that is priceless...
+
+I have made it very easy to
+* **Save** bookmarks and code snippets via
+  * Automatic completion of location, title and description (and tags for youtube videos and stackoverflow questions)
+    * [Bookmarklets](https://www.bookmarks.dev/howto/bookmarklets)
+    * [Chromium extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-url-to-bookmarksdev/diofdblfhjbpgackifolmboaiccmebjb) - [source code](https://github.com/BookmarksDev/bookmarks.dev-chrome-extension)
+  * [IntelliJ Plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14456-save-to-bookmarks-dev) - [source code](https://github.com/BookmarksDev/bookmarks.dev-intellij-plugin)
+  * [Visual Studio Extension - please help](https://github.com/BookmarksDev/bookmarks.dev/issues/35)
+
+* **Search & retrieve**
+  * Tags
+  * Full-text search
+  * History, Read Later, Pinned & more
+
+See it in action in the following video:

+Best, give it a try yourself. When it becomes part of dev tools
+productivity toolbox, please share it so other can save time too.
