The Best Way to Save YouTube Videos for Later

If you’re like me, YouTube is a goldmine of information, tutorials, and entertainment. But let’s be honest: how often do you find a video that you want to save, only to forget about it later? Or worse, end up scrolling through your watch history trying to hunt it down? It’s frustrating.

We need a better way to save those gems for later. It’s not just about bookmarking; it’s about having a system that helps you organize and retrieve them when you need them. Let’s talk about how to effectively save YouTube videos so you never lose important content again.

Use Timestamps to Your Advantage

One of the most effective ways to save YouTube videos is by utilizing timestamps. This is especially handy for longer videos where you only need a specific part. Instead of saving the whole video link, save just the timestamp.

With Markwise, you can capture the video link along with the highlight and timestamp. This way, when you come back, you can jump right to the part that matters. No more searching through a 20-minute video to find that one minute of gold.

Organize Your Videos into Spaces

When I'm saving videos, I like to think about what project or topic they relate to. Whether it’s for research, a side project, or just personal interests, organizing videos into specific "Spaces" can save you a lot of time.

With Markwise, you have the ability to create Spaces for different themes. Want to save cooking tutorials? Create a "Cooking" Space. Working on a research paper about climate change? Create a "Climate Research" Space. This way, you can easily go back and find exactly what you need without sifting through a random list of links.

Don’t Forget About Summaries

Let’s face it: sometimes you save a video and forget why. This is where adding a quick summary can be a lifesaver. A few notes about what the video covers can jog your memory and save you time later.

When you save a YouTube video in Markwise, consider jotting down a brief summary. This way, when you return, you can instantly remember the context without having to rewatch the entire video. It’s a simple step that can significantly enhance your productivity.
