I do something similar to notes to self, but with iMessage. I created a second iCloud account that I only ever text cool links or notes or images that I want to use later. Then I go through and delete what I’m done with. I have my iMessages set up to auto-delete if they are older than 30 days, so anything I don’t get to ends up gone anyway. Helps prevent me from just stockpiling things. I prefer this system to email because I don’t want email on my phone.
I've been using my email Drafts folder as a "scratchpad" as long as I can remember. I also copy across several email accounts for safety/redundancy. There are hundreds of "emails" in there, though perhaps only a couple dozen that are being actively used/updated. Most mail programs/interfaces will only let you edit items in their drafts folder...

I don't know what it's like today, but Feedly has a sordid, spammy history. Why not recommend a nice open-source solution like Vienna...?
Loved learning about Best case scenarios 🫡
