I would call myself a tab hoarder. FOMO. But I started using the browser setting to automatically close the tabs which have not been active in the past 7/30 days. If I have read the tab content, they should come up again in the history/search suggestions when I type in the URL/search bar. If I’m really sure I want to reference it later, I bookmark it or write it on my notes.
Also just learn to let go. I’m still having quite a number of tabs and windows open. But this auto cleanup has helped a lot.


Technologies are just tools. They are not everything in life nor is the internet the whole world. Use them to do what they help you in meaningful ways. Don’t feel the burden that you have to participate or be dragged into it. Take a break if you need, walk away, and maybe you’ll find out other things that you can grow / develop / worth spending time and energy on.
