From my perspective its this I tend to do think and do things very on a very asynchronous / concurrency level. I'll load dozens of webpages CTRL+Left click new tabs open, cross reference other documents open. When I do this, there's two reasons usually - 1. I'm surfing the web for interesting content as quickly as possible - 2. I'm researching a specific topic and answer ------------------------------------------------------------------ So in case 1, I'm on hackernews. Its far faster for CTRL+Left click and upvote dozens of articles that I find relevant. First, I open the comments page to see what the general concensus on the article is, then I load the article after. Because my browser needs a few seconds to load all this in one go, it makes sense for me to open new tabs at a time. I save what is essentially seconds of time, but it adds up in the long run making me way more productive. When I get tab overflow, I just move the most important tab (the hackernews page) to its own window, leaving behind everything else, but not closing it off. I have the "Great suspender" chrome extension set to 30 minutes or so, in that 30 minutes, I will pop open roughly 20-100 tabs and skimp through dozens of articles and hundreds of comments. I do the same process as well, for (2) researching a specific topic in a field. Say my computer breaksdown. I need to deduce what issues I can look up, and go through dozens of sites such as tomshardware, reddit, microsoft tech support, superuser stackexchange, youtube, among many others. I need to cross reference sometimes dozens of sites to identify and narrow the issue. Not everyone does things this way, it requires a specific mindset to be okay with having a chrome tab wasteland, but it gets the job done way faster than any other solution or method I've tested. I realize that (1) reading and keeping up to date on news is valuable, but it also is a huge time drain as well. So I try and get it as quickly over with as possible. During this entire process I will also bookmark certain things as well, based on how useful the information is. In each of these 20-100 sites, I assign a mental metric in my head, depending on the metric, I will do certain things ------------------------------------------------------------------ - 1. If the site is relevant to me down the road and on a site, or has something interesting to talk about, I will CTRL+D pinboard shift add 3 or so tags and press enter. This takes me about 5-10 seconds to do on a page - 2. If the site came from hackernews and is going to be useful in my life in the next 1-2 years, I will "favorite it" - 3. If the site is interesting on hackernews and I read the comments / article, I will "upvote it" - 4. If the article on the site is something I will use in the following week, it will be added as a chrome toolbar bookmark which I sorted on a A-Z basis ------------------------------------------------------------------ At the end of the day I will have funneled down all the interesting tidbits into (1) what is useful and (2) what is interesting, and (3) what is not. These will all be aggregated in a singular list on hackernews or pinboard or into its own dedicated spot on chromes toolbar. This means I can access all the information I've ever read in roughly a few keyboard clicks and strokes and can reference and cite dozens of pieces of factual pieces of information to backup any arguments I have, whether in writing or in person.
