I am ruthless with my tabs. I always close them all at the end of my day.
Just like Inbox 0, I aim for Tab 0. Serenity is the reward for this small disciplined effort.
Close them. They're not going anywhere. You can always find the links back tomorrow. An entire multi-million industry wants you to find them back as easily as possible.
You might even find better ones when you start fresh.
It's just your loss aversion instincts kicking in[1]. It's how your brain is wired. But we live in the golden age of information retrieval. You don't need to hoard tabs. Your brain just doesn't know.
Trust me, if you can. Close them.
It will be ok.

- NaturalPhallacy 5y agoSame here. Right clicking my leftmost tab and hitting "Close tabs to the right" is so freeing once you get used to it. That aside, how do you do the [1] type of linking? Manually? I checked the docs and in classic hacker style they didn't avail me.
- seryoiupfurds 5y agoYeah, it's a social construct not a feature. You type [1] in the paragraph, and then you type [1]: https://example.com/ https://example.com/ at the end of your comment.
- dewlinedew2 5y agoI used to use the Bookmark all Tabs to a folder feature at the end of each day. It's the equivalent of sweeping it under the rug, or creating a folder named desktop_new and burying everything there
- dmt0 5y agoThat multi-million industry does a good job at burying the content that's not fresh any more, and not a very good job at filtering out SEO manipulators. Good luck googling for that article from a year ago that had a nuanced comparison of A and B.
- riccardomc 5y agoI also find search engine result signal to noise deteriorating in favour of SEO-crafted content. On the other hand, that article from a year ago is most probably outdated by now.
