I solve this by keeping a digital notebook. I have no idea why this is lost on so many people. Each project gets a new note in Obsidian or OneNote or whatever

I solve this by keeping a digital notebook. I have no idea why this is lost on so many people.
Each project gets a new note in Obsidian or OneNote or whatever note taking tool you are using. Each day gets a new #H1 heading with the day. Any relevant URLs get added to the note.
At the end of the day, review your notes and clean them up to be concise. Explain to your future self what you did and why those links are important.
Then close your browser tabs, they are saved in the notes.
If you need the content from the website itself (maybe you are concerned about the site disappearing), use something like Pocket or copy code snippets, text, etc directly into the note. Screenshots help too.
- RandomThoughts3 2y agoI’m pretty sure the Venn diagram of people who are focused and organised enough to maintain and prune a daily list of links and people who might open thousands of tabs is empty. Personally, I have stopped trying to understand why people do it. I’m just not wired that way. I am fairly sure my way of organising and sorting through information would be similarly bemusing to someone from the other side. If you are in product, it’s just a good reminder that you are not representative of your users.
- kasabali 2y ago> I solve this by keeping a digital notebook It may be working for you. People who easily accumulate 1000s of tabs, though, would now have 1000 page notebook and 1000 tabs. Don't ask me how I know.
