"Reopen last session".
I used to have firefox open with tens of tabs, now I make it a point to keep it at 6. If I open anything I make sure to read it right then and there, or make a judgment call to pass; if it's something I will need later I look at the title and abstract out some googleable keywords. Lately, Searchyc has replaced google for me for research!
I also try to keep active work and research on two separate browsers. I have an instance of Opera open to API documentation and stuff I need to get work done. Firefox is for business and keeping a look on industry.
I use Sage, the FF feed-reader plugin and I monitor business news; no tech, no programming, no blogs, just business announcements, mergers and acquisitions and stuff related to my work. Whenever I start to lose focus, I take a few hours off to read that and I am inspired immediately. I am in advertising, focused on a specific geographic region, so any business initiative there, new project or whatever is just perfect news :-)
- tgittos 17y agoThis. I use Chrome and Firefox. I keep work related sites in Firefox, and personal sites in Chrome. I'll often open tabs of interesting things in Chrome to read when I lose focus at work, or need a break. Sometimes I can have up to 30 tabs of crap, at which point I need to decide which ones I'll actually read, and which one's I think I'll read, then close all but the ones I know I'll actually read. If I have to read a lot of interrelated articles or am doing personal research, I'll pull a Chrome tab out and keep it as a separate window. The thing I love about Chrome is that with the "restore pages that were last open" option is that it opens all tabs in all windows, not just the main window, and if for some reason it doesn't reopen all the tabs, it has a list of recently closed tab groups you can open with a single click.
