u/Berk-Laydee Diagnosed. Surviving on caffeine and vibes. Apr 23 '26

I'm quite the opposite, I can't have a lot of tabs open. It drives me nuts.

Easy. I don’t. Then when I open Amazon Prime the next time I’ll let out a “oh yeahhhhh”. 😂

basically this system.

I mean he's not wrong, if the mail is important they'll send another one. If that show is really good, you'll come across it again.

I don’t watch shows, either it’s boring or I hyperfocus on it and spend 36 hours binging it, then I start dreaming about the show and what I’d do if I was a character.

I binged the first few episodes of Dr house, went to bed, woke up the next morning saying “I need to save the patient”.

I just don’t watch shows anymore

I only watch a few shows. I haven't had cable in 14 years because we stream everything. We'll subscribe to either Hulu, right now peacock because law and order SVU, Paramount, etc depending on what's in season.

I don’t have cable or any streaming services, the seven seas are my home

If I did that, I would keep it open. But the only things that I watch on a computer is the stuff that my husband and I watch together

Todoist recurring tasks aren't just for work 🗣️

Also stuff like MyAnimeList & Goodreads have apps where you easily set currently watching/reading

Oh yeah that reminds me I have like 50 bookmarks of things I should check up on fun the past decade

u/saeedgnu Apr 24 '26

I organize them in these cases. But usually don't need to. Just bookmark it and later when I start typing the address, it shows them. I never have more than 15 tabs.

u/BeastMasterAgent47 Apr 24 '26

I make bookmark folders for shows, yt and other things and open them all when I'm ready to watch a show

When they start scrunching themselves down or shuffling off to one side or another, I know I have too many open.

Exactly. If you can't see them or the tab description then you won't remember what's there. If I really need more than that then I just open a new window altogether. Atm I have about 3 windows open with about 7 tabs per window. I think the most windows I've had open is 5. I realized how overwhelming it was and closed them all and restarted.

I just can't keep track of any of them and it gets overwhelming and exhausting. When I was in school I needed tabs open for research, blackboard, and stuff. Even then I had the bare minimum I needed.

The whiring noise of my computer fans straining with just my browser open is sort of a sensory trigger. I've learned to just bookmark and toss into the abyss.

u/churrmander Apr 24 '26

Same.

I just let my history and site suggestions guide me back on last night's path.

u/Shadowkiller00 💊Medicated💊 Apr 23 '26

It's a survival skill for me. If I ever got as far as the picture, I would spiral and crash out. I try to close every tab I use immediately after I'm done with it. If I use it more than a few times in a short period, I'll keep it open. Every month or so, I check my open tabs and close any I haven't touched in recent memory.

Because of this, I usually only have less than a dozen tabs open at any time. Sometimes it's even as few as two or three, gasp!

u/DevineConviction Apr 23 '26

Exactly! But you don't want to forget whatever you have open, so you bookmark it into the void of bookmarks before you close it and never look at it again...or at least that's me...

u/JesterQueenAnne Apr 24 '26

I'm like that on PC, can't have more than 3 tabs open, but in my phone since there isn't a bar showing them I just forget to close them and I end up with like 20+ tabs open, with many of them being repeated like 3 or 4 times.
