Browser tabs
-
I currently have 41 tabs open in Chrome for interesting links that I want to go back to. I rarely do except to look at a link to see if I want to remove it and don't, putting it back on the "look at later" list. Sometimes (due to my stupidity, not the Chrome browser or OneTab), I lose the links. I feel sad for a few minutes then discover I don't really care. Sometimes I copy all the links to a "interesting links.txt" file. Not sure where I put the file, so I have several. But I never look at them anyways. Is there a pill I can take to correct this behavior? [edit] If you ask, here's some I'll share: [Tim Stoev](https://plus.google.com/+TimStoev) cool site of cool stuff.

Use pocket, or a similar service, you just save to pocket and tag it so it’s categorised and easier to find later.

I do the same thing. Sometimes I even go so far as to copy them into an email and send them to myself with a subject along the lines of "Interesting, read these!" And you guessed it, never do. At some point I mark the mail as read/done using Inbox. At the moment, I don't have anything interesting open, although HTC announcing the first native blockchain phone[^] makes me scratch my head. I think they are just going with the hype for publicity.

I have this exact same problem :) Firefox has a "Send Tab" feature that I have yet to try. Useful to send the link to your mobile for later reading.

Marc, with all due respect... I think you need to review: - Your goals - Your stretch goals - Your priorities - Your Focus because this might be a sign of unchallenged intelligence. Usually a sign that you could be doing more in your work/personal life. The worse case is a form of OCD about falling behind, or just wanting to know more than others (Something I would not have said about you)... Are you "Distracting" yourself with these interests? I've been known to do it. I mention this, because since I started paying attention to how I feel... I realized I was overwhelming myself in order to get me to do something else. (Much like procrastination allows you to do a WORSE job BECAUSE you didn't have the time, therefore you could ignore the quality issues). I truly mean this with all due respect, and since you reached out... God Bless... PS: To be useful, chrome menu -> Bookmarks -> Bookmark Open pages --> lets you name (I would use a date/time stamp: 20180518_Whatever and put them under a book mark folder for just these DUMPS) then you have one place where you can easily find them in the future. And possibly track how often you do this!

For me, it has been so easy to just click on the URL icon and drag and drop onto my desk top. Every few days I'll sweep them into a folder for further investigation or place them into pre-determined folders. Over the years I have collected literally Hundreds of thousands of links that I will never be able to go back and look over ... but I still do it. (I like the fact the the link gives me the full webpage title and the date I collected it) The usual intent is to go deeper into an article at a later date and time, or to keep a project idea off to the side and figure out later how I'm gonna put my spin on it. Shopping Lists!!! I have tons of folders where I'll find something ... Ohhh, I've gotta have that USB toy. I'll come back later and see if I can fit it into the budget. The link goes on the desk top, and eventually into a folder ... where it is never seen again, and the budget is re-assigned to the wife's new dress Buying a new computer should be a prime opportunity for eliminating outdated links, but they just get moved to external disks (for safe keeping no less). I now have a drawer of Flash drive disks of questionable capacities and indeterminate conditions. Somebody Stop Me please ...

I've had the tab to your comment up in the browser for about 1-1/2 hours, and finally got to it, after cruising through several others. 41 tabs is a lot, enough that all the ads could slow down the computer to a crawl. Fortunately, I discovered the speaker icon, so I know which ones are playing unwanted videos and pause them, although sometimes, I have to kill the tab. I also keep my much "for later" tabs in a file on pastebin.com, so I can view them on any computer later. So, like cancer, you just need to manage your chronic problem rather than cure it.

Use Safari on an iOS device. It will keep them all through reboots, power failures, and will even sync those tabs between devices. I seem to always have a vastly more tabs open than I will ever go back and look at again.

I noticed I had that very same behaviour with the Browser Bookmarks. I had a million of them. Organized out the ying yang. I never went through all those trying to find something. Heck maybe I had something on that or maybe I didn't. It was much faster to just Google whatever and go from there. I completely quit using the bookmarks because of that same reason.
