Tabs: 5-Day Plan
Tab Clearing
Too many open tabs? They slow down your browser—and your brain. Let’s declutter that digital jungle and make your browsing feel light and efficient.
Day 1: Bookmark, Don’t Hoard
Scan your open tabs.
Bookmark pages you truly need, then close the rest.
Tip: If a tab has been open for days without action, you probably don't need it anymore.
Day 2: Create a Bookmark System
Set up bookmark folders like “Work,” “Recipes,” “To Read.”
Organized bookmarks = faster browsing and fewer tabs left open out of fear you'll "lose" something.
Day 3: Try Tab Groups
Use your browser’s tab grouping feature.
Separate tabs by project or category (like "Work," "Shopping," or "Research") to reduce visual clutter.
Tab groups are more temporary than bookmarks—you can easily open, collapse, and delete them as your tasks change.
Day 4: Pin and Limit Your Tabs
Pin tabs you use daily so they stay open and easy to access without adding to visual clutter.
Move your most-used pins (like email or calendar) to the left for better faster access.
Challenge yourself: Keep no more than 5 pinned tabs at a time. Anything extra? Bookmark it or close it.
Pinned tabs take up less space and help you stay focused without tab overwhelm. They also stay in place even when you close and reopen your browser.
Day 5: Tidy Up Before Logging Off
Start the daily habit to review your open tabs before signing off.
Bookmark anything important and close everything else.
Start tomorrow with a clean slate—a focused browser and a focused mind.
