Oops lol, I should really look into this - 'for a friend' </p> <p>I think Google Chrome has a 'read later' function? Otherwise there's a handy keyboard shortcut to bookmark all tabs in a window (I tend to use multiple windows to 'organise' my multiple tabs). I use that at the end of a session to place all tabs in my own 'read later' folder - which I rarely do, lol... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2255270 Thu, 17 Mar 2022 10:21:15 +0000 Staysfit 2255270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Open tabs? &nbsp;LOL! &nbsp;I must be the wrong person to ask……. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252842 Tue, 22 Feb 2022 19:33:35 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2252842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Barbara Diane, you got me! Hanging onto things hoping that “someday” will drift over here sooner rather than later is exactly what leads me to keep these open! </p> <p>Since posting this, I’ve tried to be more dutiful about only keeping things open that I intend to get to for real. Right now it is limited to a bunch of job ads. I’ve also remembered what one of those early 500 that closed was—a really amazing recipe for apple strudel! I hope I can find it again. This time, I will have to make sure I save it right away. It was slightly different than I anticipated, and so very yummy! But since I haven’t remembered &amp; gone looking for any others, I wonder how much they really mattered. </p> <p>Thank you all for your comments and encouragements to keep the tab monsters at bay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252767 Tue, 22 Feb 2022 13:00:05 +0000 anne 2252767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On my phone I am pretty bad. Just deleted a few and got down to 91!<br /> I do often save links to notes when I want to keep them, it's just that sometimes I am lazy and don't. Plus I have the habit of opening up a new window every time instead of just changing the address in an existing one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252707 Mon, 21 Feb 2022 21:17:17 +0000 Barbara Diane 2252707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Often I copy the link and email it to myself. But then I rarely open the email. I get caught up in -that recipe looks interesting, I’d like to revisit the handouts from that class, I might buy X.<br /> I think I need to stop and ask myself is that a wish/dream for a life with endless time or will I actually do it/refer to it. I do tend to keep tabs open to remind me to make a decision/take an action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252662 Mon, 21 Feb 2022 13:26:08 +0000 Ginger 2252662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bookmark specific links into a folder. Most of what I keep open is things I'm keeping an eye on, like specific blogs/websites or listings, or commonly-used sites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252615 Sun, 20 Feb 2022 20:33:08 +0000 Kathie 2252615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never have more tabs open than fit across the top of my browser window (so 8-10). If I generate more than that, I close some. I find that this helps me stay focused and also finish those projects that need that "one last thing." Nodding along with Sloper- if I'm doing research, then I cut and paste into a document. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252566 Sun, 20 Feb 2022 07:07:51 +0000 Bijou 2252566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with KKards! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252515 Sun, 20 Feb 2022 00:24:55 +0000 kkards 2252515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I’m probably the wrong person to ask, i generally close all my tabs a couple of times a day. &nbsp;It drives me crazy to have a million tabs open. If is find something that’s interesting I either read it right then or I copy then link into the notes app on my phone. &nbsp;And I’ll be honest 90% of the links never get reopened and I delete later&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252495 Sat, 19 Feb 2022 21:56:08 +0000 Sloper 2252495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I've been doing research on a topic, I sometimes cut and paste the links to a Word document.&nbsp; And add a few words to describe the link.&nbsp; So I might have a Word doc of useful links for health research, or knitting resources, etc.</p> <p>Or save the articles as pdf documents.</p> <p>I know my own temptations and remind myself that "many things are interesting, and there will always be interesting things, and I don't need to save EVERYTHING."&nbsp; Not that this always works </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252489 Sat, 19 Feb 2022 21:18:02 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2252489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I pinned every page I was tempted to leave open in a tab, my phone would surely explode from all the extra Pinterest spam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252469 Sat, 19 Feb 2022 19:09:38 +0000 rachylou 2252469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are speaking to someone with 20 tabs open… and like 20,000 pins on Pinterest that I’ve never revisited… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tab-rules#post-2252446 Sat, 19 Feb 2022 16:44:25 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2252446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What rules do you have to keep the number of tabs you have open down to a full roar?</p> <p>I just deleted roughly 496 tabs. I can’t even tell you what they all were, kept meaning to sift through them, because I was close to the limit. Many were things I thought I ought to read….someday. I have started using bookmarks more often lately, but that seems so permanent. As I just learned, tabs most certainly aren’t permanent! </p> <p>Anyway, lamentations aside, the point here is that I have a brand new clean slate and get to set myself some rules so I don’t wind up with an unwieldy number of tabs open again. One rule I’m setting myself is no “someday” tabs. If I see something I want to get around to, I can only leave the tab open if I have a clear plan for when I will deal with whatever it is. No permanently opens tabs for language helps and word count; I’ll set bookmarks instead.</p> <p>What are some other smart ideas about using tabs? </p>
