Tabs are a great way to keep many browser windows open at once. The Atlantic recommends going tabless one day a week to stay focused.
Tabs in a browser allow us to think we are multi-tasking. We're often just distracting ourselves. We've talked about avoiding browser tabs to stay focused before, but for many of us it's hard to go cold turkey. Tabs aren't evil and some will disagree with the idea of too many tabs, but tabs allow us to stray from our primary task.
Save up tasks for Thursdays that need intense focus. Tabless Thursday can be your day to intensely single-task and avoid multiple tabs in your browser. One tab, one task, one day a week. The other six days you can tab to your heart's delight.
