Deleted many irrelevant tabs saved a year ago that are now irrelevant to me, read the ones that are still relevant. I hope to pare it down to under 10! My computer tabs are nowhere near this much, always under 10.

      The open tabs are the evaluation zone, waiting to see if they deserve to be bookmarked. How would I know if I want to bookmark them if I’ve opened them but never looked at them yet?

          If I had the discipline, organizational skill and capacity to put in that type of effort I wouldn’t have hundreds of tabs open in the first place.

          Maybe my ADHD is not medicated enough…

      I thought the exact same thing as you for the longest time! I still feel the same way when it comes to computer tabs. And then I let the thing @grue@lemmy.world said in reply to the same question above happen…

      I actually did try to use bookmarks far before this happened, back when I had never had so many tabs. I never actually touched those bookmarks. I learned from this experience have a horrible tendency to bookmark or mark for later, and never actually touch what I marked for later. Leaving as an open tab has shown me it will at least get dealt with eventually. And on my computer, leaving as an open tab gives me a mental pressure to deal with it quickly that leaving it as an open tab on my phone just does not do. Bookmarks just get neglected forever.
