The semi-logical reason that I leave so many tabs open, is that I do need/want the tab now, or in the near future, and keeping it in a tab is sort of like a sticky note to remind myself to do it. It rarely works though and just contributes to a growing sense of anxiety as I'm constantly stared down by a huge row of "to-dos"
So bookmark it in a check back later folder to switch your anxiety to the folder, at least its safe if you back it up.
Yeah it's so weird... It's like people are consciously making the decision to only temporarily store sites they may need in temporary memory rather than just saving a bookmark
Doesn't that only work as a sticky note if you normally only have a few tabs anyway, though? I understand it in principle, the tab is visually right there, but in practice it's the same as putting all the mail in an unsorted stack that you'll totally go through later.
