Haven’t we all had that moment when we’re working on our desktop/laptop for an extended stretch of time, opening tab after tab in the process? You know how it goes: one email tab, three (often four or five) reference article tabs, one tab where you’re playing a song to work to, at least,two social media tabs, and a minimum of one random tab you impulsively clicked on. We know how that usually ends. Before you know it, your system crashes, and you are left pouting. Let’s face it: love ’em, hate ’em, we can’t do without open tabs. It’s just so easy to have everything laid out one after the other. So…what do you do?
Don’t worry, Zuperly is here to your rescue! There’s no point in avoiding multiple tabs; it’s futile. Instead, let’s learn how to manage your extra tabs:
● First things first, you need to know how many tabs you can open safely. The answer’s eight. That’s right, eight is your lucky number when it comes to open tabs.
● Why eight, you ask? Eight is the optimum number of tabs to keep open for quite a few reasons actually. For one, it’s an adequate number of tabs to have all your stuff going on no need to cut down!
● Another reason is that when you have a maximum of eight tabs open, your system is most likely to not crash. You can finish your work smoothly without any interruptions.
● Oh, but what if you do need to open more than eight tabs? Open your tabs on the basis of priority. If you are working on a particular segment of a topic, open tabs pertaining to only that specific section.
● Once you’re done working on a particular something but still working within the same window, do the unthinkable. Close those now unneeded tabs! I know it’s pretty revolutionary for us Millenials and Gen Zs to work so meticulously, but it helps your system in the long run.
● Last but not the least, make use of the quaint little bookmark feature! Say, you’ve opened an article you want to read right after you’re done working, don’t leave it on. Bookmark it and then close the tab. Trust me, that great read you stumbled upon accidentally won’t get lost. It’s safe.
Do you know why we open tabs in the first place? To sum it up shortly, we fear losing information, which is why we keep multiple tabs on, just so that we don’t lose out. Now that you know how to master this digital illusion created by the age of the internet, both you and your system can send your thanks my way. You’re welcome!
