Ever feel like your browser is judging you? You have 20 tabs open. They are all things you “need” to do. Every time you look at them, you feel a little bit of guilt.
This is the Tab Ghost. It is work from the past that follows you into the future.
You think if you close the tab, you lose the idea. You think you are “staying on top of things.”
But you aren’t. You are just carrying a heavy bag everywhere you go. It makes you slow. It makes you tired. Your browser gets messy, and so does your head.
You don’t have to delete your ideas. You just have to put them in a safe place.
- The Sweep: Open the Kortex sidebar.
- The Collection: Group those tabs by project. Give them a name.
- The Exorcism: Close the window.
When the tabs are gone, the ghost is gone. You are left with a blank screen and a quiet mind. That is how you win the day.
“I realized my tabs were just ghosts of things I didn’t want to do yet. Kortex let me put them in a box so I could finally work in peace.” — Zaid
