A good first step is to pause before opening another tab. Ask what the new page is for. If it is only needed for a few seconds, finish that task and close it right away. If it needs to be saved, move it into a note or bookmark folder instead of leaving it open.

It also helps to group tabs by purpose. Keep one window for active work, one for reading, and one for anything that needs a later decision. When everything is mixed together, it becomes harder to remember why each page was opened.

At the end of the day, spend two minutes closing anything that no longer has a clear purpose. Save only the pages you truly need to revisit. This small habit keeps your browser easier to use and makes the next session feel much lighter.
