You’re rinsing that last dish when it comes to you out of nowhere.
The library books are due Friday!!
Then another. You need to plan the work lunch!! You never called back about the dentist!! Then another. Did anyone RSVP to that birthday party? What’s for dinner tomorrow?
By the time you turn off the faucet, you’re exhausted, and you haven’t done a single thing.
If your brain feels like it has too many tabs open, you’re not imagining it. Most of us carry a running list of half-finished thoughts all day long. If you counted, you’d probably land somewhere in the fifties.
And even when you’re not looking at them, they’re still running in the background.
Why Open Tabs Wear You Out
Every open tab takes a little bit of your energy, even the tiny ones. Especially the tiny ones. They show up when you’re trying to fall asleep, in the middle of a conversation, or the second you sit down to relax.
You don’t need to do all 52 things today. You just need to get them out of your head and give each one a place to go. That’s what closes the tab.
What you’ll need: your planner, a pen, a blank sheet of paper, and about 30 minutes.
