My preferred way of doing this is using Pocket – with a simple click on the bookmarklet, you can add videos, news articles, blog posts, and pretty much anything to Pocket for future viewing and/or reading. The solution is very simple: bookmark it. So what do you do? You don’t want to miss out on the interesting and informative content others are posting, but you’ll most likely forget to look for it later. But I have to tell you – I put this theory to the test, and it worked. When I read his article, the first thing that popped into my mind was “Two tabs? Impossible!”. This rule is founded on the principle that the majority of people can remember 5-8 pieces of information without taking a toll on their cognitive capacity. Point blank: wildfire has nothing on tabs when it comes to how fast it spreads.Ĭharlie Gilkey from Productive Flourishing suggests following “The Two-Tab Rule” for maximum focus and creativity. The problem that arises with this approach is that the more tabs you have open, the more likely you are going to click on them – first you start reading one blog post, which then directs you to another blog post, which directs you to a Youtube link, and before you know it you’ve added three more tabs to the six you had before. It is so easy to scroll through your Twitter feed, come across six interesting links, and open each of them in a different tab to read later. Tabs are arguably the number one cause of distraction. So, after much trial and error, I discovered a few tips and tricks to help avoid the “Social Media Time Trap”.
