tab explosion

wiki can be a devastating website to my productivity

click... hmm cool, oh what's this? click.. click... let's open 5 of these, get to them eventually. click, click... oo forgot about those, click click click click.

this is the reason i tend to have no less than 50 tabs in any session, and constantly re-open those sessions until I decide that enough is enough and clear out a lot of tabs, save that new session, and hope I can keep it to a low number of tabs. It never stays that way long. 😀

This happens for almost any wiki I visit. Stuff like normal wikipedia, memoryalpha (star trek), wikia for games, tvtropes all generate almost infinitely long browsing sessions until I stop myself, bookmark my current group of tabs, then go back to whatever I was doing before.

This is why I try to stay away from wiki's unless I NEED to get something from one...otherwise I am sucked in!

I'll do that (bookmarking current group of tabs) and then end up forgetting about them. When I finally remember it generates an even larger group. Vicious cycle.
