Why people with 50 chrome tabs opened are never to be trusted. The science of open loops, decision paralysis, and why 60-year-old virgins on yachts are still miserable.
Chrome tabs costs RAM. The more tabs you kept open, the more energy it takes to keep the PC running.
Unfinished tasks, no matter how small, drain mental energy you could be focusing elsewhere.
The debt you haven't paid yet. The decision still unmade. That attractive person's number you haven't asked for. The article not published. The relationship you haven't ended. The message not sent.
Open tabs need energy to survive. But closing them releases energy back into the system.
Do not procrastinate.
We remember incomplete tasks better than completed ones, and this incompletion causes mental tension until the task is closed.
The worse part is that the more you procrastinate, the more the history of procrastination nags back at you.
Close the tab and unlock the RAM. Imagine where you can redirect this reclaimed RAM and enjoying life instead of worrying, being more present, working harder, being happier.
Putting things off doesn't protect you. It amplifies your stress.
Why? Because its better to just get it over with. Prolonged uncertainty hurts more than immediate discomfort.
