    I don’t feel like you can rank all of these on the same level, they aim to solve different problems in different contexts.

    I’m not going to walk across the country, I’m going to take a train if possible, or a plane if the trains don’t exist or I’m on a really tight schedule. But I won’t take a train, a plane, or even a bus to go a couple blocks to the corner store, I’ll walk. If it’s storming, however, I might take the bus or a tram despite the short distance and the wait for it to show up.

    If I’m going eight blocks to a doctor’s appointment and it’s nice out, I might bike, unless it’s raining literal cats and dogs, because then I’ll absolutely leave super extra early and walk so I can pet each and every one of them on the way (and still be late, because priorities).

    If I’m going to visit a nearby city, I might take a train or a bus, but if I’m moving to a nearby city, I’m going to rent a moving truck and drive. It’s all contextual.











  • At least for me, I have ADHD—if it’s out of sight (i.e. another bookmark in one of the hundreds of folders I have), it ceases to exist, no matter how important or interesting it is.

    I have 6 virtual desktops for current projects, with all of the tabs (and other applications) for each project on a desktop, and with a Firefox window for each “topic” within that project. I go through and close out old windows periodically (i.e. when I need to free up desktops), saving anything I might want to refer back to with the Tab Stash plugin. Importantly, I also have the Auto-Discard Tabs plugin so they aren’t using RAM until I need them again.

    It might seem messy, but it’s what works best for my brain. I do at least try to not have more than 12 tabs per window. On rare occasions I’m even successful! 🙃
