anyone else ‘hoard’ tabs and screenshots but never actually read them again?

You’re very much not alone in this. The “tab graveyard” and endless screenshots are something I hear about constantly. For a lot of ADHD brains, saving information feels like relief in the moment. You don’t want to lose something interesting or useful, so you keep it “just in case.” That gives a quick sense of control. The problem is that reviewing and organizing those tabs requires a different skill set: prioritizing, deciding what matters now, and tolerating letting things go. That’s where it stalls. There’s also the novelty factor. Finding the article or idea is stimulating. Processing it later is quieter and less urgent, so it keeps getting postponed. Over time, the tabs become more about potential than action. Clinically, I don’t treat this as a character flaw. It’s often a mix of curiosity, fear of forgetting, and difficulty closing loops. The key isn’t building a perfect system. It’s reducing friction. What tends to work better than complex apps is constraint. One “read later” folder. A rule like “if I haven’t opened it in two weeks, it gets deleted.” A weekly ten minute clean up where the goal is deletion, not organization. Some people find that switching from saving everything to writing one or two key takeaways in a single notes page works better than keeping the source. You probably won’t become someone with zero open tabs. That’s okay. The aim is making your digital space lighter, not perfect. If this pattern feels out of control or stressful, it’s something we’d unpack in more detail. Often small structural shifts make a bigger difference than people expect.
