How my laptop completely breaking down in the software links to myself creating a new project of 1 trying to maintain a good RAM%, keep my PC as minim

I have it in my memory

or was it @chrisstribbs
or @fooddude

one of you wrote somewhere - to improve,

I should - when turning off my PC at end of day - close on tabs (which I have habit of not doing) e.g. leaving lots of tabs up,

a voice said- I could try to put a simple habit implementation for making this happen,

'well i have tried it in past - but at same time - I get urges,
Like this X tab open about X subject - Is it worth I put it on my list of things to do (has a next action worth or not,

"which - is what causes the bad habit of leaving tabs open - because makes me think it contemplates - if I spend more time on this will give me X benefit but I'm not sure if its worthwhile right now - do you understand?

If a tab has content I actually need to keep — like research, reference material, or something tied to a current project — I use the SingleFile browser extension. It saves the entire page (text, images, layout) as one clean HTML file, and I can save it directly into the folder for that specific project. That way, I don’t have to keep the tab open — I know it’s safely archived and viewable later.

If it’s not something I need now, but I just want to check back on it occasionally (like a product page or news site), I save all open tabs to a bookmarks folder. Chrome lets you right-click on any tab and choose “Bookmark all open tabs” — super handy for temporary collections.

And if it’s neither something I need to save nor revisit? I just close it. No guilt.

This way, closing tabs at the end of the day becomes much easier — because I know valuable content is either saved properly or intentionally let go.

I never herd of it?
do you have the link?

saves it as a HTML - is that a type of text editor?

in HTML?

check on occasionally you put all in your browser bookmark- well mine is completed cluttered right now*

I use ME browser which doesn't do that,

right?

You are in habit of ' closing all tabs- and it makes your life easier ,
you know it is 'saved (filed) or let go?

or you could just book mark the page?

One of my tasks - was to make a copy of the 2 paragph (paragraph) instructions - you wrote here? but I don't feel like it?

'i was thinking of also writing to computer shop man about this topic ?

trying to maintain a good RAM%, keep my PC as minimalist as possible
My old laptop had 4 GB RAM and became so slow that it was not functional. I tried to uninstall programs and do other things to increase the speed, but nothing worked. Finally, I bought a new laptop with 16 GB RAM and it works fast and can handle many open programs at once. RAM is expensive and adds to the price of a computer, but in my opinion is well worth it. How many GB RAM are installed on your computer? I think having enough gigabytes (GB) of RAM will take care of the concern of having a good RAM%.

@Sarahsuccess

The one thing gnostic Digital Technology seems to do reliably well without fail is 'over promise' ?

right IDK what RAM mine laptop is on
I tried to uninstall programs and do other things to increase the speed, but nothing worked.
Yeah I could probably still - uninstall more things
Finally, I bought a new laptop with 16 GB RAM and it works fast and can handle many open programs at once.
question - why didn't you just visit a computer shop - and get a repair like I did for about forty pounds was it now?
You could have also - just added on more Ram separately?

it says 5.5 / of 7.7 GB - on task manager, I just check now that's how much may laptop has right now?
do you have more suggestions?
 
@Sarahsuccess

All good . . . just 'attempting' to add a little levity in light of life's technological challenges to hopefully help make them a little more bearable

Thank you very much

" one thing gnostic Digital Technology " I don't know what you meant by that term

The Gnostic movement - is something completely different related to things not to do with digital tech?

~Dear achieve,

I was just like - handwriting the 2 paragraph quote you wrote above (about tab extensions),

'and - If this yourself written here is the best type of system for dealing with tab extensions - then I woul (can try to) put habit implementation - Like similar to how I saw James Clear show in past,

If I keep this tab open,

'call this habit of dealing with tab extensions?

Tim,
Just thought...
Which browser do you use?
If I close all the tabs on one of mine, there's an option to open recent tabs! Might be easier than organising!

Yes I use ME browser - and I use that feature,

a certain amount of time - I will 'close all' and open recent tabs,

"Might be easier than organising!" - What - to open a tab screen that is completely cluttered again?

-isn't like a form of procrastination to doing the method which @achieve user wrote me above - right?

I mean that could be a form of procrastination or getting the results you want for the least amount of effort.

Overcomplicating stuff tends to make us avoid it.
