Hmmm. While I love the sentiment behind this post and lots of the tips, I feel you're unfairly demonising tabbed browsing. Don't avoid it, just use it well and don't be afraid to immediately close irrelevant tabs.

I say this because when extracting information and inspiration from the internet I want to do it fast, concentrate and use all the tools available to organize my path. I want to read, see and think and do as much as possible while I'm doing it and then stop. Tabs and RSS feeds are essential to this.

This means I get enough sleep and spend a good eight hours wholeheartedly working in my garden every weekend, which is what I personally need to feel relaxed and connected.

(Full disclosure: I'm a former professional researcher with eye strain problems - but I get a lot more out of the internet now time is limited than when I used to noodle about on it for hours)
