You'll never find creative flow if you keep 10,000 tabs open in your brain 🧠

Here are 3 easy steps to build a trusted tab closing system for your brain so you can find presence and flow every day
🧵👇

Just like tabs on a computer, open tabs in our brain take up space in our working memory and affect performance.

They slow us down, break our flow and lead to overwhelm

The only way to close these tabs is to build a system our brain will trust. Here's how 👇

Do A Brain Dump 🧠
All those open tabs are taking up the limited space you have in your working memory. You want this space to find flow, not keep tabs open.

Step 1: Get them out of your head and down on paper (or screen)

Use Tags to find things later 🏷
Writing things down is a start, but your brain needs to know you'll be able to find them later when you need

Step 2: Use symbols, tags, highlighters, or selectors to quick capture common things for later like tasks, ideas & notes

Build A Magic Inbox 📥
Now we're starting to close some tabs! Now we want to work some magic and find these tabs again.

Step 3: Build searches & views to find your tagged items again.

Find Your Flow 🏄‍♀️
Well done! You just built a trusted system for your brain 🙌

With all those tabs closed down, it's time to get in the flow and find presence in the moment
