There are many styles and personality types when working with technology.
Are you someone who composes emails but doesn’t send them right away? Do you have lots of applications running at the same time? Do you have lots of browser tabs open?
You may be a multitasker.
Apart from other reasons to rein in your multi-taking tendencies (read here for tips: Tricks That’ll Stop You from Multitasking), there is a technical reason that this style can be inefficient. That reason is: keeping multiple windows open and multiple tabs open in your browser can slow your computer down.
Your computer has only so much memory. When there are too many demands on that memory, the computer has to spend time swapping out data its hard drive. Try to close an application every time that you open an application and try to close a browser tab every time that you open one.
But if you’re multi-tasking, you may be keeping browser tabs open because you want to go back and finish something. If you find that you are consistently faced with too many tabs, there are things that can help.
For Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, use a browser tabs suspender extension. 
This will automatically close (“suspend”) those websites in your tabs, but still keep track of them in each tab. You can reload those websites when you go back to the tabs.
For Microsoft Edge, use the “Set aside your tabs” feature.
Try bookmarking the websites and then closing the browser tabs. 
Keep a bookmarks sidebar in your browser for quick access.
Try the Pocket extension.
After you install the extension and sign up for a Pocket account, you can save websites for later access. Pocket is my personal favorite for those websites that I want to get back to and then check them off as “done” (read). If I want to save a website instead for regular access, I will use a bookmark.
