I read the book title at 1:59 and I went to find it and find another interesting books about the topic and it went on and on...that's my mind, you just described it perfectly

[hybby]

That was an excellent video. Well worth 4:13 of my single-tasking time. I completely agree with what was stated in here. A+

it took everything in my body to not open another tab while listening to this

[Homework]

I actually gave up opening multiple tabs for Lent one year....

[KnocksX]

Good points made in the video... but I wouldn't have discovered The Atlantic channel and seen this video had I not been hopping from tab to tab while trying to do something else.

This is so completely true!! Thank you for putting this into words

[DestinyMykyta]

The fact that this is 9 years old...but so relevant. I would say its even MORE relevant.

OMG I love you, James Hamblin. I am proud to say that I've gone down a rabbit hole of tabs just google imaging you. #TabfulTuesday

I started using webmail at work which makes it pretty impossible to have 2 e-mails going at once (read: a number of half-written e-mails abandoned behind myriad windows) and it's improved my productivity no end.

I like how 'multi-tab' is now called the traditional way. I remember when single window was the traditional way

[fahadsaleem]

You are truly a life savor for me through this video. Keep it up!

[MeghanCreative]

James Hamblin you are awesome and I love this video.

I have more than 100 tabs open. Some sort of disorder... I ll take more than a week to sort it out! Once I had some 600 tabs open! This is the sober me.

The irony of getting distracted while watching this very video

[michelines.claveau]

Didn't miss the fact that James was reading the ADHD book ‘Fast Minds: How to thrive if you have ADHD’ in the shower. Lol! :)

Six people have small children...137 people are the children being asked to assist the six other people.
