Journey entry point: `reset` (Reduce the strongest default pulls and regain enough space to choose deliberately.)
Start with: `habit` (habit)

## Pattern

Open tabs should represent the current browsing context. Future material belongs in a separate read-later system.

## Practice

Close tabs that do not belong to the current task and move genuinely useful future material into a separate read-later system.

## Start small

Choose one browser window and close tabs unrelated to your current task, or save useful ones to a read-later list.

## Watch out

A read-later list can become another permanent queue; review or clear it deliberately.

## Concepts

- [zero queues](https://live.freewith.tech/concepts/zero-queues.md): A queue has a meaningful done state and can return to empty.
