How many tabs do you have open at any one time?

[Scott@KarmaContent]

I can handle about 8 or 9, as soon as I realise I've got more open than that it really stresses me out and I have to close loads down because it annoys me.

I was speaking to someone I know about this and they regularly have 40-50 open at any one time. Social media, forums etc. I'd go into meltdown with all them!

When i am unable to see the words on the tab I tend to stop

equally my iPad Air doesn't like more than a certain amount as otherwise they just sit there and spin constantly

As a standard I usually have 8-10 with my most visited sites open, there are 12 open on my phone right now

I am known to have 20-30 open for a while when I've done a Pinterest browse or done some research etc!

I can easily have 30 open on a working day, I have 3 sets of Chrome open. One on my second monitor for AQA which I tend to have a tab declutter every few hours and have been known to keep 15 tabs or so open (rather than closing them after each question). Then I have my Netmum's tab which has normally around 6-7 tabs, sometimes more. Then I have my general tab which always has FB, TMS, NM, Hootsuite, Younique, Yahoo Answers and Pinterest as a minimum.

Way too many! And not just tabs, programs too.

At the moment I've got 9 items on my tool bar. Two of those are the internet with loads of tabs open.

I read something recently about how trying to multitask like this is actually a bad thing, as however long you've stopped doing something for (to refresh another tab, to do something else, etc), it takes you twice as long to get back on track.

Usually around 10 at a time. Anymore and I end up wasting time like Emma says x
