Get on top of your tabs!
A quick tip to help you keep things organised
Quick reminder before we start - tomorrow, Friday 30th May, I’ll be live with another ‘Boost Your Productivity’ workshop streaming on YouTube. This month it’s a Gemini special! Get more info and add it to your calendar here.
There are two types of people in this world:
Those who have so many tabs open in their browser they can’t even see the page titles
Those who religiously close everything once they’re done - keeping just the tabs they need
Regardless of which one you are, this week’s tip will help you keep on top of your tabs in a new way!
How to group tabs in Google Chrome
Did you know you can group tabs? It’s helpful for keeping things together for different projects, research you’re doing, or even separating work and non-work browsing. Here’s how:
Hold ctrl (Windows) or cmd (Mac) on your keyboard and click each tab you’d like to put in a group
Right click one of them and choose ‘Add Tabs to New Group’
Give the group a name and choose a colour
That's it! Now you can click on the group name to expand or collapse the group and keep things just how you like them.
Bonus: Pin tabs
Whilst you’re there - why not try clicking the ‘Pin Tab’ option when you right click? Pinned tabs can’t be accidentally closed - you’ll need to right click to close it. Personally, I always keep my Gmail and Calendar tabs pinned!
See you on the livestream tomorrow and I’ll be back here next week with another tip.

I'm bi-tabular. I keep a bunch open as I work through a project, then close them when I move on to another project. I use the group thing sometimes. The pin function is a bit buggy. Great tips.
