#closeallthetabs for the last time for now.

Nominal start-of-2025 total: 665.
Right now at the end of 2025: 373.

I admit there are 42 more tabs in directories to be looked at eventually; you might not count these as closed, but I count these as dealt with for now.

The experiment of public check-ins on the progress of a resolution has mostly had the desired effect, though there were definitely times when I felt I was serving it rather than it serving me. Let's see how I fare in '26 without it.

I guess this was my Christmas present to myself, closing a load of tabs, many of which were videos I had been saving to watch later, while remaining reasonably true to myself and following through on things I'd saved.

Got back up to about 570 at one point, but back where it needed to be now. Hopefully I can be in the mood for a bigger push on Thursday to Sunday.

The end is in sight, and the timing is more reasonable tonight, but I have a card or two to write and some washing-up to do, and a car to move.

it's been a very good weekend, hence the extremely late night. It did get down to about 413 at one point... then it got back up to 526, but we're on target (exactly) and now I can go to bed.

Much less difficult, though still well over 50 YouTube videos to watch. If I can get down to under 400 by year-end then it'll have been a 40% trim over the year, which would not be bad at all.

Recent peak was 622. Still many videos to be watched. I am hopeful of getting an earlier night and a better night's sleep tonight, hopefully to set me up for a less consistently tired week.

At least 642 at the start of Saturday, about 477 by the end of Saturday and it's been a struggle to get the last ~30 down. Lots of videos to watch, and all the short ones have been taken care of.

Fairly late night as the number had got up to almost 600 before I saw to it... and briefly opened another 20 or so on the way as I dealt with the excess. Lots of videos to watch, too, but 453 < 454 so OK for now.
