Should tasks match browser windows?
Not necessarily. A task is a unit of work, while a window is only a browser container. Several tasks can share a window and one task can involve pages from several windows.

How to organize browser tabs by task
Organizing tabs by website is useful for a few pages. Organizing by task is better when one piece of work spans email, docs, research, design, and tools.
A practical task-based method
Give each active outcome one task card, keep only the pages that help complete it, and separate “find one page” from “resume the full task.” This makes the system useful both during work and after a break.
- 01
Name the outcome
Use a concrete task name such as “Client delivery” or “Japan trip,” not a vague category such as “Work.”
- 02
Keep the working set together
Place email, documents, research, and tools for that outcome in the same task card.
- 03
Pause and resume deliberately
Close a finished or paused set when appropriate, then reopen the whole task instead of rebuilding it page by page.

Frequently asked questions
What if a page belongs to two tasks?
Choose the task where you will act on it next, or duplicate the reference intentionally if both tasks genuinely need it.
Can I keep manual control?
Yes. Task cards can be renamed and pages can be moved whenever the automatic result is not right.
