I agree with the post. As someone with... attention issues and a deeply cluttered space due to decision fatigue and "I'll just get to it later", having a blank slate is very useful for regaining focus. Otherwise, it's just a constant mental pressure to decide which of the unfinished tasks to focus on, and that never helps.

As one step, I've taken to just nuking my browser sessions at the start of the week. If it was really important to keep, I would've bookmarked it. If it's important, it'll come up again.

Sure, sometimes I lose of forget something useful or important. But the key part is that I'm making a choice between a 20%-100% constant loss of focus, and the occasional missed item I should've kept.

By regularly nuking context, I've also trained myself to better note down those things I do want to track (I've been bouncing between Reminders.app and Emacs Org-Mode) (I am not asking for task tracker advice)
