Tech tip: consolidate a batch of browser tabs into one link

Quick productivity tools

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of little ways to simplify certain parts of your professional life. These seemingly inconsequential ways to consolidate and streamline what you do every day can ultimately save you time and increase productivity.

If you’re like most modern professionals, you have multiple tabs and windows open as you go about your day. Whether you’re researching a new way to promote your business and reach your target market or you’d like to save what you’re working on so you can get right to it tomorrow, there are two tools that will get you to where you want to be.

Tab Packager – This easy-to-use Chrome extension allows you to take all your open tabs in your browser and create one link that encompasses all those tabs. Whether you’re sending this link to a coworker or you’re saving it for yourself, all you have to do is click on the link and it opens up all the tabs at once. This makes it easy to send your tabs through social networking platforms that pride themselves on brevity. If you’re using Tab Packager for personal use, you’ll never have to bookmark all of your tabs again. It can all be one easy link away from starting right where you left off the day before.

BridgeURL – This tool isn’t as convenient as Tab Packager, as you have to manually list the links you want to be combined into one URL. BridgeURL works by pasting one link per line within the URL box and it will generate a useable link for you to use.

Packaging all your tabs and favorite pages into one workable URL will make your life that much simpler. These two tools will cut the unnecessary extras in your day so you can get right down to business. There’s no need to take the long way when such viable shortcuts exist.
