Absolutely; setting tab cycle by most recent is essential when you go > 100.
Back from the days when people switched browsers several times in 5 years, I still use a .txt file. Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, Firefox ... there was a time of rapid improvement by switching about 27 - 20 years ago.
A mix of the two would be useful: Close the oldest (by last visit) tab when there are more than 12, but only when it is at least 2 hours hold. That way, it doesn't interrupt a research frenzy, such as when I make a major shopping decision. That's the only time I ever regret my # tab limit.
For me, it works as long as there is a written list to check off from the night before. No list - no action.
As long as there is a list, I can use every trick: Really don't feel like it? Set a timer to do just the first item. Allow to pick the easiest, and just do one for now.
Like I said earlier: It is with great grievance that I had to put an end to this and install a plugin that closes the oldest one when I get over 15 (Limit Tabs). (Actually, that is only great, unless I’m in a shopping decision frenzy and actually need this.)
lol, this advice is excellent, but the sheer number of options is completely overwhelming with ADHD.
This kept me from deciding for one option for a long time. I settled with a hot air fryer eventually, but it doesn't really matter.
What helped me a lot to take the pressure off is engineered staple food: Something that's always ready, and much more healthy than most takeout. This is Food, Huel, all good. With 0 appetite on meds, a This is Food drink is perfect.
With that fallback in place, the stress of "must cook" is gone so I can actually cook :-)
I used to be sceptical about these things long before the word "degoogle" was used, but I realised that in my case, it's worth the loss of privacy. So I put everything into google calendar, and I use the assistant with speech-to-text to input every event, appointment and timespan as soon as I get it for the first time.
A classical wall calendar will never work for people like us. Best we can do is IMAGINE how we'll just put everything in it.
Still somehow mess up hilariously, but less often now.

I'm exactly like that, and I find it so strange. Usually, the brain adepts to a new situation, and that isn't exactly new.
I plan everything as if I did not have ADD, and have done so even before I was diagnosed and had meds.
We don't have the right to just quit the system entirely, and that's a problem. That way, I pay the 1100 monthly premium and still nearly everything out of pocket.
The German system is far superior when you need immediate life-saving treatment AND are very very poor. Appendicitis, arm chopped off, cancer - they'll save you, and it costs nothing.
Something that will probably kill you in the next 8 years, or a curable condition like depression that makes you unable to work for years? No chance for treatment with coverage, but got to keep paying the premium anyway. Well, if unable to work, it's free, but you will not get your depression treated anytime soon.
Germany.
Well, the health system is great, as long as you don't get sick. Or need life-saving emergency care immediately.
But not for many things in between.
Example ADHD: The GP can write a referral to get diagnosed, for free, but no psychiatrist or psychological therapist (the only ones allowed to do that) will take you. So best bet is to pay out of pocket in a practice that does it over video and is recognised in Germany. Can be done under 1k EUR that way, at least (~ 2k EUR with a private, out-of-network therapist). Recurring prescription and private doctor is about EUR 150 per month; a therapy session costs EUR 200. It is absolutely realistic to get the prescriptions and meds covered by a doctor in the insurance network, though. Therapy through insurance is also a possibility if it's not urgent and you don't ACTUALLY have ADHD or depression so you can do many phone calls, like 6 - 12 months, and you don't care who treats you.
Glasses are also not covered, e. g. workplace glasses > EUR 500 out of pocket. But, randomly, a write-off. Treatment by a homeopathic practitioner - covered, just for the lulz.
But yes, about to die within 48 hours? As long as you can convince them that this is the case (got to self-diagnose and be a persistent ass if it's not obvious), you'll get help, it might be at a very decent level even compared to many other 1st world countries, and it'll be completely covered by insurance.
Also, the monthly premium is EUR 1100 (includes nursing care insurance; there isn't much nursing happening either way though). Employer pays half, freelancers pay full. It's not legal to quit and be "uninsured". Also, you can have it lowered if you can prove that you make under 66k per year (to 19 % of income).
Oh, and only the insurance premium is a tax write-off. What you have to pay out of pocket (talking about treatment that your GP deemed essential, not dental bleeching) is paid for by your net income.
Some other random things also work out within a month and are covered, such as a quick eye checkup, dental checkup / very basic dental filling (pay out of pocket for most filling materials, but not the time), anything a GP or family doctor can do in 10 minutes.
At least in Firefox, when it comes to ordering in terms of ctrl+tab cycle order, it's just a setting now; used to need an add-on.
