It made sense and I vowed to follow the advice given. Just leave the apps open. Easy.
Easy, I guess if you're not obsessive.
There are apps I only open once a day, so it seemed like it would be okay to close those. After all, I wouldn't be looking at them again that day. But there were all the other apps.
I didn't realize how many apps I had or how many I looked at throughout the day. The number of open apps on my iPhone started to grow and grow. And I kept seeing them as I looked for the app I wanted to use. For example, check email, but see the apps open for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, my podcast player, Audible, Fitbit, Dropbox, Amazon Music, etc.
It made me crazy. It raised my anxiety to sort through that many apps to find the one I wanted.
Finally, I reached my breaking point. I couldn't stand this. Even if it isn't the right way to do things, I have to close my apps after I'm done using them even if it means reopening them in twenty minutes. If I had to guess. I think I made it about two hours.
