Sessions: Keep Conversations Separate

Sessions are how you prevent one project from bleeding into the next.

Use Sessions when you want to switch context without losing the older thread.

Why it matters

A good session system saves time because it keeps each thread organized. If you jump between topics a lot, sessions are the difference between clarity and chaos.

  • Use one session per task or project whenever possible.
  • Switch sessions instead of piling unrelated work into one long conversation.
  • Come back later when you need the original context and the original wording.

Think of it like tabs

Each session is a separate workspace tab. The title may look similar, but the context stays isolated.

Best practice

When a new task starts, ask yourself whether it belongs in this thread or deserves its own session.

Reading the screen

The session list should help you answer three questions fast: what thread am I in, what did I do here, and which one should I open next?

Tip: If the current session feels messy, do not fight it. Open a new session for the new job and keep the old one intact.
