Yes! I have a chrome extension for Gmail called inbox when ready, and it tells me how many times I've checked my inbox each day. Also after X times, it makes me wait like 10 seconds before I can check again. It's very helpful.... Even as a programmer I feel the pull to outsource my thinking to the machine when I use LLMs. It feels almost like a reflex, subconscious, as if my brain notices that it "got something" really easily and sets a very low ceiling for how hard I'm willing to work.... I've been a developer for over 20 years, so I speak with at least some authority. IMO the focus on increased speed and efficiency is one-dimensional. I actually don't know if AI coding tools make me faster, I'd guess for some projects they do, and some they don't.... Productivity Systems vs Meaningful Aligned Work
This might be a false dichotomy. But, every few months, I come across some new productivity idea and get mini obsessed by it. GTD. Anki cards. AI Assistants. As far as I can tell, I don't have a cohesive system for work or anything. I keep all my tasks in a txt file.... - joshua...

I don't think I've reduced the fragmentation. If anything, I've become increasingly aware of how fragmented my attention has become. I have a lot of interests, a lot of ideas, and usually several things I'm trying to accomplish at once....

I made the design and then used Chat to make it pretty in under 15 minutes. Much better than blank white pages.

I've created some tools for my business that I was paying a decent amount for. It has been tremendously helpful in that way.
This makes me think there's a bespoke approach customized for each person would be ideal whether it's productivity or movement practice or healing work.... - nat...
love this. This is exactly how I’ve been helpful myself and my clients gain freedom from procrastination and other self-sabotaging tendencies. We face the resistance and any accompanying sensations, emotions, discomfort… head on from a space of loving awareness.... - nat...
I’m not ready to get the Lightphone but have recently been more intentional with my phone use. I discovered that I can schedule Downtime on my iPhone and select which apps are unavailable during this time.... Object-level: I agree that the governments get a whole bunch of extra money via inflationary monetary policy. I agree people don’t seem to be aware of this, and that sucks.... - stephen...
I've also seen my AI General Assistant use fall off over time for anything creative or productive. It's mostly an information and coding copilot for me these days. I use it for sanity checks on important decisions sometimes.... - dave...
And from where I’m sitting, I can really relate! I often struggle to plant a flag for some direction or idea that I’m confident in and have expertise around....
