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.... 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.... 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.... 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.... - 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.... - 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.... - 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.... I love this set of questions. (Btw, have you read Four Thousand Weeks? It does a similar exploration. Nothing revolutionary for you, but you'll still probably enjoy it). I think the biggest thing that got reaffirmed for me was: completion is impossible...... - tsears...
- onI am betting UpTRUST is a copy-paste AI platform like Miro or Jira... post-it culture. No lobby, no landing space with conversations...just you going along trying to find post-it culture whiteboards to comment on... just like Miro and Jira. I like a few of the topics. The platform though... HUGE zero. I have certs in Miro and Jira, and honestly, have a HUGE dislike of them.byCiCi...
- onWell sorry but I've been up all night for 3rd shift and need to catch up on some sleep! Could anyone drop a technique or idea to allow more hours out of the day for someone working 3rds and still get enough sleep before working again?by
Transcendental Meditation has shown deep Recovery effects. You can do IT for Just few minutes between Tasks - but only short term solution. It will backfire through intense Staates leading to disfunctionality after some time without real...
