how to use our time properly. i need to improve my productivity.

You can do it by beating procrastination. Procrastinators enjoy themselves rather than working at assigned tasks.

…

there are reasons to procrastinate. sometimes you are not ready for a task and it has to ripen on the back of your had. sometimes you don't have structure and are not organised. sometimes you might be overwhelmed by too many tasks.

make a schedule and only try to get one or two things done per day. productivity is not about getting more done for the sake of it. it's about getting to what is important for you.

I am trying to learn emacs for the fun of it. The tutorial is brilliant and clear. Any tips that would help me learning more things. I know all I need is practice but if you may have used it, you may know a thing or two.

I though textlog was a gonner there. It was several hours with just a 502 response. Glad to see it's back!

I messaged stagas on reddit about it when it went down lol

I'm certainly glad it's still around, I just got here.

This is really cool site but only drawback I see is 500 character per post limit. I think this should me more like 1500. or there is a limitations type something like I can do 3-4 long post per day credit. whom can i message for this feature request?

I am certain will get back to you on such matters - creator of this platform.

On some Mastodon instances, they post whole blog posts or massive threads and I feel this type of platform is not the place for such content. But this is clearly personal taste.

for a moment I thought someone had published it 😂 but soon I hope we’ll have it on both iPhone and Android app stores. We’re in the process.

My iPhone is pouring its battery. Feels like a major upgrade of the OS is coming. Hate this crap.

I'm looking forward to . I didn't update to at all on my se 2020. however, at some point I anticipate will require or above.

Just get rid of it. Life is way better without phones. I haven't had a phone for five years.

I am curious how does that work for you. You should write a post about it and share.

…

how do you do things like online identification/tickets for services/events? From my experience in germany a lot of these are online only. Same with like the vaccination certificate back in covid times

At a philosophical level, can we have nice things?

I want this expanded and enacted by one of those guys doing Jordan Peterson impersonations :D

I think yes, but precisely NOT "at a philosophical level". You can have it only if you get your hands dirty and build it yourself. I think already proved this, just as a close example.

entropy says no

…

If speaking on a philosophical level, then first we have to ask: what’s “nice” and what’s “to have” 👀

If you consider what you have nice, you can have nice things. If your expectations to your surroundings are very very low, you will be amazed with all the nice things you get from people you meet through your day. My personal approach.

Hi all, this is my first introduction to textlog, stumbled upon it whilst browsing Fdroid. What do you like to do on here?

I like to write whatever's on my mind, or questions on the rare occasion!

Or, as I've seen, budgeting for a certain item?

caught me there (⁠＠⁠_⁠＠⁠;⁠)

Bonnie Raitt stuck in my head, who, by some definition, is a nepo baby, but well before the term was coined. I think the problem is obv not family businesses, but a shrinking pool of opportunities for those without a prebuilt network to inherit (or buy).

This is another way to describe "increasing wealth inequality".

Avui tenia una reunió llarga de moltes hores, d'aquelles en les que una escolta passiva és suficient durant la major part del temps. He aprofitat el temps per implementar una sincronització en dues direccions entre el meu calendari i el meu sistema de notes en markdown (Emacs Howm). He fet el pla amb Argon (tinc pocs tokens al dia amb la subscripció que tinc), amb feedback meu, i després Gemini Flash l'ha implementat quasi a la primera.

Today I had a long meeting of many hours, one of those where passive listening is enough for most of the time. I took advantage of the time to implement a two-way synchronization between my calendar and my markdown note system (Emacs Howm). I made the plan with Argon (I have few tokens per day with the subscription I have), with my feedback, and then Gemini Flash implemented it almost on the first try.

De retruc, ara el meu chatbot personal ja té accés a la meva agenda (no només a les meves tasques). He modificat una mica el prompt que li envia el servei de systemd que el fa anar, amb la idea que prengui més consciència d'aquest fet. També he modificat el briefing matinal que m'envia el chatbot. Aquest briefing conté una anàlisis de les tasques que tinc durant el dia. Ara tindrà en compte tasques i agenda, així m'ajudarà a prioritzar millor.

In return, my personal chatbot now has access to my schedule (not just my tasks). I have slightly modified the prompt sent to it by the systemd service that runs it, with the idea of making it more aware of this fact. I have also modified the morning briefing that the chatbot sends me. This briefing contains an analysis of the tasks I have during the day. It will now take into account tasks and schedule, thus helping me to prioritize better.

Crec que això m'ajudarà, perquè el chatbot no només és conscient de les tasques i esdeveniments que tinc, també té accés al seu context (totes les notes), inclòs el context personal (el meu diari) així té en compte el meu estat emocional. Així doncs, la idea és planificar millor els meus dies. I si no els planifico millor, almenys delegar moltes de les menudes decisions del dia a dia al chatbot per així preservar energia per a d'altres decisions.

I think this will help me, because the chatbot is not only aware of the tasks and events I have, it also has access to their context (all the notes), including the personal context (my diary) so it takes into account my emotional state. So, the idea is to plan my days better. And if I don't plan them better, at least delegate many of the small day-to-day decisions to the chatbot so that I can preserve energy for other decisions.
