Orion 1.0 8 months ago

I love Orion on iOS especially because the ability to use desktop extensions in it (some may not work)

I fully agree with you. Although office interactions play a big part in socialization, I think most of the uneasiness I feel right now is due to the fact that I can't even socialize outside of work, or with non-coworkers. Not caused by remote work per se.

I like your rule based approach. I think I'll try it for myself.

My main "problem" with organization methods, is that I feel they get in the way of my creation process.

If i'm creating a PPT and I need an icon pack I don't want to think to where should I donwload it, if the project as a folder, where to export it or whatever... Just give me the icons, right now Im creating a presentation, I could care less about how my files are structured.

The final presentation will end up on google drive, or somwhere else "safe".

Your approach allows me to do this, and keep everything organized at the same time.

It's like "saving things" on my physical desk - a bad habit I tell myself not to do, but still find myself doing. (chucks a few things that have been on my desk).

But on a physical desk I don't have options to sort, search etc. I do on the mac. I use the desktop as place for non-critical files everytime (like a screenshot that I have to attach to an email, or to export a image without background that I am going to use on a ppt). Basically just as a temp folder.

It is absolutly cluttered, but the ability to drop a temporary file there without thinking of structure or what it relates to trumps the clutter it creates.

Besides, with the addition of Stacks (https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT209101) it makes everything more manageable.
