I also used to use Evernote a lot, but ever since they moved to their current app it became so slow that it was unusable I just moved to Apple notes with folders.

I wonder how many of these articles are paid for or somehow influenced by those with commercial real estate holdings.

People are still holding on with the hope that it’s going to rebound, after something that high profile it’s been tainted and it’s more associated now with scams. When the ”every day person” can’t find a use for it in their daily lives, there isn’t much value for it to grow beyond a specific subset of users, and that’s what FTX was trying to do, but ultimately failed at.

Ever since FTX, there’s no way that crypto is recovering in the United States. The public perception is completely ruined. It’s only a matter of time before all these services shut down.

We all want to feel like we're in control of our own lives but none of us ever are. The trade off is when you focus on one thing inevitably other things will suffer as people can't do two things at once. Best bet is to realize there are lots of tasks that need done (and no you can't plan a perfect calendar to do it all) and all you can do is find a system that takes all the incoming tasks that need to be done, prioritize them, set a due date and forget about them and only do the things that are required of you that day. I found Todoist years ago and have found great levels of success using it. Good luck!

Thank you to the team there that worked on getting this out. I'm very excited to use it!

I might not work for them, but this does affect my perception about them and potentially purchasing products from them if they treat their people like this.

Yeah, they’re on my list of brands to not buy any more.

I went to clicking around on this thing for several hours and found out that I am a descendent of Lady Godiva. Pretty awesome to see.

Wow, yeah not gonna buy that new GMC Yukon now.

Run amusk.

Completely agree.

The virtue signal of all virtue signals. We do not live in a society where an article like this will have any impact. This is merely an attempt to buy time because they're behind and want to have a chance to catch up. Work will progress whether they like it or not. Finally someone other than Ol' Musky is in the news more than him. Don't get me wrong he's doing and leading great work, but for once in more recent times it's someone else building the future instead of only him and his memes.

I used to live in a small town and now live in the suburbs. I do miss it some days but then there are days that I remember that I'd spend a good portion of my day trying to get the basics taken care of such as driving 30 miles to a Costco or ordering a car part and waiting several days for it to show up since I didn't want to pay extra for shipping. However I also remember how peaceful it was and how close the community felt. If you're wondering what it's like I'd say go for it and try something new, just bring yourself and your things but try to be open to how they do things there too. The only way you'll find out if you like it is to try it. Good luck!

Edit: Something interesting that I found along the way is that I do like small towns and I do like the city. I found that when I start to notice that feeling of "it's all too much" that I need to go do something physical instead of sitting at a computer or scrolling on my phone. So maybe that's go wash the dishes, or maybe that's go for a walk or bike ride, the key being that I need to balance my time between the digital world and physical world as much as possible to feel good about myself.

I recently unsubscribed from YouTube TV because it had an insane number of ads for watching one episode of a favorite show. I think I counted a total of 8 breaks in the show and each break has 1-5 ads. What a joke.

The problem with a lot of academics is that they think everything has to be perfect. That’s just not how the real world works. People have seen that it can be useful and that’s all it is for now it’s up to humans to decide whether it provides value or not. And yes, it will generate bullshit from time to time but like anything it’ll get better. I remember when they used to say the Internet wasn’t very useful too, look how that turned out.

Keep your essential files synced with an online service and regularly format and wipe your machine at least once a year. This is what I do.

Some people will never miss an opportunity to make themselves into a victim.

Like with most things we want to change this is a math problem. There are things you need to subtract from your life to give you more time or clarity of mind. Once your mind is clear you can then slowly start to add things that you find interesting or enjoy working on. If you find yourself still burned out, repeat the above process until you've found a balance.

So just don't use a custom domain for now?

I stopped using them when I saw they share with everyone by default. I wanted the notes only for myself so I could be more present in meetings but not at the expense of making everyone feel like they have to watch what they're saying because it's being transcribed.

This is a great resource, and the docs are always better than someone’s interpretation in some course or book.

Without a preview of what’s inside the book, it seems kind of strange to just spend $35

I’ve been a dad for about five years now, and here are my thoughts:

1 - The little things matter more than you know. Yes, spending time with your kids is very important, but also the little things that you like to do, or your partner likes to do are also very important.

2 - You’re going to get frustrated over the smallest things, learn to take a breath and let it go. Realize it’s really just a journey, and to enjoy that journey, and all the messiness that comes from it.

3 - If you and / or your partner don’t actively lead or choose what you’re doing during the day. Your kid will choose for you. It’s going to be a struggle every day, but that’s just part of the game.

4 - Raise your kid the best you know how, the world needs more good people. The world needs more people that understand how to forgive instead of holding a grudge and getting offended at everything.

5 - Make sure they have some structure in their day, and what they learn, but make sure to go spend time being a kid with them because those imagined worlds are just as real to them as this world is to you.

Enjoy, breathe, relax, forgive, listen, lead.

The TRUTH is...

- There are a lot of different systems, you need to find one that works for you.

- Nearly everyone struggles with trying to focus when there are so many things demanding our attention, prioritizing is what helps you focus on what's most important.

- You're human and there will always the temptation to switch to the new "app" because somehow a new company has figured out how to get things done. In reality, it's always a struggle.

- Reading a new article about how to focus is like reading a book of how to run a 4 minute mile. You need to get out there and struggle and find what works for you.

- AVOID the online BS that people tell you about how their day is so planned out. 4am wake up, 4:30am workout, 5am get ready, 6am study (it's mostly nonsense). Life is too unpredictable to be able to follow that 100% and if you plan your life like that you'll be let down when reality strikes and you miss something on your scheduled because a friend/family/coworker needed help with x.

How do I manage my life? One word, Todoist.

- Make projects, add things to those projects with a date that you'd like each done and give it a priority. - Look at the Today screen and do the highest priority things first.

What benefit does this system add?

- You'll always know what's most important and where to spend your attention.

No this is just Elon being Elon (seeking attention at any cost). There are always parts of companies that need people on site to do x or y job but for the most part the pandemic has forever changed how work is done. If you've got the skills that are in demand you can always quit and go work somewhere else where remote is still an option.
