This idea really resonates. Like others have mentioned, there's a unique power to a physical artifact that a digital to-do list just can't replicate. I went down this exact rabbit hole a while back, trying to bridge the gap between my digital planning and physical, actionable "tickets." The setup part can be a bit of a pain, especially getting a printer reliably online and talking to it from different apps and servic…
This looks great! But it says it’s FOSS and that I can host it myself, but the link to GitHub in the docs doesn’t show any repos. Is it somewhere else?
You've put into words beautifully one of my main argument against getting a job. I have a better one though: a job leaves almost no time or energy for actual work.
For me, a stable job is key. The structure and accountability makes it hard to fail, and my (relative) lack of ambition ensures I don't over-commit or stress too much over work. It's everything else that I get lazy about! I have plenty of time, but it's too easy to do fun but unproductive activities. If something doesn't trigger my "oh no, this will lead to more responsibility" alarms, I can be very productive. For e…
>"oh no, this will lead to more responsibility" alarms
these are the bane of my life, but as an anxious and unconcientious person, I just don't know how to solve them without doing literally nothing!
I was about to be a little snarky but your comment reminded me to be kind. Thanks. I don't have a receipt printer, what helps me is an A4-sized whiteboard with marker when I feel like I'm falling behind my tasks. Also, to use todos sparingly, so they retain their effectiveness. It's actually quite underrated to forget and let go of tasks; what's important tends to stick around in your head and keep you up at night. T…
> The snark was from my personal experience that serial procrastinators ride a particular high when they change their methods, especially if they spend money for something that hopefully solves their issues. It never lasts long, we return to baseline quite fast. This is why there is tons of posts about "here's how I solved my procrastination issue" when they've only used the supposed panacea for a couple of days. Thi…
This is why I've accepted it about my process. Even if something new only boosts my productivity for a little while, a bump is better than nothing, and I often learn something new about myself in the process. So, instead of beating myself up about going whole hog into something I saw online or heard in a podcast, I just accept it and enjoy the increase in energy and motivation for the time that I'm trying it.
How many feet apart do the two sticky notes have to be before it’s 2FA? :)
In the spirit of the idea, it would be the attack vector imo. So behind locked doors, buildings, safes, etc. Eg a hacker can access my computer, even have a clipboard/keylogger on my machine, and have a difficult finding my token if it's on my phone. They need to attack my phone and my computer. Having them both in your unlocked 1Password vault means if someone walks by your computer they can access your account. A s…
You're inventing a new definition of the term 2FA. The problem it was created to solve was the ability of attackers to remotely access services using weak or compromised user passwords. This is relatively low cost to do on a mass scale whereas rooting each individual's computer to compromise their password manager is not.
