@basakbuilds where's that place, mind sharing it? I've been the same and lately, I've decided to call myself a creative generalist because otherwise, it was too hard to define who I am (writing, drawing, making music, software development, etc.)

@fortelabs Open a new note in Apple Notes and dump **everything** on my mind. Then, review them along with my core values and mission statement, side-by-side. Strike the ones that are not aligned with my core values, mission and goals, prioritize the ones that do.

@satireven "When a work becomes open source, it does not belong to an individual, but belongs to the entire open source community." This is so wrong... An open source project belongs to its owner, that's it... Open source is not open ownership...

@FitFounder what's wrong with doing too much cardio? I'm right now doing only cycling for 45 minutes (every day) and getting better at it, eating normal (not too good but not as bad as before)... doing only one thing at the gym made me go there every day, which is very big for me.

Easy: Criticize what is wrong and complain... Hard: Define what is wrong, document the process that led to it, and criticize the process. The easy will spread negativity and cause alienation, the hard will open discussion and trigger a change. #NoteToSelf #programming

Personal insight discovered: The total number of paper pages I use for writing, sketching, drawing, mind mapping, journaling, note-taking, and other activities directly correlates with my mood that day. The more I write, the better I feel; and the better I feel, the more I write.

'Read later' apps never worked for me—just a bunch of forgotten links or huge list of links that I procrastinate on. I found a solution with Apple Reminders. (1/3)

Meetings without an agenda are the things that you must avoid if you want to have a productive day at all. An agenda identifies the scope and sets expectations. But why stop there? Setup an agenda for the day ahead with topics and todos, just for yourself, and review them weekly.

@jeffrey_way This is great! We had something similar but used it as a custom helper, never thought about making it a custom directive. This snippet is from a dropdown menu component where it's included on each item on a list. This makes us sure that the modals are added once only.

in my late 30s; I started to see all the invisible connections between all the books I've read and all the content I've watched/listened to. I feel like these connections were always there but becoming visible recently. It's a magical experience. I wonder if it could be earlier?

With online services and apps, no one can be sure that they will still be around in 50 years. Not even ten years. But my notebooks will be around for my daughters to be read if they are interested in doing so. There will be no obsolete data format and password issues.

I do my best to follow the scientific method. Weekends are good for reviewing observations on the experiments you did during the week and learn from them. Learn and form new hypotheses to experiment for the upcoming week. It's a process, a process which you review and reflect on.

When you're writing in your notebook, it's just you and the notebook. Nothing in the notebook tries to distract you. You only have the page, the pen, and your mind, and they are all waiting for you to create a connection between them.

@enunomaduro I (and my team) do this on most of the projects. I haven't seen any cons yet but for pros (two main ones): Instant visibility for whether a class has tests or not (leads to fast test coverage ratio increase), documentation right next to the class (tests are documentation)

When I'm aware, and in the moment, I keep reminding myself that productivity is just about getting results; the rest is only distraction. That's why I am not stuck with a single method. Whatever works in the moment to get things done is good for me.
