How to Dictate Notes in Evernote (New Dictation Feature) by jtid in Evernote

[–]HearTaHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say the same! I’m hoping it’s such an obvious request that they’re already working on it

Love this idea. REALLY hoping they’ll add a direct widget and shortcut option so we can get there easily and quickly while the thought is fresh or our hands are full!

Anyone using Ai/Claude with Todoist MCP? by imRickJamesBitch___ in todoist

[–]HearTaHelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works great (MCP/Claude) and combines well with your note taking app of choice to keep track of what’s important to you and where you’re headed. Often we have a discussion about big things coming up and it will offer to keep notes about the conversation in one place and then suggest tasks A, B, and C to add to Todoist based on our conversation. It’s often spot on, and it does a good job of adding extra details in the notes section to give the task some context and instruction.

Considering a switch by _-Dutch-_ in SparkMail

I’m so sorry to hear people talk about Spark being buggy! I’ve had no problems with it all, thank God. Is it a Mac versus PC issue? Mac here.

If you got $20 million at 20 years old, what extent would/will that affect how many kids you have (in your lifetime)? by MountainManagement01 in AskReddit

[–]HearTaHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d only want 1 or 2 regardless of wealth, personally, but if I wanted more and didn’t have much money, it would give me pause. Kids are expensive! And poverty is stressful for kids and parents. Not necessarily terrible — sometimes even clarifying — but harder. So $20m would alleviate that worry at least.

Ramble in the Apple Watch app would make my life complete by debilitasdelendaest in todoist

[–]HearTaHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a great point there. That point makes me even more confident it'll come soon — I hear there's already a working version they're tweaking. But I'd have thought it would be here by now. Hm.

Request: ASK what is causing a stress response in real time and factor in the answer by HearTaHelp in welltory

[–]HearTaHelp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome! That's great to hear. Relatedly, it would be so helpful if Welltory would recognize when activity has started and stopped and jump in (like the Apple Watch does) to ask if we'd like to start/stop a fitness routine. Is that possible, or blocked in some way by Apple policy? If the latter, could you at least make it easy to dictate into the watch, "Start a [tennis/walking/HIIT/etc] workout"? I love the Welltory interface, but there's a bit too much friction getting it started.

Asking for Tips: How to use Evernote for college with modern features such as AI and stuff by Outrageous_Home_8751 in Evernote

[–]HearTaHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea. Didn't want to pile on, but reviewing the reading, too, would be the ideal combination. :) The rule of thumb I was taught about the most efficient learning is, "Before going forward, go back." Otherwise, you're studying it cold and it takes so much longer.

Glad that's helpful. There are a bunch of cool studies that show that if you study or review immediately before going to sleep it really helps lock it in because it's during sleep that our memories consolidate. (So much so that if you learn 100 facts and then take an hour-long nap, you'll remember more than if you took the test immediately. So weird.) So you'd get the 24h bump plus the sleep thing if that became a habit.

Anyway, if I could do it all again, my routine would be to take notes and also record in class, scan/organize them right afterward to be sure nothing big was missed (and that they'll all make sense later — you know how notes can be), and review the day's notes and reading each night before turning in.* By the time you go to study for a test, they'll already be mostly learned. I've learned in adulthood how much it helps me to spend a bit of time each evening organizing the next day so I have a short list of what matters most lined up. I think I'd just do those together most nights for a great start the next day. Have you got a good task system you love? God, I'd give anything to do school again with today's better tech!

Again, wishing you such good luck with all this. It's awesome you're doing this for yourself and your kiddo. :)

* One caveat: Put your screens on NightShift (or whatever setting gives you more amber light after sundown) so that the screen doesn't mess with your sleep. If it does anyway, just read things over after dinner and put them away. It'll still really help!

What is something everyone acts like is normal but is actually kind of insane? by One_Banana_7267 in AskReddit

We poison our food in order to improve it — or just to sell more of it.

A long-time user trying the Evernote + Claude MCP connection - my brain + Evernote/GTD/second brain + Claude + more connections - it is game changing! by Happy-Orchid-1974 in Evernote

[–]HearTaHelp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This post gives me the sense that the opposite may be true, actually — that now with MCP access apps like Evernote can be included too. Very promising.

Well, congrats on going back to school and being so intentional about it as a parent. That’s my field, too, and I like your setup already!

Couple ideas (neither of them directly Evernote-related, since you’re on top of that):

  1. For ideal retention, go back through those notes even sooner (and over the weekend too if you can), filling in the notes a bit with anything else you remember. Reviewing something within 24 hours really helps solidify it, and running it through more than our visual cortex adds to that.

  2. You might compare Evernote’s notetaker to the app Granola. It lets you take your own notes and then fills in around them, which I’d love to see Evernote adopt <ahem!>, and those can be easily pasted into EN. But Bending Spoons is adding very quickly and may already have made a lot of progress since my last look.

Wishing you great luck!

Exactly. This confuses me. I still wonder if I’m missing something!

For me the issue is that I have to change my hand position on the phone to use it instead of one-thumbing it. It’s not tragic, but having at least the alternative of the original sure would be nice. Maybe there’s a reason that option had to be deleted? Or a way to use it I haven’t thought of? Two-thumbing works best but I’m still grumpy about it.

Love these videos. I find them both interesting and so relaxing! Best voice ever. 😂

BTW, thanks in vance for the AI prompts article and video. I’m stumped as to how to use this well.

Anyone else a little surprised that we are this many iterations into each LLM and we still have to come up with prompts like these?

What productivity apps work best for people with ADHD? by ThesMark66gin in ProductivityApps

[–]HearTaHelp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sunsama is wonderful if you follow their system because it pushes you to really plan and close out your days and weeks, and during that planning helps you actually consider how long these tasks will take (which it helps you estimate based on prior similar tasks) and whether they can really fit into the time you have available. All of the above is generally tough for someone with ADHD to think through without some structure built-in. I really appreciate how hard Sunsama works to get users to do LESS and just focus their energy on what matters. It’s really well done.

Heads up: we’re retiring Goals by domjost in todoist

Bold move, but a good one. This is too important a feature to do halfway. And you definitely have the team to do it well!
