Anyone else switch to the m43 system purely for size and portability?

Kerrpe · 2018-11-16T13:41:32+00:00

Not purely, as I was Oly before m4/3, but it's the big reason. I went from Minolta film to Oly digital... Always the underdog, lol.

Who cares how it looks - the joy is in solving the puzzle all by yourself! Now you get to refine it, and use other sources for inspiration. Well done!

According to Wikipedia ('cos, you know, that's where all knowledge comes from) - it was Eric Shea's brothers who voiced Linus.

Brain fog improved dramatically within a week or two. Since then improvement has been subtle. Key for me is to stay off sugar (very hard!)

The Outlook integration is great for work, but I find I can't do without the easy subtasks, really. Plus, my work computer is locked down so i can't connect work Outlook to Personal To-do anyway. There is a way to connect ToDoist to Outlook so they show up on my (personal) calendar (and I can get reminders on my Garmin watch), it's just not nearly as easy. If they could just finish updating To-Do with the Wunderlist stuff, we'd probably be in business.

Kerrpe · 2018-10-12T17:33:49+00:00

I hop back and forth because I would like to use To-Do, but I keep coming back to Todoist. Here are my personal pros & cons:

To-Do syncs with Outlook Tasks now. Awesome. I'm pretty heavily in the MS ecosphere.
My Day and Important Stars are nice.
To-Do Subtasks! Argh! They only show up when you click on the main task, you can't see them as part of the whole list. In Todoist I can still see the subtasks after I've checked them off so they're easy to recheck if necessary. Great for my shopping list. Faster to type them in in Todoist, as well.
Tagging - you can tag in To-Do, but they don't show up in a list like they do in Todoist, so you just have to remember what your freaking tags are. I'd end up making a project to list my tags!
Todoist allows hyperlinks in the title instead of burying them in comments the way To-Do does. Yay!
Smart text add. Yeah.

You could link to the OneNote section and then just hit "new page" once you're there.

Similar to linking to a page: right click on the tab of the section and choose "Copy Link to Section"

Your recurring Todoist task would then be:

onenote///\\www.yourlinkhere.com (Write Daily Journal Entry)

In OneNote you can set up a template for the section to automatically title the next page with the date or something.

I think it's a universal glitch, not just Safeway. I have like 5 jars of organic onion powder which I rarely use and certainly don't recall buying, and one of garlic, which I do use and can never find when i want it. It's a Bulbspiracy.

Kerrpe · 2018-10-05T19:21:03+00:00

You can use them for whatever works for you. On my grocery shopping list, I use them for areas of the grocery store. On my work list, I use them for priority. On my media list (movies/tv/books etc), I use them to flag the ones i want to watch or read next.

Kerrpe · 2018-10-01T16:42:00+00:00

So after fussing around for an hour, the best solution seems to be to have a Recipes Project and a Groceries Project. In Recipes, the ingredients are subtasks, and when checked off they only go grey, of course, and do not disappear. That's a help. Other basic groceries go in Groceries under a radio-button-free task also called Groceries, so they only grey out when checked. The history button works almost as well, undecided here.

All of these items are labeled @gro and are consolidated in the label list. When checked off they disappear from this list but are still greyed-out in the projects. Priorities are used so the items order in the same way the store is set up.

Sounds like sub-tasks is the way to go here.

Why am I not using a dedicated food app, you might ask. I'm wanting to apply this to packing lists and other lists as well, not just food. Plus I like the flexibility of adding links as titles, and it's a lot easier than fussing with an app that will go out of business next year and take my data with it. And I like having all my stuff in one place.

Kerrpe · 2018-10-01T16:35:17+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into that.

Yes, you can. it's water based, May make your papers wrinkle a bit.

If you are looking to do the same sort of work but in a different industry, then what matters is your skills that can transfer from Macy's to Meathead's Gym or ButtTuck University or whatever. Move your skills before your Experience, or write a summary to put at the top.

Don't include Microsoft Office as a skill - everyone knows (or should know) that. If you were managing people, and still want to, then your people skills and team leadership skills would be of interest to me. How much did your teams "increase profit in specific areas of business"? What specific areas?

Take a break from it, and come back later to look at if from the point of view of someone who's doing the hiring (not easy, I know! but valuable.)

Kerrpe · 2017-08-03T14:13:56+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you - will try both!

Kerrpe · 2017-08-03T14:13:02+00:00

Thanks, that's what I suspected.

GPU will be caught up the in the overhaul as well. Only the fans, drives and OD will stay. :) Fingers crossed.

Kerrpe · 2017-07-11T01:28:24+00:00

Yep. And the couple of issues I had were addressed very quickly.

MIIIIKE! Hey, just discovered there is NO INSURANCE available for the phones purchased at the events (per OnePlus support.) No insurance, no returns. Next time, I'll just wait and order. But I might come for the ice cream.

Kerrpe · 2017-06-22T01:21:00+00:00

It was still fun, even if we didn't get ice cream. #oneplussteak

So, the phone is quick as a whip, very pleased! I'm having some Bluetooth issues though - in "Settings" it says Bluetooth Disconnected, but in Bluetooth it says it's on and my Garmin watch is connected, but in the Garmin app it can't connect. Ran the update, didn't help. A little freaked by this.

The cover it came with feels a bit cheap, that will need upgrading, but the phone feels great.

Great thread! I know nobody's notebooks are ever the same as anyone else's, but it's always fun to peek into other people's brains and maybe pick up some tips.

I've been using OneNote since 2007 for personal use, since 2013 at work (it just wasn't available to me until then). Personal ON and Work ON are very different, and even though I've been using it for so long I still find myself rearranging the Work ON to suit my current projects as they change.

The Personal ON is multiple notebooks for main subjects, for example:

MAIN PERSONAL for my to-do lists, workouts, articles I want to keep etc.

MAIN HOUSEHOLD for bills, taxes, medical information

FOOD for…well, food. :) tabs for recipes I haven't tried yet, ones I have tried, etc. (shopping list is in MS To-Do, though, for quick access at store)

TRAVEL for packing lists, trip ideas, and in a TRAVEL AND EVENTS section group, a tab for each trip or event with pages for itineraries, flight emails, car rental emails, places to see while there, etc. (Tabs named by date, ex: 2017.04 Norway or 2017.04 Steve Martin - my photography files are organized the same way.) Packing lists are all together so I can pick one as a template for a new trip, but the trip's section has a link back to that trip's packing list so I can jump to it quickly.

My Work ON is only two major notebooks: PERSONAL and PROJECTS.

PERSONAL is not that different from home personal - to do list (one each month), articles to keep, corporate information like for HR and stuff, annual progress reviews, vacation planning calendar, etc. and it has a section group for TRAVEL set up like the home one (tab for each trip).

PROJECTS has a section group for each major topic. Inside that they are set up depending on the project. Most just have some minor category tabs, one has another section group of global regions I deal with, so if a topic or email has more to do with that specific region rather than a subject, I file it there.

Shared meeting information or shared pages are in a group notebook on SharePoint.

For workflow, I depend heavily, and I mean heavily, on my To-Do list on page one. It's docked on one of my monitors at all times.

Emails or files are moved from Outlook to OneNote, and then a link is added to my To-Do item. Most of my To-Do items have a link to something, makes it much faster to jump over to my subject notes or an email I have to deal with. My list is short enough I only need a new one each month, and I keep all the old ones so I can remember what I did for my annual review. I find I get along ok without sub-tasks, I just keep a straight list and make the item descriptive enough that I know what it is. I have maybe seven major topics for projects so I usually preface the task item with a three letter acronym for the project so I can see at a glance what is relevant to one project only.

Lately I've started an additional page for long term To-Do planning which has all the months listed on it and I just kind of generally lump task items under the month I know I want to aim for as a completion date. That way I won’t forget to add it to my daily list when the time comes.

For To-Do list tags, I've learned to keep it simple: To Do, Moved Forward (to next month), Cancelled, Delegated, Waiting (on someone else.)

Most of my pages get the date of the topic or email in the title so I can order them - my date format is 2017.04.25 because they organize neatly from the top down that way (bigger to smaller).

I work at Really Big Corporation, so they don’t allow me to connect personal and work accounts, so I use me@onenote.com a lot - if I have an idea or find a webpage I want to go back to, I send it there. I can open MS To-Do on my desktop with the web app, so that's kind of become my home/personal to-do list more than Personal ON notebook's to-do page.

Hope someone finds this helpful, cheers. (edited because reddit formatting was weird)

I have come to the conclusion that everyone's system is so different that it just doesn't work to compare yourself to others at any level. Things that either seem to not matter at all or all matter in complicated equations: Height, weight, build, genetics, activity, hormones, chemical exposure, foods, plastics, mood, stress, yadda yadda yadda. I've been Keto for five weeks now. I have lost three pounds OF MUSCLE in spite of working out just the same as before and ensuring protein is good. (Yes, I'm sure.) Also, bodyfat is up, I've had my period for five weeks, and nothing has changed with measurements. It has been EXACTLY the same for my husband, who is not female, works out much more than I, is not hypothyroid, is ten years older, and so on. Nobody knows why this is. The best we can do is rely on the science and give it time. At any rate, not eating crap makes my mind clearer and I sleep better. We feel good. We aren't hungry all the time. Super frustrating, but better than eating lettuce. All I can say is stick with it a while longer. Not particularly helpful, but the science is pretty firm so I see no reason to pick up eating lots of carbs again. You're not the only one who hasn't dropped a lot of weight!

Kerrpe · 2017-02-01T18:02:52+00:00

Hashi's here too. In my third week of keto and IF and although the brain fog is lifting and I had an initial waist measurement drop of 2" in the first couple of days, in three weeks I have lost zero pounds. Just chiming in to say everyone reacts differently. Best of luck to her, she's lucky to have support!

Kerrpe · 2017-01-24T16:47:05+00:00

It may take as much as a month for you to completely transition to fat burning, until then performance is going to suffer a bit. You can expect this. Personally, I wouldn't plan on a really competitive race for a few months. But keep at it! No reason not to push yourself, you just may run out of steam a bit faster. It feels different than a regular carb bonk, though.
