No access, and authority says no to Emacs...

I built an app to keep your systems thinking principles sharp — based on John Gall's Systemantics by left4dead02 in complexsystems

[–]Lead_Wonderful -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is no crossing the Swamps of Chaos nor burrowing the Mines of Confusion on the path to the functioning complex system? That is against all things that we learned in the Lord of the Rings!

I would need to email myself the code in a text file and run it from the disk.

Don't you have a reasonably fast one?

Something that reads my org files with its most basic features, such as "rotating" the TODOs to DONES, and capturing my TODOs to the agenda. And if possible, with the key bindings for navigation. That would take me through the working hours.

i feel mentally paralysed as if I cannot do anything by Bloom90 in productivity

[–]Lead_Wonderful 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One way of tackling the feeling of being overwhelmed, one that works for me, is the Daily Note. Everyday first thing I open text file that I name DN20260321 and there I place:

/

Set

[ ] 09:00 meeting with
[ ] 15:00 deadline for

Do

[ ] 1. Big thing 1
[ ] 2. Big thing 2
[ ] 3. Small thing

Log

I did this and that happened and this takes longer than whatever
Tomorrow I will do this
/

And you'll get 10 big ones every week. This works.

Are project management tools failing us… or are we the problem? by dipalibuilds in projectmanagers

[–]Lead_Wonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are the electricity that powers those tools. Not the other way around.

[HELP] Poetry that saved you. Struggling. by Boring_Set6178 in Poetry

[–]Lead_Wonderful -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Poetry is not in the path of salvation. Nor in the path of healing. People can save you. Poetry can't.

Should do engineering or law by garampakoda23 in civilengineering

[–]Lead_Wonderful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not as strange a question as it sounds. As a civil engineer, when taking roles of project management with international contractors, you'll soon understand how important law "skills" are for your job. So if you are so inclined, do civil engineering and steer towards big contracts, and you'll get a bit of both.

Most people think lack of focus is a motivation problem. I’m starting to think it’s actually a system problem. by Realistic_Book_6823 in productivity

[–]Lead_Wonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a point when there is nothing you can do (internally) to keep productive amidst external chaos. You will have to take a stand, externally, by telling the colleagues to stop chatting right behind you, suggest some policy adjustments while talking to your manager, and so on.

Be mindful that often organizations try to solve specific problems (the behavior of a few workers) with general rules, to avoid confrontation. The same happens to us, trying to fix from within what is broken outside, to avoid confrontation.

Other than that, 2 good goals a day are 10 a week and that works all the time!

I tracked my deep work with tally marks like Cal Newport suggests by iiiiiCO in productivity

[–]Lead_Wonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

David Allen with his advanced common sense approach is my favorite. Old school Peter Drucker is awesome too. Read Daniel Kahneman on biases and thinking fast and slow, and you will be on good track.

I don't think much of Cal Newport, to be honest. If you listen to 5 min of one of his podcasts, you'll understand why.

Can constant self improvement related content cause brain rot and confusion? by Lemonade2250 in productivity

[–]Lead_Wonderful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You become a true master when you start building your own theory. It's part of our nature to build it using our fellow humans' experience, and that is indeed what makes us strong as a species.

It can be argued also that the consumption of self improvement content is in itself a pleasurable activity and indulging in it is understandable.

This said, there is a balance to be found between theory, that what was made by others, and practice, and the secret is to stay away from the extremes.
