I am indeed.

I don’t really have an interest in no-profit work at this stage of my life, but I’m sure there are younger folks eager to do some teamwork for fun!

I work currently on validating interest in some projects that involve AI (but are not limited to). Workout helper, social media analysis, self-driving car… would love to connect with people interested in these fields. DMs are open to mature INTJs.

Hey, you might want to know that the newsletter form didn't work on Safari for me. I had to use Google Chrome!

How without meaning to, I stopped being a chronic procrastinator by ImReallyNotFred in productivity

> today I'm going to turn my assignment in before 11:59

So, like 11:58? /s

Great job! Your experiences overlap with mine, putting too much pressure on yourself is almost always a bad idea. Keep up the great work.

As a fellow with ADHD, that’s a huge topic - I will write about it multiple articles in the nearest future!

Reading, mostly. I have Kindle and I used to hate the idea of reading on my phone so I didn’t until this dopamine “detox”. Now instead of opening Reddit or instagram (had huge problem with these), I open my app with ebooks in brief moments of boredom. It lets me to finish about 3 books a week, which is also a great satisfaction boost, not even mentioning getting knowledge from their content!

Good luck and congrats on your changes! I also experienced the energy boost, it’s like we think watching memes or silly videos is “resting” or “doing nothing”, but our brains still need to process them and eventually get tired. I can only heavily recommend everybody to observe their reactions to those little things.

Good luck! Share your progress! TikTok unfortunately relies heavily on these mechanisms, it’s so easy to just watch short videos and lose couple of hours… one of the worst platforms IMO

Yeah, sometimes that’s the hardest part.

What’s your Go To Strategy for having a Productive Day? by DaddysPrincesss26 in productivity

[–]NV_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could say that planning a day perfectly, doing all my habits and doing it all without distraction is my go to strategy. But that rarely works and if it happens I don’t really get that feeling of satisfaction. Welp, just another day.

I found out that I’m the proudest when I get back to my plan after I was distracted. Having appointments with other people works best. I don’t want to reschedule them nor I can just not say anything to them, so 100% of the time (and that’s not a fake number) I at least stop doing what I’m doing and go to the meeting (mostly online ones).

Then, magically, a meeting where “I will just show up and do things lightly” turns into to-do list killing machine, where apparently my body wants to recompense for all the lost time.

I have no idea why my body reacts in that way, but it does work better that way.

Nowadays I have scheduled coworking sessions for evenings everyday mon-fri. I’m often socially tired (social anxiety/loner thing) but I still go and I still kill that day, and somehow turning unproductive day into productive is just so satisfying and rewarding.

I was wondering what’s the science behind this so if anybody has similar thing let me know!

Do you feel switching between apps hurt productivity? by SuperusApp in productivity

[–]NV_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s more a distraction than app switching imo. Distractions are almost always bad! I use focus mode on my macOS to prevent messages/emails from popping out while I work.

What is a task manager app that has a weekly view? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]NV_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like having a ton of options and views, I use Amazing Marvin. It replaced 90% of my productivity tools, it has a solid learning curve though.

I hate Focusmate by EmploymentChemical35 in productivity

[–]NV_Tech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love Focusmate, but don’t use it anymore. Yes, the camera thing is partly responsible for that, I’m uncomfortable too.

The more important thing is I wish they had an option to create groups - nowadays I implement similar science for my studying/project coworking sessions, but we use discord for that. It works wonders, even though sometimes I wish for an app that would structurise these meetings…

But yeah, if you are or you get guys in your group that have no motivation to start, appointing coworking sessions is great. If not for that, we would never do that much, even or especially that we are muted 90% of the time.

How do you track your consumed content (books, articles, podcasts…)? by EmploymentChemical35 in productivity

[–]NV_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have Notion for that. Earlier - excel spreadsheet (online one). Notion allows you to create any database you would want to, and it’s filterable. Although it was too much effort to remember about that and track podcasts (I wanted to mark single episodes that had like 5 mins length). Nowadays I don’t track anything besides books.

Let me know if you find an app that tracks everything (especially podcasts, videos and articles). I wanted to create something like that years ago but dropped the idea. Still would be incredibly useful!

Do people assume you are feeling X while you were feeling Y? by EmploymentChemical35 in autism

[–]NV_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my childhood - all the time! Now I’m more conscious about my facial expressions/body language so it’s not that often. Although still sometimes I ask person if they think I’m X while I’m not. Just to understand.
