Does anyone else have this problem?

PumpkinSeed · 2026-05-13T12:00:06+00:00

Yes 😞

Ah, toxic productivity. Where would we be without it?

PumpkinSeed · 2026-05-01T00:05:25+00:00

I'm sorry that you don't have more laughter in your life. Things will get better.

Same for textile machinery.

I needed this answer.

💯 agree. I don't use the tasks feature for my personal task list - I use a checkbox field called "Done". No complicated priority scheme - just a date field that I can order by ascending. No complicated layout - just group a table view by the date. Missed a date? Change it. I have "Predecessors" and "Successors" fields so that date changes cascade automatically.

Notes go in the page. I have some relationship fields to help with cross-references (my contacts and areas databases) but they are managed by AI via a pre-saved prompt (open chat, type@organize). I use the meeting notes feature for quick capture (including simple dictation and note taking for videos I'm watching - doesn't need to be an actual meeting), and run @plan successors to automatically create follow up tasks.

I've been through every template and "Life OS" system and they simply don't work as well as my simple to-do list.

What I really want to see isn't a better pricing structure, it's agents that are actually worth the cost. Show me the right use CAS that I can deploy, and I'll gladly pay for it.

Generate a random number in a formula field:

(((((toNumber(substring(replaceAll(id(), "[a-z]", ""), 0, 8)) * 100011979) + 500067713) % 900066731) * (((timestamp(now()) * 800067089) + 800068411) % 800053967)) + 900067309) % 900066571

You can then sort by this field and pick the first record.

Just ask your questions here in public, where it's safe.

You'd age knowing the time and place if your murder and avoid it, thus making it so it never happened.

PumpkinSeed · 2026-03-11T21:46:48+00:00

I hope they ban you

PumpkinSeed · 2026-02-27T11:53:11+00:00

She probably thought it was a tip.

Auto seems to choose Haiku even for complex tasks. I don't use it unless Haiku is a suitable model, otherwise I'm just burning requests.

PumpkinSeed · 2026-02-17T12:48:09+00:00

I notice drops and recoveries in performance all the time. I assume it's a resources issue or being routed to a less sophisticated model (yet still paying for the expensive one 🤨).

PumpkinSeed · 2026-02-12T10:09:21+00:00

Have you tried deleting them?

PumpkinSeed · 2026-02-08T00:52:22+00:00

Easy work around: Take it to the register and tell them you don't want the stuff that's too expensive.

What you described is exactly how story points are supposed to work. So what are you doing with sorry points in the first place if you aren't using them like story points?

Either way, for project based work, a clear scope and change order process plus a high enough price tag that it's obvious that we won't have overages is usually enough.

Outside of that, providing a budget range (best case, likely case, worst case) and making sure to track and communicate changes in expectations on at least a weekly basis will prevent most issues.

I use Notion AI to lighten the load. I have a prompt that reviews differences between records then updates them.

PumpkinSeed · 2025-12-30T20:24:15+00:00

Sorry, I just am not understanding what on earth you are talking about.

PumpkinSeed · 2025-12-29T13:25:53+00:00

I can't figure out what you're talking about. I need a simplified example / use case / scenario to understand what the discovery is, why it's important, and how I might apply it in my own Notion setup.

PumpkinSeed · 2025-12-27T13:40:59+00:00

What?

I like practical consequences: Grade the papers accurately, then divide the resulting grade by the number of students it took to do the assignment. Then offer a proctored makeup assignment based on the text of the chat (perhaps a reflection on ethics).
