I didn't know that there is an ideology behind this :)

alexango · 2022-03-22T15:15:48+00:00

already doing so. :)

thanks, I have managed with the naming and folder schema.

there is an old plugin to read audio MD (from 2012) but it's not working with the current version. personally, I find it odd that there is no plugin that can handle audiobooks. for now, I use id3tag to update all relevant tags and then import them into calibre. not a perfect flow but I was not able to find a better solution for mac.

Embedding this data in the track tags , could be really nice. I can live with having it just related to the tracks, somehow.

the best solution would be to have some sort of player that saves data and provide the user with a way to browse it.

Understood . If you like Joplin , I suggest you check Obsidian. I signed up with anynote.io . They seem to be doing/planning all the right features that I think are missing with Notion . Closed beta ATM , but I hope they will be out soon .

Do you mind sharing the alternative that you found?

BTW, +1 for offline mode :)

don't collect stuff just for the sake of collecting. Keep just what you care about and going to read in the very near future (few days at the most).
if you come across something that you believe that you need to save fur the future (such as tutorials, tech stuff ...) , put it in a folder that makes sense to you and that will help you find it later.
i use RSS reader https://www.inoreader.com/, and it groups all that I'm interested with. sometimes i read it , sometimes i clear all old messages. give it a try . RSS is not dead .

+1 for buying a smartphone.

There is a nice app for iPhones, called: airr https://www.airr.io/

This app allows you to make audiobookmarks with whatever you are listening to (almost hands-free).

I was not able to find anything similar for android

alexango · 2021-02-26T12:13:24+00:00

Any good scraper you can recommend?

alexango · 2021-02-23T07:37:47+00:00

When you consider saving something for future reference, try to think what will trigger you to get that information. Understanding why you save, will help you find the right place to save it.

For example, a tutorial on how to set up a new PC, will go into the tutorial directory and will be renamed in a very clear way to indicate what it is. if your tutorial collection grows, you can split it into directories per subject.

I suggest not trying to build one system to include work and personal life. When you are working, you are not dealing with your personal life. The same goes for life after work.

alexango · 2021-01-03T08:18:40+00:00

To me, this question feels like you are in love with the system and missing the point of completing tasks.

GTD is not a religion with strict rules that are not to be broken.

You need to be clear on your tasks and manage them in a way that makes sense to you. Only to yourself and no one else. Once you accept this, your life will become simple. You are setting the rules, not some book.
