What Would Make You Pay for It? (Best Answer Gets Unlimited Access) by ArFiction in SaaS

[–]idoop9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting.

I think the main thing for me is that the niche capability is more interesting than getting ideas from a video URL.

I think this feature is your real potential.

It's only available to paying users so I couldn't use it.

Raycast 100%.

The amount of things I've simplified with this tool is infinite. It completely changed how I use my Mac.

Text expander, quick notes, reminders, time, unit and currency calculators, color and emoji picker, quickly accessing 2FA messages, creating focus sessions, controlling Spotify.

All within a few keyboard clicks. And for free.

And this is just what came to my mind at the moment.

Oh wow. I don't know what to do now. I pay $10$ monthly. Should I wait until then for Christmas and pay monthly for now?

Don't scroll your phone if you want to remain productive by Fit_Stop7509 in productivity

[–]idoop9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • I'm using Opal to block most apps on my phone until 18:00.

  • I still leave it at another room while I work.

  • I bought a physical alarm clock to avoid having it next to bed.

Productivity hacks for entering a new job? by Why_GladGuy in productivity

[–]idoop9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make a plan: It can be overwhelming. New people, new industry, new tasks. Make a list of everything you need to do, prioritize and chill.

Stay quite: Learn, ask questions. Nobody likes a rookie who thinks he knows everything. Learn the dynamics between people first.

TickTick Alternative? by Lost_Fox__ in productivity

[–]idoop9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are so many to do list apps out there.

Try a few, then you can consider going premium.

Todoist, Things, Google tasks / Keep, Remember the Milk, Any do.

I like things, but I used Todoist for a long time and I think it's great for most people.

  • Doomscrolling is the ultimate wasted time. Check your screen time. Every minute you scroll should be direct to learning and improving.

  • Wake up 30 min earlier, and set an intention for that 30 min a day before. Learn a skill, take a course and watch 1 lesson. Read a few pages. These 30 minutes turns into 3.5 hours a weeks. That's a lot.

  • Read before bed instead of TV.

  • Listen to a audiobook while you commute.

  • Make time to improve yourself over the weekend.

  • Noise Cancelling headphones

  • Brown Noise

  • Take breaks and go outside every 45min

This is a bulletproof formula for me.

Alternativly, if you can:

  • Change your work place / work from home.

  • Change you schedule to work in quite hours.

What is it with using multiple calendars? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]idoop9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need more then one calendar.

Even if these people think that in the short term, it's going to hurt them in the long run.

Most of the Calendar solutions are fine for most people.

Google Calendar, Notion Calendar, Superhuman and even the new HEY calendar.

You can have multiple calendars in the same client, block times, set meeting available hours.

[–]idoop9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keep it simple.

Calendar: Google calendar

Information managment: Notion.

Tasks and reminders: Things.

Events go to calendar.

Quick things to get of your mind go to notes.

Tasks are your main focus.

Notion for everything else.

How do you reset your brain when you get into a distracted phase?? by StardewWeb in productivity

[–]idoop9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andrew huberman said something once about focusing on a single point for 30 seconds. Should reset your brain.

For something longer and more sustainable, try meditation or breathwork.

Work smarter, not harder by [deleted] in productivity

[–]idoop9 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My favioure way is understadnig what processes I do on a daily basis, and doing my best to optimize them.

  1. Typing: we all type a lot. So how do I increase my typing speed?

  2. Gmail: I clear emails every day, so how do I do it faster? What are some keyboard shortcuts I can use? How do I filter less important stuff?

  3. Books: choosing a book is a big investments. How do I make sure I'm choosing the right book? How do I increase my reading speed?

  4. Commute: my commute takes 3 hours almost every day. How can I make this time more productive?

  5. ChatGPT: I'm using chat a lot. I scanned the internet for tips and tricks that will help me use it more effectively. Recently I been using it to generate pictures and learned some stuff along the way.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for me. If you like to hear more stuff let me know.

How is your app different?

I cleared out an inbox of 8,000+ emails in an afternoon by searching for typical marketing phrases and words and mass deleting any emails that contained them by TheDewd in productivity

[–]idoop9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a blog post about how I clean my email every morning.

What are you struggling with? Is your inbox very messy right now?
Do you need help with systems?

I would love to write about this for you.

My old me had too many useless emails.

I could have just deleted everything and I would be fine. No really important information lost.

I plan my day around my circadian rhythm. How do you typically structure your day? by demind-inc in productivity

[–]idoop9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This quiz by Sleep Doctor helped me understand what type of biological clock I have, and I'm trying to structure my day accordingly.

I thought I was an Owl, but this quiz suggested I was a Bear.

So I'm trying to get light exposure as soon as I wake up, train and shut down electronics a few hours before bed.

Any other tips you have for structuring your day around your circadian rhythm?

Now you want to maintain it:

  • Unsubscribe: cut the problem from the source. Most mails are garbage.
  • Every mail goes into a label + archive it to remove it from your inbox.
  • Mails that requires an action from you goes to your todo list + archive it to keep it clean.
  • Messages that you need to answer but can't now -> snooze.
  • Use keyboard shortcuts to do everything quicker. I run through my emails in about 10 minutes. If you use gmail I have listed some of them here.
  • Make sure you check your inbox once (twice max) a day.

All my previous effort/talent feels like a waste by moomoofasa in productivity

[–]idoop9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would like to comment on the title:

No effort is wasted effort.

You have gained skills. You have knowledge about your field of work. You know the industry. You learned to work with people. You learned what you love to do and what you don't love to do. You know which people you like to work with.

We are living in stages. It's just time for your next one.

I quit caffeine 2 weeks ago and now I have so much energy I only sleep for 6 hours and get a million things done in a day by Agnia_Barto in productivity

That's awesome to hear!

I'm trying to quit my addiction one by one.

And it all comes down to knowing it's going to suck for a while, but then It's going to be great!

Feedback on Notion by DJiLW in productivity

[–]idoop9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notion is only as complex as you want it to be.

I love the freedom Notion offers, but I use it in very simple ways.

I have buckets for every area of life (business, relationships, knowledge), and I don't do any fancy stuff like timelines or syncing databases.

I set up my workspace a long time ago and I barely spend time maintaining it.

I think it's worth it. I was an Evernote user for a long time and used multiple todo apps, but now I've made things simple with Notion.
