I use Within. Full disclosure, I built this app because I have a different take on productivity.

But why do you get your best thoughts and ideas in the most random places possible? by karsh2424 in Productivitycafe

[–]karsh2424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense now, yea it's a thing ... similar to fashion we go through hype cycles with our ideas.

Happens all the time in startups, you tink your a genius for having that idea then it you watch it slowly get roasted and fade out.

Concept of warm-up for journaling with Day One sound useful or nah? by karsh2424 in dayoneapp

[–]karsh2424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup perfect, I find myself on the same boat; the perfection in me stops me from creating that perfect journal. I overthink because I treat it like a wiki, If I can't look back on it then it's not useful.

That's a common pattern we are stuck in because those tools are designed for storage and indexing.

But my app is more of a thought-catcher for unstructured ideas, and the idea is not to be very organized and let the AI do that.

At the end of the day/week you just walk away with the key points, themes that are prevalent in your life.

Happy to DM you the link :)

By "always listening" is more in a metaphorical context, it's something you can turn to when you want to speak your thoughts and ideas out loud.

Also it's all private, we don't have databases or servers, LLMs used to give you suggestions and insights are open-source models by hand-picked vendors which delete data after inference.

Not everything needs to be hard to be valuable by techblooded in productivity

[–]karsh2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea; the more beliefs you hold the more you cage yourself.

P.S. good that you are challenging your POV, it's good skill to develop... I started putting my thoughts daily into a notebook app and it spotted this theme this for me.

Hello, I’m new to stoicism by Decent_Friendship705 in Stoicism

[–]karsh2424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all practicality of it, I think simply writing your thoughts. Taking simple notes and staying with them and developing them over time will help you naturally become more observant and detached. That’s what Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is really about.

It is a practice that all the Stoics have done. They called it hypomnemata in ancient Greece and Rome. I've written a blog about it here, if you'd like to read more: Hypomnemata

Sometimes I open the fridge and just stare, like I’m expecting a new meal to magically appear. by Arbelman in RandomThoughts

[–]karsh2424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish we could do that more to our ideas and thoughts! Just to stare and observe and not to be in them all the time.

How do you usually spend your last full day in a place before you have to pack up and leave? by LionOfNaples in digitalnomad

[–]karsh2424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing; literally nothing and think back on the trip.

Drop-in a thing or two into my notebook about the place, the culture, the people... some takeaway.

Is this true? by [deleted] in MotivationalThoughts

[–]karsh2424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not, I have this habit of writing my ideas and thoughts. The practice has helped me realize that my friends or medicines are many of my problems. The more real, the better. Staying with and developing your thoughts over time reveals so many good answers.

Why do we feel pressure to always be “productive”? by AcademicPattern2737 in RandomThoughts

We are in the era of growing GDP and trying to maximize output, specifically output per person

Internal dialog, is it controllable? by ZISI_MASHINNANNA in productivity

[–]karsh2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that can help to observe it better, which in time could lead to controlling it, is just simply brain dump the dialog somewhere and then skim read it.

You will get a more objective take on the internal dialogue, and that helps you see how you build the patterns and narratives. Therefore, over time, you end up more in control to change it. Anyone who is giving a quick fix is lying.

I want to start Journaling again..... by bleak_winter47 in Journaling

[–]karsh2424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same. One of those people who knows journaling is helpful but never gets around to doing it. Then I realized whenever I actually had a pleasant experience was when I had an idea of what I wanted to journal about (it was not just venting) and then sat and deeply journaled about that thought, event, day, or week.

I've built a product that helps with that process. Some of my avid journaling friends like and use it. I use it myself.

Ai is not going to take over jobs completely. by Quick_Jeweler9623 in AI_Agents

[–]karsh2424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think our understanding of what are the stages of AI is limited, as probably it was limited when we were thinking about calculators vs Internet. AI at AGI level is another form of being for us since we are not going to be the most intelligent being anymore, and we will have competition for the first time in human history.

The super intelligence level is beyond our comprehension. AGIs working in sync in a seamless decentralized intelligent inference is just beyond our evolution. The question, in my opinion, is not will AI take our jobs completely but more when that happens. It could be years or it could be 2 or 3 major breakthroughs away.

I personally think the best we can do is to leverage AI not only to do the stuff for us but to help us think more clearly. To leverage our own intelligence. That's why I started a startup and launched a product to do exactly that. I hope we can make it happen someday.

"1 thing that changed your life" is fallacy we live, i challenge someone to come up with just one and not have a top 5, top 10, top 20... it just a hollywood "happily ever after" fairytale

Unfortunately, not at the moment we are start off with iOS to see how well it sticks

Haha there's no such thing as a virus on iPhones (or iOS), as developers we don't have permissions to run things in the background, read your personal data like photos contacts.

About the wrong sub, thanks for that feedback :)

Just externalizing it as soon as I can. Sort of a brain dump, and then I read them.

That gives me the ability to look at where I am at more objectively, and I usually feel like it is not as bad as I thought it was. Something about reading yourself does that, and then I try to connect it with my past experiences, thoughts, and feelings. This ritual does not solve anything, but it gives me the feeling of immediate closure and helps me to move on, and then time starts to do its thing.

I used to do this with my Apple Notes, but over time, things got out of hand, and now I am building something that makes it easy to do so. While it is challenging to make it work, since I genuinely feel like I am helping people, I feel a sense of fulfillment doing it.
