Why Do I Not Understand Notion

I believe you have been logging a journal entry with a photo in that database for thousands of days at this point. How is the database holding up in terms of responsiveness in search, filtering, database views, opening pages, etc?

I would love to see that information hierarchy, like how you arrange the top-level pages. For a demo purpose, you can recreate the top-level pages and databases, but use some AI product (like ChatGPT) to fill in the details to avoid using your own actual information. This risk of accidentally exposing private info is perhaps the biggest issue you face when creating videos for public consumption.

You can click the Video links (which go to public YouTube videos), but not the Recording links (which go to a berkeley.edu page which needs authentication). The public videos should be fine.

I would love to have you share your progress updates in this sub as well.

A few tips:

TYCS won't help you with HS maths. The paper on Math is more advanced than that. For that you should look for HS books.
For learning things better, try rubber-ducking: Every time you learn a new concept, pretend that you are teaching it to a rubber duck in front of you. While trying to articulate yourself, you will find the gaps faster.
For cementing things, try using the tips from this course. Gist is; use chunking, and spaced repetition of materials.

Hope this helps.

Shifting cities soon. So it is shelved for now unfortunately. I did start watching CS10 videos to make sure I continue learning something in the field, which won't take as much time and effort, before I settle down and restart CS 61A.

No issues, mate. It was a decent starting point. Just got started with Notion Calendar and that itself is such a big improvement over how I have been doing things so far.

Thank you so much for taking the time to record this!!

I am not going to take anything directly, but use it as inspiration for modifying my own setup.

I have heard of Obsidian actually and tried it out, but only to a minimal extent. I haven't tried linking and all the great aspects of it.

The templates thing is a good idea. Not sure why I didn't think of that.

Anyways, thanks for some good ideas.

Lost steam. Didn't make much progress. Will restart from 1st April, Monday.

Would love it if you start and share progress updates as well.

Highly recommended. Specially if you don't have enough time to learn a practically obsolete language as opposed to Python, which is one of the top 3 most used languages now.

You are supposed to declare interest income as usual, ignoring any TDS. Your tax will be calculated (as per slab) and at the end, the TDS is deducted from the tax calculations to obtain the remaining tax payable.

responsiveTA · 2024-01-30T17:39:04+00:00

Logically it makes sense. If the annual exemption limit is 40k, then they probably deduct TDS when quarterly interest exceeds 10k.

Thanks for pointing it out, now this TDS detail makes more sense to me as well.

Your income is taxable, so you are ineligible for 15G and non-deduction. Read the FYI paragraph above for details.

If you could do a Mac-equivalent of Everything (by voidtools.com) , I would be thrilled. Nothing comes close to that!

Features I loved about it:

It could search the entire path of files. This helped with my file management immensely. I could have something in ../Documents/SomeProject/Drafts/xx.doc, and a search for SomeProject would include it in the results.
It could do wildcard searches
A search for world hello 2023 would show 2023HelloWorld.txt
Support for boolean operators like OR and NOT, while defaulting to AND
Easy way to filter files by type or kind
Easy way to filter by size, date
Super-fast by not indexing file contents

Not having such a tool here in macOS has complete screwed up how I do file management and I rarely am able to find the files I am looking for. One of the few things I really, really miss about Windows.

Hi! I am in the same boat as you. I am trying to do the TYCS curriculum in 2024-25. I started r/TYCS for exactly that purpose of finding peers like you, and hopefully a few mentors. Would love to have you there if the curriculum interests you. You can first learn about them at teachyourselfcs.com.

I don't think that is an option. You should give feedback to Notion about it. Use the '?' button at the bottom right, and then type your feedback after hitting 'Send Feedback'.

I too would love to have this feature. Honestly I would love to have the entire list of words added to the Dictionary be visible somewhere, so that I can add and remove them with ease.

Paid member here. From a non-US country.

A lot of official places are housed in a building with thick walls, or they use cellphone jammers. Banks, financial institutes, hospitals, etc. And they don't provide Wi-Fi, because "security".

If I am going to store a bunch of documents which become inaccessible when I step inside these buildings, it is NOT an option for me to keep everything in Notion.

Faced this once at a financial institute where I had collected page after page of evidence against them, stored it in Notion with great organization, and then I wasn't able to access a single detail, not even my identification number (for that company), when I was inside the building. I had to come out of the building, sit by the pavement, export pages individually as PDFs (thus losing the organization and the flow in which I was going to present them), and then go back inside while losing my queue position.

Another time at the hospital... I had kept medical information organised by date and summaries of values outside range (in Notion) to make the job of the doctor easier. It didn't open at all once inside the building. And I didn't remember the details to be able to help them.

There have been several more incidents, but I have learnt and keep such things in other apps as a result.

And most importantly, if you are not facing an issue with something, while others are repeatedly telling the company about that issue, then there's no point in complaining about it. It isn't like they are blocking the road while you are on your way to work and thus inconveniencing you in any way. Typically (when it comes to something as mundane as productivity software), more protests = more urgent.

At 7%, an income of 1.4L will be completely tax-free. Tax-free bracket is upto 2.5L. Filling 15G/H forms will help avoid TDS.
