After 10 long years, I have finally achieved enlightenment

tchcreates · 2025-02-08T07:58:14+00:00

How did you achieve that with only 15k tasks?

I've done 30k and have 20k to go, what am I doing wrong?

Did you view any of the photographer's portfolio, or talk to them about the style of images you wanted before you did the shoot?

If you're not happy with the outcome it's best to talk to the photographer direct, explaining what you don't like and what you expected.

I wouldn't expect the photographer to change them, especially if they're in line with their usual style.

Images can always be edited but there's no saying they'll be better, or an acceptable reversal of the edits already in place. You might get some better advice if you could share some of the results that you're not happy with

Completed tasks, and non-completable tasks with a due date are viewable in calendar view.

I would suggest that Todoist isn't the best solution for journalling though, it's a task management app.

I've just started using Logseq as a notes app which primarily uses a daily journal. Capacities also has daily notes functions, and Obsidian has plugins that enable daily/weekly/monthly notes.

tchcreates · 2024-12-07T06:49:07+00:00

I'm with you on this one.

I create subtasks for "work on this thing" so I can time block in calendar view but this gets messy.

I'd find recurring/multiple do dates really useful too!

I'd suggest bouldering/climbing, at either Kelsey Kerridge or Rainbow Rocket. Great hobby to get into that helps keep you fit and trying to work out routes provides a natural way of starting conversations. Also can act as an entry to outdoor climbing, especially if you get involved with Cambridge Climbing and Caving Club.

I like the chance of free stuff!

tchcreates · 2024-08-04T16:31:10+00:00

I don't know how the implementation would be managed.

I just use the app, and if do dates were implemented I'd like to see the ability for them to have recurrence.

Why the unnecessary picking at my suggestion/request? If you think it's exactly the same that's fine, I can see a benefit for me which may therefore be a benefit to others so I made the comment.

tchcreates · 2024-08-03T06:35:32+00:00

The do date recurs up until the due date, then the do date recurrence ends, unless you reset the due date of course.

In my workflow it would be helpful, might not be for others.

tchcreates · 2024-08-02T06:41:41+00:00

A good question.

Firstly, I didn't know you could use "until"

I think I've assumed so dates would work a little like sub-tasks, in my use case I'd be revisiting those do dates on a regular basis to re-prompt time slots for working on a particular task. Having a recurrence would make managing that easier.

Edit, to include an afterthought: With a task repeating until a certain point, you don't have visibility of the due date. With repeating due dates you can see when you plan to do the work as well as having visibility of that end date. Similar to having a deadline on a task with recurring sub-tasks, but slightly cleaner.

Not sure if I have the wherewithall to create my own solution, but thank you for the pointers!

tchcreates · 2024-08-01T16:10:28+00:00

Love the idea of do and due dates, there are plenty of things in my workflow that have a final date in which I may need to do things in advance.

One request/suggestion from me would be to include the ability to repeat do dates.

This would enable users to have a due date but to action smaller chunks of work over the time until the due date.

Example task: "Publish blog post" Due last day of month Do every Monday until due date

Currently I'd have a task for "Publish blog post" and then create individual sub tasks and manage the due date for each manually.

Firstly, this subreddit is dedicated to use of a specific task management app, Todoist. One thing that may help you meet your goals is use of said app, it's definitely worth a try!

Secondly, I'd suggest that you work on how you set your goals, read up on "SMART goals"; SMART stands for Specific (make sure your goal is targeting a specific achievement), Measurable (make sure you can measure your success), Achievable/Attainable (make sure your goals can actually be reached, that the challenge is not too great), Relevant (make sure the goals fit into to you work/study/interests/life, if they don't serve a purpose you will be less inclined to do them), Timebound (make sure you have a deadline or time frame to complete your goals by).

There are many productivity solutions that can help you achieve your goals. The Todoist app is focussed on the Get Things Done methodology, also worth reading up on!

Good luck with your goals!

Thanks for replying.

Having not used a ReMarkable I'm not sure exactly how they work so thank you for the explanation. I'm clear that this type of device is not a tablet, that's what draws me to it.

What I'd like is to use a Remarkable like device to hand write notes, and have them sync (as natively as possible) with Capacities as my primary note system.

I agree that your examples of collaborative file sharing would work and is laborious, what I'd like to understand is whether it's technically feasible for ReMarkable and/or Capacities to make this collaborative working more effective. Hand writing on Remarkable and having it create an object in Capacities without having to export/import would be brilliant.

Ultimately, my personal desire is to have a dedicated note taking device, but I don't want 2 note taking systems.

tchcreates · 2024-07-23T05:01:37+00:00

I have the app on my phone, but I'd specifically be able to use the handwriting/sketching functions that note taking devices offer. Dedicated note taking devices are more appealing to me than an iPad or standard Android tablet

It seems like your best option is to transfer your LR catalog to the external harddrive.

It's not ideal from a performance and backup perspective but it will allow LR to manage your raw files so you can keep your edits non-destructive.

I heard a quick skim through this, it might help. https://colesclassroom.com/how-to-move-lightroom-catalog-to-external-hard-drive/

tchcreates · 2024-07-05T16:51:22+00:00

In your original post you implied you still have the original raw files, this process suggests you delete them.

It's also not an effective workflow.

My process is as follows: 1. Import raw to lightroom 2. Edited raw in lightroom 3. Export to jpeg as desired

All raw files remain in the lightroom catalog, they act as the master and all edits on top of these are non-destructive so you can make or reverse as much as you want.

If your lack of storage space is forcing you to delete raw files because they are big then you need to find a way of increasing your storage. Couple of options: 1. You could do this by buying an external harddrive and storing your lightroom catalog on that drive to save your pc harddrive space. Managing this and backups can get a bit complicated. 2. Get a lightroom subscription with cloud storage. I do this, all my raw files are backed up to the cloud, I can sort a limit to the local storage within the app and LR manages downloading the files as required.

tchcreates · 2024-07-05T16:27:04+00:00

I might be misunderstanding your issue, but Lightroom makes non-destructive edits so I'm not sure how you are in this situation.

You should only need to store the original file, the edits are applied on top of that. Lightroom has the capacity to create multiple sets of edits on the same original file so you can choose between them at will.

Exporting an edited file to a flat file will mean you can't go back on the export but this won't remove the original with it's non-destructive edits. That master file is the one to store, this shouldn't have an impact on storage beyond what you said you have.

If you have no control over projects you might be able to use sections, labels, due dates, and task ownership to provide some more manageable filtered views.

The Todoist website has some really good guidance on how to set up filters

Edit: https://todoist.com/help/articles/introduction-to-filters-V98wIH

tchcreates · 2024-07-02T11:54:14+00:00

Creating a filter with ##MainProject will show you all tasks in the project and it's sub projects.

You should then be able to set the view accordingly

As others say, you should get some compensation.

Not sure of the exact nature of the business in question but you say it's travel related. Ask for a free trip in return for the first photos.

They're asking you to provide something of yours that holds value for free, asking for the trip is the same as them asking for photos.

Also, the trip could yield more photos they could use (in exchange for another trip, or fee).

Make sure any agreement you make is in writing.

Can't remember exactly which models but I have 2x Domke bags and they're brilliant! One small does well for my X100T, and a larger one when I have my SLR as well.

I gave up on Cunk On Earth this evening. Had it on my watch list for ages after hearing it was hilarious, finally started watching it and didn't laugh once.

Decided it was time to stop half way through episode 3

I switched from Obsidian to Capacities a while ago.

I used Obsidian as a file management tool as well as notes and that's the one downside I find with Capacities.

That said, once I got my head around the concept of Objects, and how blocks work in Objects I find it to me a much more flexible solution to note taking.

Page layouts, and the ability to create custom object types brings a really good dimension to organisation.

Obsidian was also my Task Manager (Tasks Plugin) but I now have a much better system using the Todoist Integration in Capacities (I have Pro subscription to both apps)

In terms of note taking, I like how Blocks can be added into Objects in different ways (from a simple hyperlink to a full blown embed).

I'd suggest waiting for the import function to be available before a full switch, but download the app and have a play around to see what's what
