@warner It’s those little details that make me love some products.

@jean Roam Research here, loving the life at block level.

@Mandalorian Instead of working on your time management you should practice saying the word “Nein”.

@Mandalorian More info here…

@garo According to the authors, 99% of the books should be read using the techniques of inspectional reading and, in my opinion, their own book falls in this category. I think a good summary would suffice to get an idea of the methods explaines in the book.

@garo Agree. The only think I would change to the current pin system is to see which pins I don't have and how to get them for my private collection

@ChrisJWilson Logic Pro and iZotope RX

@JMaxB There is a fascinating study from 2011 showing that organizing emails into folders takes on average 67 hours a year. And makes it harder to find your messages.

@patrickrhone Thanks! We are nowhere near your level of creating a ‘wow’ house, but are learning something at every step.

@jeroensangers Also, I love the wood of the frame we found after removing several layers of paint.

@Gaby Yes, but is still not optimized for use by touch ☹️

@jeroensangers I have not been able to solve the issues, even after a factory reset. Unfortunately, I have to purchase a new phone. At least I don’t have to go places the coming days, so I will manage without a phone.

@jlrevilla Sí, era hoy

@matthewlang Sure, everyone has to find the workflow that fits best.

@matthewlang Funny, I am going the other way, converting all my newsletter subscriptions to RSS feeds.

I treat my feeds as a ‘river of news’ where I dip in and out (mark all as read is my friend), while email is something I want to keep up with and process it all.

@Mandalorian That's why you should never take off your helmet!

@ton It is always interesting to see the workflows of other people. (I know, I should really write a post about mine).

This caught my eye, since I ran into the same issue:

Until last week’s Zotero update I could easily grab those highlights and notes using a plugin and save them in markdown into my Obsidian notes vault. The update broke the plugin, so that flow is temporarily out of order.

I assume you're talking about the ZotFile plugin.

One of the reasons the latest Zotero update broke the plugin is because Zotero has not a built-in feature to extract annotations from a PDF file. You can access this function from the Notes sidebar in the built-in PDF reader. Just click on the + button next to Item Notes and select “Add Item Note from Annotations”.

@hexadecima I know of someone who was already in a bad place when she started reading this book and because of that got stuck in the ‘finitude’ concept, without getting the liberating feeling of accepting her finitude.

@hexadecima I would recommend this book to everyone who is not going through a midlife crisis

@mangochutney Those look solid!

@Miraz I used to collect my places in a dedicated app called Rego, but a few years ago I discovered the collections in Maps.

@lmika This reminds me of the chapter called «Staying on the Bus» in Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman

@Mandalorian Thanks, I’m going to try that out

@odd I suppose on iOS you might be able to create something using WidgetSmith… though I hve no clue whether WidgetSmith can show a random line from a text file.

@odd I already figured it out: I simply used the 𝚫 function in Roam Research to have them show up on my Daily Notes page.
