It worked great when I switched from yabai some time ago but now it seems to be constantly losing windows and I have to keep resetting it :S

Read it a while ago, one lasting impact it had on me is I became a devotee of the bic tri-color pen :)

Now, onto the next frontier: handwriting recognition for shorthand. Let's start from Orthic :)

I agree that those are impressive skills that are becoming rare and make us compare unfavorably to old schoolers. But I am also impressed by trackers who can follow a trail in the bush by observing clues invisible to ordinary people. All ki

Can’t you say the same about the printing press?

Socrates thought that writing contributed to brain rot. If I AI rots my brain than so did Google before it, and printed encyclopedias before that. In reality, the fact I can get my questions answered quickly only makes me think of more and

Cool idea! It reminds me of this maxim: In each sentence, a fact and a feeling. The idea is from this book: Writing Non-Fiction by Walter S. Campbell (1949) I found out about this book from the recommended reading section at the end of on

Indeed. When you have superior skill, inferior tooling can be a constraint. But a superior tool will not compensate for inferior skill.

Iphone, yes. I keep the file on dropbox so that is what keeps it synced. Shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/a8a0076cc03f4e699d8ca34bd3d...

It’s an iphone shortcut. Here it is: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/a8a0076cc03f4e699d8ca34bd3d... I keep the inbox.org on dropbox, that keeps it synced. The shortcut is called “longdictate” because previously I had

The most seamless capture-from-anywhere workflow I struck upon is to have a shortcut on my phone's home screen. When tapped, it takes my dictation, transcribes it, and saves it to an inbox.org file with an org-syntax timestamp, synced

True! I don't use capture templates. Tags make sense too.

The issue I'm having is that the daily file is sometimes a running log of notes I jotted down, other times a structured journal entry written the next morning. I wish I could separate the two so that I could export all my proper journa

My stack is org mode plus the Denote package which has a nifty journaling feature. Each day has its own file. The date is in the file name, but more useful to me, the file name also includes a signature that looks like this today: 2025q4w40

I often use timers and alarms either on my casio or on my laptop as reminders for this or that. I routinely get so carried away by whatever I'm doing that I don't notice when the sound alert plays. Sometimes, when I realize later

I also switch between my macbook keyboard and my external ortholinear keyboard. In my case, getting used to the ortholinear actually improved my typing on the macbook keyboard, as it taught me to use my pinky finger more, and also fixed som

Living in the northern hemisphere, it bugs me that standard north-up, west-left maps don't match up with the sun and with our clocks. It's neat that both clock hands and the sun are "up" at noon. It would be even neater

I spent my 20s searching for the perfect todo solution but my search ended when I discovered org-mode. It's not that I'm the most productive person you'll meet, it's just that there's nothing further to look for. Sh

Denote, the org-mode package, takes the cake for me. (From Protesilaos, whose introduction to emacs was also on the front page at the time of writing this comment)

It’s already decaying, tiles coming loose, glues coming undone, grime building up. And yeah, up close everything looks cheap, like it was built to be a temporary movie set. (Talking strictly about the neoclassical stuff.)

Nono, I specifically mentioned no willpower required. Like in your example of available actions, I also have zero desire to jump out of the window, so don’t have to expend any willpower to resist it. Similarly, on my good days, I don’t feel

Do you ever get periods of time where you're just not interested in your phone? Periods of time when you don't even feel the compulsion to unlock your phone and scroll, so there's no real willpower required to abstain from it

Aren't in this case they saying that their experiment might have been the wrong one, and that next time they have to do a different kind of test that takes a longer time span into consideration? They acknowledge the result that no chan

Makes sense. That said, fidgeting and moving around is spontaneous when on the floor, you don’t have to be reminded to do it. Also, no chair is cheaper than an expensive chair.

It appears that the problem is not in sitting too much, but rather in sitting in chairs specifically. Apparently, hunter-gatherer people also spend about 10 hours a day sitting. But they sit on the ground. Or kneel or squat. And they don&#x

The introduction to the article denies its main point: > If writing down your ideas always makes them more precise and more complete, then no one who hasn't written about a topic has fully formed ideas about it. It’s a logical error

Yay for shorthand. I learned Orthic. Taking notes with pen and paper is now more convenient than taping them into a phone: speed about the same, but you only need one hand, and it's more comfortable.
