• Reminder: Find some efficient and experienced charities to regularly give to

  Someone just invited me to give to a charity, so I thought I'd share the reminder to you, fellow rich non-tithing-payers, haha. https://charitywatch.org appears to be very thorough, sincere, and experienced since 1992. Source: almost 2 years ago

  Just keep in mind that many charitable groups are not that well-run, or even scammy themselves. There are good resources at places like givewell.org, and charitywatch.org, to get ratings on how effectively various charities use the money they raise. Source: about 2 years ago

• TIL that in addition to Red Cross organizations, there are also Red Crescent and Red Crystal organizations, with the symbols localized for acceptance by the community of each nation that has such an organization. In the past there was also a Red Lion and Sun (Iran).

• Ready to advance from Evernote, looking at Obsidian

  Currently, I use Things (https://culturedcode.com/things/) for tasks and Evernote for notes, and experimented with Freeform (I love the visual aspect and simplicity). At work, I've used Notion, Mural, Miro, LucidChart, Quip, and many other collaboration-based knowledge systems. I never researched the best of personal knowledge systems until now.

• Best Planner Apps: Top 11 Daily Planning Tools in 2023

  Things is a planner app built for Apple devices and designed to help wrangle growing task lists with smooth automations and easy-to-use controls. You can use it on your Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, or iPad.
