• (Serious) If storing notes is a process that never will end, how does one adjust after categorizing their notes in to sections when new notes come in on the fly and time is finite?

  Personally, I like the Getting Things Done method, which has you store notes in an "inbox" (for me, that's a Trello board), which you prune daily or weekly, which involves pruning out the stuff that really isn't important or that can just be done right then.

• What format do you save articles?

  Works really great! Also, I'm a 20-year user of TheBrain (thebrain.com), and I can drag and drop the files from my Obsidian vault to TB as links.

• Ask HN: How do you cope with being interupted?

  It's very situation-dependent, so here are a few things I've done: 1. In a work situation where I'm relatively senior, I've proactively communicated that I like minimally-interrupting notifications (email>slack>IRL). Even when someone taps me on the shoulder, they're a little sheepish about it, and I can request 30 seconds to jot down a note about where I left off. I also just feel more in control of the... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• How is everyone tracking software expirations/renewals and recurring maintenance tasks?

  We just redid our process about six months ago and we are now using rememberthemilk.com for ours. We setups recurring tasks for each item. They have flexible reminder options like text and email that can go to different people at varying times. When we complete a task it automatically re-schedules itself for the next year. We have some that renew ever 2 or 3 years and it can accommodate that as well. The free... Source: over 2 years ago
