• 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. The app is ideal for employee work planning, or as a personal task manager, but not really suited for managers who plan for an entire team. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Looking for Todoist alternatives

  I have used Things and have found it great for task/project/homework tracking. I believe it satisfies a number of the constraints you listed. No Windows app though. Source: 11 months ago

• How tf do I stop being lazy and stop wasting my life away???

  I struggle with similar feelings. For desk/at home work, the Focusmate app (focusmate.com) has been a huge help. It kind of single-handedly helped me earn back trust in myself. You get 1:1 virtual coworking sessions with another user where you follow a friendly entry/exit protocol, tell each other what your plans are and how it went at the end, and keep your camera on the whole time while you work (usually muted)....

• How do you connect with coworkers when working remote?

  Maybe you can get your company to create a Focusmate group or a discord channel? If you haven’t heard of Focusmate you should definitely check it out. I wfh and absolutely could not do so without it. It gives me a fix for interaction but not too much to get me distracted and it also helps remind me to take breaks. Source: about 1 year ago

• [LPT Request] 38M, feeling lost and stagnant. How can I make a significant change in my life?

  Hey, I'm not sure if you work from home / remotely but if you are trying to achieve something from home, I'll just tell you about something that has really helped me: A co-working site like focusmate.com has been a game-changer for me. For some reason my productivity / commitment shoots up when I'm working alongside someone. Hope this helps. Source: about 1 year ago

• Side project at my startup: A quiet online coworking room because you are more productive when you work alongside other people

  Ive seen something like this its focusmate. I tried it once few years ago, back then it's only a one on one session. Not sure if they support something like yours. Source: about 1 year ago
