These might look #lazy, but are actually reasonable strategies:

- resist pointless #tasks to create time for deep thinking,
- set #boundaries at work to avoid #burnout,
- say “no” to tasks, resisting that we should always strive to #produce more,
- automate #repetitive tasks to free up time for #creative tasks.

Als Pensionist habe ich andere Anforderung an manche Apps. Im Zuge meines laufendes Abzugs von US-basierten Services entwickelte ich jetzt eine für mich passende Umsetzung für die Aufgaben in Obsidian, die aus Apple Erinnerungen übersiedelten. Basis sind dabei simple Monatslisten mit Tagesunterteilung - wie früher im Kalender. Ohne Erinnerungen, ohne ortsbasierte Funktionen, ohne Wiederholungen - das brauche ist alles nicht mehr. Purer Minimalismus, optisch ansprechend aufbereitet und ohne Erweiterungen. Für meine überschaubare Anzahl an Aufgaben abseits von "Projekten" bin ich damit - trotz ein bisserl Handarbeit (ich habe ausreichend Zeit) - sehr zufrieden.
#obsidian #tasks

Mein Eindruck von der Tasks-Erweiterung in Obsidian: Optisch gewinnt es keinen Preis, es funktioniert ob der vorhandenen Möglichkeiten und die "Programmierung" ist für mich verständlich.
Ich könnte meine Aufgaben notfalls damit organisieren, wenn ich keinen Ersatz für die Apple Erinnerungen finde, der nicht US-Ursprungs ist. Derzeit nerven mich die Erinnerungen tierisch - z.B. der permanente Drang alle Daten immer umwandeln zu wollen und die völlig unpassenden Vorschläge für eine Liste.

Happy I Love Free Software Day! 💕

Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.

Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.

This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.

Without further ado, THANK YOU to:

  • @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
  • @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
  • @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
  • @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
  • @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
  • #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
  • #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
  • @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
  • #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
  • @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
  • @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
  • #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
  • #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
  • @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
  • @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
  • @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
  • @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
  • #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
  • @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
  • #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
  • @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
  • @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
  • #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
  • #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
  • @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
  • @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
  • @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
  • The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!

Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.

I am super sorry if I forgot someone!

Tip #649

Keep your Vivaldi Calendar organized by creating separate calendars for tasks and events.

Just like you can group your Bookmarks and Notes into folders, you can also divide the events and tasks in your Vivaldi Calendar into separate calendars. An immaculately organized calendar is a joy to work with.

To add a new calendar:

  1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Calendars.
  2. Click on + “Add Calendar” at the bottom of the list of calendars.
  3. If relevant, select which account you want to add the new calendar to.
  4. Give the calendar a name and a color.
  5. Choose whether to allow just events, tasks, or both.
  6. Click “Create Calendar”.

- it's very easy to add to do items by tagging them as #tasks, it's a quick muscle memory thing, and then I separately configured an "inbox" where I can sort through them and provide more info (categorization, "do date", due date, etc). or if it's an important task I can add all that info relatively easily (in like 15 seconds instead of 2)

- Tana has a calendar mode and a kanban board mode so if I want to change around due/do dates, or statuses, using that kind of UX it's easy

A quotation from Taylor, Barbara Brown:

«
To make bread or love, to dig in the earth, to feed an animal or cook for a stranger — these activities require no extensive commentary, no lucid theology. All they require is someone willing to bend, reach, chop, stir. Most of these tasks are so full of pleasure that there is no need to complicate…
