In-reply-to » Whenever I face an overwhelmingly long todo list, I add an item to "triage todo list", meaning to look through and remove items that don't need to be done right away. The first item I triage is the "triage todo list" item. Then I go back to procrastinating. This strategy has worked well for me over the years.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I had organizing issues and thought of my own solution, that became what I use daily.

First I set a priority with the famous priority matrix:

  • A: Urgent and important
  • B: Important but not urgent
  • C: Urgent but not important
  • D: Not urgent and not important
  • E: To delete or reprioritize at the next iteration

Then I take at hand only five tasks to actually do, they can be less than five but not more.

The rest of them is to be forgotten until the tasks are done.

if I need to take another extra task I must decide what I take down from the 5 “active” to keep being within the limit.

The backlog should be around 50 tasks at most of context I have “Work” and “Personal” as context with a count of 50-60 in total right now.

I also keep four important management rules:

  1. No due dates: With this approach everything is handled manually, so you need keep caring about your to-do list over time without it growing indefinitely like a dumpster.
  2. If I’m not doing it get it out of the “Active” list: The tasks I keep are what I’m doing and care at the time I put them in “Active” on weekends I take down everything still pending from work, that helps my mind a lot
  3. Read everything everytime: Each time I decide to add a tasks to the active list I read every single task in my backlog, a max limit is needed to keep it contained and have only a meaningful selection of them, if something has lost its meaning off it goes!
  4. Tasks, not events: If I have it in my calendar then it’s not in my backlog, a tasks is something I DO while an event is something I ATTEND TO

I’ve been using this for some time after getting inspired from a playthrough of Pokemon Emerald 😉 and noticed the care I put in selecting my moves after they learned them since they are limited to four.

This is also used by one my colleague and he seems to have a positive feedback about it.

In-reply-to » @movq Oh, even Fraktur! It took me brute force to decypher "Heute", mainly due to the "H". Both "n" and "u" look identical to me, so my brain tricked me into believing that it of course has to be an "n". Looks quite beautiful, keep it coming.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Well, I actually did a couple of times, I did commissions for flyers, business cards and wedding invitations so I’ve played a lot with fonts.

Sometimes the choosed font is unreadable to me so I write in simple sans then apply the font on the text.

Last week a colleague from another department came to me and said: “We must make a ChatGPT chatbot for our project because it’s so cool!” 💩

I kindly sent him to hell, “If you want it so much just have him make the code for you”.

Why is everyone thinking that shit is smarter than them?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Usual fonts are fine for me, but OpenDyslexic is like a super booster, great for everyone, I’ve seen some reading apps have the option to use it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de now you do, 😸 I personally only met two people, one at work and the other was a little boy who was the child’s of my own teacher, he had a very low self-esteem because of it, just like me in my early days.

The worst is having it going undiagnosed, to others you just don’t like school and don’t want to put effort, that’s was hell until my teachers noticed and made me do a checkup for it.

If I had to say what really affected me because of dyslexia in my daily life was only within school, out of there almost everything can be overcame or avoided with technology or alternatives, now only handwriting and math are still an issue (digital texting, dictation and calculators are now at hand for me 😎).

In-reply-to » @darch @justamoment @bender Something is a bit off with where the "Logout" button now is and the top-right "Profile" button. Can you guys try to collaborate on this? I just have this feeling... The new profile view is nice, but something is a bit off with the UX, several times I've tried to find the "Logout" button and keep forgetting where it now is 🤣

@darch@twtxt.net it can work, but I’m not sure about the mobile version.

What was your idea?

@darch@neotxt.dk the logout in the list of sections with the settings is not the best for me, it feels as if it’s not supposed to be there, maybe a wider separation would work?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de I forgot to tell you why: I’m dyslexic.

My issue is been able to write something that’s at least readable…

If it’s not in all caps it’ll be a mess (apart from my usual mistakes), even a child’s handwriting is wonderful to me.

If I wrote in a readable way my hands hurts after a couple of minutes, luckily we have computers now. 😋👍
