  • Yeah i’m the world’s worst listener and I absolutely hate it so I’m always trying to find ways to fix it. I can watch entire season runs without knowing what happened. I’ve been known to go to the cinema and leave without having paid attention to a single thing. I’ve listened to literally hundreds of podcasts but don’t bother any more because there’s just no point. Five minutes at best and my mind goes elsewhere.

    Ironically if there’s something else I’m trying to focus on and there is a TV or something happening in my peripheral I often can’t tune it out… lol


  • OK I’m sold - I hear a lot of good things about OneNote but I struggled to understand the appeal on first glance. If it is good enough that you can find notes that far back then that could work well for me.

    Btw Planner is great if you haven’t used it. It’s designed as a collaborative tool but I use it mostly as a way of keeping track of where I am with various tasks. I put it in my startup folder so it comes up as soon as I log on. I’ll make checklists and basically talk to myself via card comments. Comments are timestamped and are forwarded to outlook so it’s a better way of logging things than my usual method of digging through old Outlook messages. It has a couple of shortfalls but its really keeping me sane at the moment





  • Not dead but definitely on life support. I really do miss old forums. Reddit / Discord / Fediverse don’t come close to the old community feel. Facebook groups aren’t so bad sometimes for that but then the content is organised terribly. Say what you will about forum search engines but I could always rely on being able to enter a keyword or two and get what I was looking for.

    A lot of forums I frequented were actually pretty well organised with subforums. It just isn’t the same these days.

    Also web forums were the absolute best for petty drama. I do miss that in a weird way. Always that one angry gatekeeper flaming everyone.
