Generally I keep two different lists. One is for things I have to do on at a specific time (generally by day). This is often work related things, appointments, etc
Then I have a list for “Someday Maybe”. The wording of this is important. At the moment I add the task it feels pretty important, but often that feeling fades. I purposefully let that list cook for a while and come back to it one a weekly basis. If the thing still seems exciting I’ll pick it up.
This is pretty vague and not exactly how I do things day to day, but the key points are: reframing some tasks as “someday” or “maybe”. That reduces guilt if I don’t end up doing them but even more importantly it reduces mental clutter. It’s on paper so I can forget about it for now and refocus on the moment
Often, i will go to science fiction (Rudy Rucker) to "drink from the well" and generate some inspiration for new ideas, projects, etc. This is one of the real-life sources that gives me that same feeling.
It's just amazing and awe inspiring to see something that felt truly "out of the future". You can probably draw lines to existing inventions and research but to me, this felt like he lived in the world where this technology already existed and was giving us a glimpse.
I can't agree with this more. I've never been able to "think" my way into a good idea. I always have to daydream and have an idle mind about it for a while
Very polished, I'm impressed! It seems like everyone ends up recreating a PM or todo tool at some point. It makes me wonder if there could be a world where we have a standard protocol/api and then anyone can bring their own preferred interface?
To add some detail here. The features it offers (tickets, wiki, chat, forums, etc) are stored within the repo, unlike github or gitlab where those things may be separate.
Basically, if you have the repo and the fossil binary you have everything. Is this better? I never saw a lot of advantages in my style of work, but i could see this being huge for someone who has intermittent connectivity. Or maybe someone who wants to use the ticket tracking, etc without setting up a separate server or public instance.
I just love that fossil exists and there is a diversity of opinion on how things can work.
A lot of them are configured by literally scanning settings. These "settings" barcodes are often left out in the open, or east to recreate. I used to have a "cheat sheet" when i managed scanners in a warehouse

One of the nifty features is it has wifi so you can "talk" cw over the internet (vband), but also to a training "qso bot" as well
