  • At work I use outlook tasks with some custom integer fields to prioritise work. Everything is basically numbered to get higher priority things up the list and more visible but I also use the due date and reminder time to organise what needs to be done when (some high priority things need to wait on external input so while they are still my focus I won’t look back at them til the reminder day). I don’t really need to plan time on my work tasks but if I did I’d probably add another column that added a scale estimate, I probably wouldn’t use a specific time period but more use the old scrum method of scaling tasks. Sadly I think outlook tasks is going to be discontinued soon and migrated to the inferior Microsoft planner. When that happens I guess Ill either move to excel or my home method.

    For home stuff I build ToDo lists in Obsidian and share that across devices using mega. I’ll generally have a few ToDos depending on context. That is I’ll have a long term one for big things I want to do but then will also build ones focused on more specific things like housework that needs to be done that day or things I need to do for my ongoing house renovation. If the list is for something complex I might build it at high level and then expand our a given section when it gets closer to working on that task. I also use Obsidian for weekly meal planning and shopping lists.






  • I see things sometimes and I’m like yeah i should read that and I bookmark it and then its gone to the void, never to be heard from again. On my phone I leave the tab open and its the same thing, but pretty regularly I go in and maybe bookmark some, or just kill the rest. If i don’t read it then and there, its unlikely I’m working my way back to find the thing. Even if i save a post, its rarely getting a look in. Sometimes I look at my youtube watch later videos, but I’m probably not saving anything on current events in that.



  • Sorry, I’ll be honest, I find your browsing methods offensive, I think 2185 tab is ridiculous and you should be shutting that shit down, looking at my wife’s phone with 150 tabs makes me anxious and I avoid it … but then it also occurs to me that you should be doing you.

    I don’t know of a keyboard shortcut that could find your previous tab, but you were on the tab recently, did you refresh it? could it be in your recent history? This makes me vomit in my mouth a bit … but could you open yet another tab with the same page from your browser history?

    Alternatively if your scroll position on the tab matters, could you use the down arrow to the right of the infinite accordion of tabs at the top of your window and use the “Search Tabs” option to find the tab using the name of the site from your search history?
