A few weeks ago I managed to sit down for a few hours to put all my ongoing tasks and projects in fucking project management software in order to be able to follow it up better. I’m now afraid of opening the software to look at the mountain of collected work therein.
I finally began to just purge everything, its a whole project trying to sell off my projects though so now my living room is a warehouse of boxes and bubbles wrap I’ve been bringing home from work
I’ve got so many dead tasks management tools that I spent a day setting up.
Oh, but have you tried [insert software that has 8-billion tools, all of which you ignore and you just use as a notepad]?
Look at all those things yesterday-me was interested in.

a lot of things neurodivergents do, neurotypicals do too.
it’s the intensity and obssession that differentiates it sometimes.
Nah, you just need to become the other kind of ADHD.
You could go through it and screenshot the interesting parts
Aye i will when I get a chance
I really need to set myself up on LinkWarden or linkding; it would solve at least 95% of this problem and my massive tab problem as well
Facts lol 😂
I will make that hoagie roll recipe I’ve had open for months, I’m just not ready yet
Now you’ve got to share it with us.

Ooo that looks good. I got into sandwich making as my hyperfocus for a while and I’d really like to make more.
Mmm MM!
Sandwiches is a good hyper focus. <3
I realized that even if the archive is unwieldy, the act of saving satisfies the itch. So I’m not saving to necessarily look at it later. I’m saving so that the annoying part of my brain fucks off and I can enjoy my day in peace.
I really appreciate this viewpoint. Most of the satisfaction I get is from bookmarking and organizing my bookmarks. That being said, I routinely go through my bookmarks and revisit things.
I managed to finish writing a poem after more than 6 months. I hope I can finish my academic paper soon as well. Man, life is fucking hard.
Go do 20 minutes on your paper.
What’s 20 minutes?
You got this!
Life is fucking hard, but a step at a time can make it more bearable. I believe in you SexualPolytope
Thanks lol. I do intend to finish by this weekend. But then I planned it last weekend too. Let’s see how it goes lol.
I better bookmark this post
I’m self-hosting Karakeep for exactly that reason, but… I still have well over 100 tabs in my mobile browser and write some things down in two separate note taking apps… Send help.
I’m self-hosting Karakeep for exactly that reason,
Oh my gosh what is this.
I want it.
This is going to end up an enormous chunk of my server space isn’t it. :3
I still have well over 100 tabs in my mobile browser
I think this is just a side effect of how mobile browsers seem to work. Every quick little lookup I do is in its own tab, and I close the browser instead of the tab when I’m done, so if you’re like me, it builds up to an absurdly high number very fast.
If I haven’t gone back through that list in like a month I just take a deep breath and hit “close all tabs”.
I’m gonna try this Karakeep though. I’ve tried traditional bookmarks in Firefox and…I never actually reference them. Lol
For me browser tabs are actually something like a 3rd note taking app, lmao. I look things up and leave the tab open so I don’t forget about it. And then I still forget about it for a year, lol.
I do neglect my Karakeep bookmarks, but I like it as a drawer I throw everything in. Kind of like a trash can, lol. It feels good to have a bunch of mess in its separate space with the added benefit of having lists and tags. The latter can also be automatically generated by LLMs. I use locally hosted ollama on my Arc, but it’s hit or miss depending on how large a model you can run. Smaller ones are more a miss than a hit.
Depends on what you enable with it. Want it to download YT videos you send it? That’s gonna required a lot of space
You just delete the screenshot folder whenbit gets intimidating. Most of them were of my lockscreen anyways.
Thank you. I read your comment, then held my breath and deleted nearly 10,000 screenshots.
I give it 6 hours until you desperately need some obscure reference number from 10 months ago
I give it 90 seconds after that moment until their searching for the old reference lands them on some new and better reference they’d rather use instead
I think they meant “reference number” like some sort of “remember this code if anything goes wrong or we won’t refund you” to return a product or something lol.
I think this is a major issue with such things though. There’s so much paper mail especially where it says “keep for your records” but it’s like… between some fuzzy limbo of necessity and garbage.
…so it either gets scanned to PaperlessNGX or gets stuffed in a “I want this stupid paper off my desk and I’m not sure if I should keep it” box that I’ll go through when it’s full. Lol
Hey now. It was 9 hours and I was fine until I saw your comment, then panicked and began rummaging in Recently Deleted. Aaaaand goddammit there’s some good shit in this bin
Damn, that a lot of can kicking you just got off the todo list.
And this is the sole reason for my MyMind subscription. 10% interesting maker projects, 90% funny memes and comics.
OK I take most of these on the chin but I gotta push back on this one because NTs could use it too.
Every picture in the database gets OCR + fuzzy-alt-text + facial-rec + geo-location + timestamp etc etc, all of which are indexed and searchable. Yet the entries themselves are effortless to produce once you’re in the habit.
Those breadcrumbs ultimately augment your functional capacity for recall, and can help you turn an incredibly vague hint of a memory into… voila! …an actual snapshot of that thing from the past.
So it’s not some kind of magpie hoarding behavior necessarily.
It’s note-taking, receipt-keeping, evidence-gathering, and journaling that’s effortless and constantly useful.
