The browser battle: In my opinion, Comet has better functionality, and Dia has the better UI right now.
My whole feed is filled with posts about Dia and Comet. Meanwhile, I am back using Vivaldi and happier than ever
Last week I sat on a plane for 5 hours. Offline availability suddenly made so much sense!
If I knew Vivaldi had so many features I would have jumped into it earlier
Vivaldi browser is actually a great alternative if you are looking for an arc alternative
I really want the future of productivity apps to be integrations and not one application trying to do everything.
Everytime I open Linkedin it feels like everyone is just one step away from becoming the president. Does anyone else feel the same way?
I am so impressed with @ReadwiseReader, it is probably the best overall read it later application!
I think reviewing your productivity system and making changes to it is best when you are off work for a while, like a summer break. That gives you time to incorporate the new changes and get used to them in a low-pressure environment.
Don't get into a situation where your PKM system is more work than your actual job.
The best way to become a better note-taker is not Zettelkasten or any other fancy note-taking method. It is just spending more time on your notes
Kobo, @readwise, and the note-taking app have been game changers for my reading, note-taking, and retention
Me having a shiny new tool syndrome is a problem. The company behind my productivity tool having a shiny new tool syndrome is a nightmare. Rebuilding three times in three years cannot be the way to go.
More apps need to have an integration with readwise! It makes note taking so much easier!
The biggest problem that most productivity applications have is that they add too many features, and the app gets bloated
I have been skeptical about Readwise because of the price, but honestly, if you can afford it, it is definitely worth it
