"Freedom from the known" - Jiddu Krishnamurti and "Power of Now" - Eckhart Tolle
I think it's healthy to pursue goals and improve your life situation. But don't let it become your identity or expect lasting peace from it.
The problem (IMHO) around notes, scheduling, and productivity apps is that they have only subset of features that a given user needs. User workflows are very unique and diverse. Some may prefer calendar integration, some may not. Others may prefer inline image support while some only require text. The examples are endless. It seems inevitable that a note/scheduling/productivity app can only...

Would you publicly post price predictions/odds to get ranked alongside other traders via Brier scores?
My research has led me to this and from what you've said, you might be in the "lottery" zone despite trying to be a "sweepstakes".

I know tablets and e-readers are getting better all the time. But I still prefer physical books, esp if the material is technical or part of a textbook.Please share some tips if you have any?On a related note, would people be interested in a "book share" platform where people rent out/give away their old books for shipping fees only?For example, I think I'd gladly pay $2-4 via media mail...

I'm curious about differentiating between causes and symptoms. Seems like a complicated mix of privacy, increasing polarization, centralization/decentralization, ad incentives, just to name a few.
For me, the concepts "feedback loop from hell" and "expecting a positive is a negative" from the book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" were gamechangers.
Just got my mind blown by "Game Changers" on Netflix and all the world-class athletes eating plants only. For those who love meat, how did you make your transition easier?
Feedback welcome!
IMO, paper/pencil is great for spontaneous unrestricted flow and manual transcription has shown to be better for synthesis than typing. But the advantages of digital in terms of persistence and accessibility is just too great.
For me, the biggest issue of productivity apps is they don't distinguish between "timeful" data (tied to dates like deadlines or calendar events) and "timeless" data that are more for recall and knowledge store. That's why our tooling is fragmented between todos, calendars, storage, and editors (sheets, docs, etc).
Politicians/companies spew words and we tend to accept them bc they're "authorities." I believe the best way to increase "skin in the game", accountability, and humble expertise is to predict and have your predictive performance be visible.
There's prediction markets to trade real money with but none that I've seen that ranks your performance against others.
I'm building a platform where it's free to enter/submit predictions in categories of interest. Top ranked players will receive prizes.
I think once players can measure themselves against "authorities" (whose public predictions will be scraped), both will become more accountable.
After predictions, I aim to work on "promises" since they both increase future skin in the game.
