Journalist Mode – How I Get Things Done
- er_d0s 5y agoThis is basically how I cram as much productive work into a day that I can, with the goal of strategically dealing with rabbit holes, context switch, constant learning etc. I've been doing this on paper for ages but I broke my wrist, I couldn't hold a pen but I could type so I figured I'd make it into a thing, polish it up and put it out into the world. The name comes from Cal Newports book Deep Work, where he's talking about professions where you need to constantly switch between going really deep on a task, but are constantly needing to context switch... which I think applies to a lot of people in tech. You'll probably want to skim the medium post linked from the website so it makes sense. Hope someone gets some use out of it :)
- surrTurr 5y agoInteresting program, I downloaded it. Where can I find a documentation of all the available keyboard shortcuts? I pressed some buttons and now I'm only able to write completed items...
- er_d0s 5y agoI got a bit excited and uploaded it before thinking about that, I've added some context menus but it's basically cmd+shift+j open doing cmd+shift+k open todo cmd+shift+l open distractions esc hide shift enter - complete task
- er_d0s 5y agoWait, do you mean new tasks start out completed? Can you describe the problem in a bit more detail? You can email me at dirk@dirkdirk.com :)
- er_d0s 5y agoJust deployed a new version with the shortcuts in Help > Keyboard shortcuts & updated the website to say "alpha"! :)
- surrTurr 5y agoThanks, I’ll check out the updated version!
