I was referring to the claim that "we haven't had X and we survived" in general. I wasn't trying to prove that higher levels of surveillance increase survivability. However, yes, that argument makes sense to me. It may m

This is rather unhelpful comment. People struggle with productivity, some suffer from chronic procrastination. There is nothing wrong with trying to improve one's productivity.

I have developed a habit of checking my calendar while brushing my teeth in the morning. This ensures that I keep track of events for the day and the week. I have ADD and constantly forget about birthdays, meetings, and plans. The first thi

What makes your todo app different from all the other todo apps? What's the value of it? As for the feedback - the app doesn't seem to work. Maybe you're developing it in production, and I opened it while you were editing som

I like the design and that there's the demo widget. Clean and simple. However, on my screen I see black text on a black background, and I need to hover it to see any text at all. Have you considered adding a trial period? I'm very

One reason the Eisenhower matrix is a good productivity tool is that it's simple and fast. It doesn't leave much room for fiddling with it or optimizing the process. Many of today's apps are overly complex, allowing users to

I won't be using your app as we created our own, and it works for us, but I can list the features our users would be missing: import a list of tasks separated by newlines, copy the task list to clipboard, ability to re-order ta

You don't understand the problem because you don't experience it. Imagine spending decades of your life running on 30% of your capabilities. Advising chronic procrastinators to "just do it" is as effective as telling a p

I just use "search" on my Obsidian notes, and that's enough for me. Instead of zettelkasten, I would prefer to have AI hooked to my notes, which I can query like "Find my notes about Symfony request life cycle". I d

The site is full of good information, but I agree it feels too search-engine optimized. It's not well structured for a large portion of the target audience (ADD/ADHD people). Articles are too wordy, there are no article or section

That's an oversimplification. What you describe fits the behavior of a hedonistic procrastinator, but people procrastinate for many, many reasons.

Serious question, why not adopt one timezone globally? For some of us sunrise would happen at 10pm, for others on 4pm. So what? Wouldn't we just get used to it? Is there any rationale for anchoring start of the day between 4am-8am?

You mentioned physical size of monitors. Does it affect performance in your tests? I would be very, very surprised if performance on 27" 4k monitor was any different than on 42" 4k monitor. Maybe I'm not aware of some quirk?
