Softwares which you use regularly, and which improve your workflow. I'll start
1. Anki
2. Caliber
3. Obsidian
4. Todoist

The NSA's most productive software
your brain is hardware, not software, anon
No you dumb fucking dumb nagger gorilla moron. The brain is SOFT. The skull is HARD. Did you actually think when you touch your head you’re feeling the hardness of the brain?? Holy shit you’re the dumbest monkey nagger gorilla I have ever seen…
>not offloading memorization unto computers
You are wasting brain RAM.
AutoHotkey script to capture a screenshot/list all open windows in a log file, every 5 minutes. Can be surprisingly handy
Elaborate.
Here's the script.

Not the how, retard. Elaborate the why.
You are a literal gorilla
why would you need this and how would it make you more productive?
I'm seriously confused anon, how does doing this help you be productive? Explain please.
Lmao imagine all the wageys with this fucking feature on their work laptops. Total wagecuck death.
1. Taskwarrior
2. NeoVim
3. LibreOffice
Xournal++ lets you simply copy anything in the page and paste it as an image elsewhere
Literally the most useful feature of any software ever
i wrote a bash script and bound it to a gnome hotkey that creates a md file with the current time and opens it in my default md editor with xdg-open.
fuck you, I'm too lazy to fucking start Obsidian and Logseq is retarded
Trilium Notes is a great note-taking app though I'm considering replacing it with Cherrytree just for aesthetic purposes
>my own bash+rofi scripts
>cinnamon DE (great workspace management)
1. Emacs
2. Anki
3. Nixos
4. Sway
how long do you think it will take for someone to get fully familiar with emacs?
I'm not there myself. I use evil mode and know just enough elisp to get by. If you know vim than you can get to this point pretty fast.
2 minutes, just use the menu and icons, literally no reason not to start right away
Dunno about bare Emacs, but probably a month or two if you use Doom Emacs.
cherrytree
rsync
google calendar
Anki and TickTick has been pretty good for me. I've used ticktick so much I'm in the top 99% percentile according to the app, which is fun to know
>use app = productive
Other than the more general stuff like text editors I use Anki for remembering things and Taskwarrior for keeping track of shit I need to do
What kind of decks do you have?
I'm preparing for national level entrance exam with it, i made a deck for last 25 year questions which has around 2500 cards. Other than that i use it for vocabulary building
only 2500 ? also what's the purpose of memorizing past year questions when you can just solve them instead ? why don't you make cards from the syllabus directly ?
its mostly theory, and a lot of questions are repeated every year. syllabus is quite huge to be honest, and it's not worth it to ho through it all that way
country ? also what subject ? is it a humanities related exam or something
fml
am I right ?
yup
lmao
I have never seen a non medical guy here using anki and even among them most of the people are those productivity shills running with like 500 cards
good luck brother, 6000 cards cuck sitting here
what are you using it for?
medicine
contrary to the popular belief, you actually need to have discipline for it and the way it is aesthetically advertised on youtube as this epic hack in studying is quite opposite in practice
not that it's efficient (you can practically memorize entire books and dictionaries on your fingertips) but if you quit things quickly then it may not be for you
nta, but most people I know irl that use anki use it for language learning. some bullshit 2-5k vocab deck based on frequency and sentence mining.
all of them hate it lmfao.
I've got a JLPT deck I'm slowly going through
SuperMemo 16 > all that garbage
If only the algorithms had documentation and/or the programs were open source. Cause Anki beats SuperMemo in every other metric, except for easier incremental reading support. No wonder it's more popular and not many have heard of SM. fsrs4anki seems to be promising for starting better algorithm development.
it's for masters course in computer science and automation, and only a few people in top 50 ranks get into that course, out of like 1 million people. you guess the country?
this one was for you not
Good luck Sir
I'm trying out vim-wiki since I use vim all day long. I still don't really get the point of "productivity" software/stacks. It just feels like pseudo-work that doesn't really accomplish things. But maybe that will change after a bit of time with vim-wiki
Can someone explain the mindset I need to have to let these strategies be effective for me? I never know what to write in things like Obsidian or the Zettelkasten shit. I want to get it, but I still just don't.
just use what seems useful/interesting to you but keep in mind no program will transform you into a 10x engineer or whatever. too many people turn "productivity" into a hobby and, imo, that's the biggest hit on your productivity imaginable.
I use mymind for bookmarks and small notes
Obsidian for longer notes
cron for calender
Microsoft Todo and a notebook for notes
Protonmail for mail
>GOYSLOP PROGRAM CONSOOMER GENERAL
I needed a couple apps for note taking
AnkiDroid: Anki (flashcards)
microMathematics Plus: graphing calculator, notebook
Comfort Reader: speed reader
Orgzly: org-mode with LaTeX
Linwood Butterfly: import PDF/pictures and draw
Markor: markdown/wiki/audio/pictures notes
Note Calendar: calendar, TODOs
Minidoro: pomodoro
Meditation Assistant: meditation, pomodoro
OpenReads: book catalog
Loop Habit Tracker: habit tracker
Also I have Emacs both on my desktop and my tablet (via termux). Make yourself a favor and get orgmode (Emacs) with LaTeX, you dont need to be a genius to use any of those just grab a cheatsheet from the webs and work with that.
Emacs with org-mode, Calibre, and a basic timer program. That's basically it.
P.S.
I've used Anki in the past and think it's good but I have no use for it anymore.
