My recent random thoughts

Normal tagging is verry arbitrary and does not scale to many users which would then also need to communiciate, furthermore the best tags are for objects not topics which is pretty much what Clye links are for

PDF erzeugen für Flyeralarm -> Inkscape

Flyeralarm ist sehr anspruchsvoll was die PDF angeht und alle möglichen online converter oder der direkte Export von Figma funktionieren nicht. Was aber zumindest für Flyer funktioniert ist das man in Inkscape nutzt:

• In den Dokumenteeinstellungen
• Die richtige Größe wählt
• Das Generic CMYK Profil auswählt
• Dann das was man drucken möchte z.B. als SVG oder auch als PDF importieret
• Es auf den bereich anpasst (z.B. mit den X, Y, B, H inputs in der oberen leiste)
• Es dann als PDF exportiert
• Dabei die DPI auf über 100 stellen da es sonst zu gering für Flyeralarm

Das PDF geht dann und wird von Flyeralarm akzeptiert

Disadvantages of Timeblocking that made me ditch it all together

• Frequent Changes - often times something happens that I could not have planned but disrupts my plan and triggers replanning
• Not a full solution - i have to maintain some kind of project list, habit plan and other stuff besides it, which time boxing does not help with
• Unpredictable concentration ability - I often switch tasks which is just more overhead when timeboxing
• better alternatives with less overhead exist like My Productivity System

I also used Reclaim.io and some other tool in hope to optimize it, but the problem is mostly one of agility and beeing able to use ne information effectively which ist not well supported. For me that means in practice I only plan in such high detail as it is required for tools like reclaim.io. when I ether must do ist or I decided on it beeing the most impactful thing I can do. Planning more than one time ahead in such high resolution did not help me in Pratice and just slowed me down or distracted me (which often lead to me ignoring it all together which often was the right call). I now follow My Productivity System

My use of the Google Calendar ist fairly simple, I use it to schedule everything with a specific date and every planned interaction. I however do not schedule Todos or Timeblocks anymore because they had several disadvantages in my experience.

For Tasks, Todos, Communication, Notes and most things inbetween I use Clye. I always plan in Fixed Intervals with increasing accuracy. This means I have one card with goals for given time intervals. Those intervals are life, next birthday with a zero, year, month and week as well as day. I always try to create the card for the next interval as pretty much the last thing I do in the previous interval. This means I end my workday by looking at the daily card. I then look at what I achieved and what i wanted to do, reflect on it, write down what I learned and plan for the next day also looking at the week goals. I do the same for weeks, months and so on. This way I always wake up knowing exactly what I should do and can concentrate on getting it done.

Cards are not always formatted the same way, but most follow this template. I normally try to keep the Mus section empty by not procrastinating tasks for that long, this way I am less stressed because I chose to do it and I could have chose otherwise without feeling guilty.
