I often find my self in the middle of writing something, spot some things that should changed or get some ideas, and intend on going back to it after I'm done with what ever I'm currently doing. And then I get sidetracked and forget about it.

Then theres times where I can't think of anything else to do off the top of my head and a list of todos would be handy.

I've used notepad to write quick bullet points but that is pretty limited in success. What I need is some kind of productivity system that would allow me to quickly add/remove stuff in an organized manner. Teach me senpai, how do I organize my shit?

https://www.amazon.com/Time-Management-System-Administrators-Working/dp/0596007833 - probably not that good, although I appreciated it. The core advice is "sort tasks by t'now, tomorrow, and fucking never"

I take notes and associate them with one another using this.

https://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree/

Specifically I use an indentation list like I used to in grade school, in the program it is automatically formatted to different arrow symbols when I tab them


- Subject 1
    - sub item 1
        - subsub item 1
    - sub item 2

You can link to other sections of notes, insert code blocks with scrolling, and other things.

For multi component projects I lay them out in the note tree as I do on disk, i.e.

>project name

>>project component 1

>>>project component 1 notes

...

I also use whatever graphical program for drawing things sometimes.

Here's something from something I'm actually working on, not just their demo image. It's a webdev hobby project so no bully.

Thanks lads I'll look into all of this stuff later on in the day.

What is the cucked DNS? What is the non-cucked DNS?

>>846844

This looks like the best thing so far. What I'd really want is some sort of thing that lets me make quick flow charts and scribble notes and stuff on it like it was on paper. With the ability to scale and move stuff around.
