Yeah…unless you don’t do the thing at the assigned time. For me, it is lost forever at that point.

I actually use my calendar as my diary, too. Therefore, I can go to specific days to see what my thoughts were. The Notes app gets unorganized quite fast.

Adds a lot of pressure :/

I did; Syncthing.
You need it on your nas and on your phone, you need to specify the folder you want to sync, and it's target on the NAS, alongside setting up the usual stuff when dealing with home network storage. Whenever you are connected to your home network, it will sync those folders to your NAS.

It's only like a dollar a month for more storage than most people would ever need

With mine, dishes got to be noticeably soapy smelling, especially plastic ones, and especially if you microwaved it. It was very off-putting to me, which is why I looked into it to see what was happening. I was already running the extra rinse cycle, so there weren’t a lot of options left.

I do this with reminders to follow up on an email. Just keep snoozing it

Physically crossing things off the to-do list when they are done is a dopamine hit.

I have a method taught by a man who went to one of Canada’s top business schools with really good grades. I create a deadline for myself, and then take a picture of myself in an embarrassing situation, which I then authorize a notary to mail to family and friends in the event that I do not provide proof of my completed task.

Same problem. I tried this approach for a while and it didn’t work for me. Eventually I switched to a To Do app and for some reason that seems to work a bit better for my habit and routine.

Trello is what you want. It’s Atlassian’s simplified version of Jira

Thank You! What a perfect timing considering I spent half of today emptying my drive.

I thought they smelled like detergent because they were clean. Gotta check my machine

A robot that can regurgitate words and write fully functional code (75-95% of the time) is not called "just" a chatbot.
It can also write essays, sometimes better then actual humans, tell you how to troubleshoot electronics or fix them yourself sometimes, and tell very convincing stories.
All of which are strikingly human qualities.
Plus the fact that it's not a chat bot in the way where it works in threads and can be instantly erased basically and reset back to start by starting a new thread.

I definitely agree on the distinction between the "todos". However I do find that I need to see it all in one place for me to function. Even reminders and tasks have dates and times that interfere with calendar appointments. Still looking for an app that integrates everything flawlessly. Right now I'm using ticktick for tasks (and can see my calendar with the tasks at least). Reminders I do on Google calendar (through smart speakers mainly). Works pretty well.

Google is shady though because I have mass deleted as well as deleting many large files from docs and photos and the memory bar thing has not changed AT ALL. And I've heard the same thing from others. They just want you to buy more storage.

Somebody might have undiagnosed executive function issues. This is me, and I do. It's purely the guilt that keeps me even relatively on track.

I wish that I had kept my old messages. I had a hotmail that I used in high school and when gmail launched I thought to myself "I'll never need that old stuff" and I let it expire.
I would love to go back and read the emails I was sending in high school.
That said - if there was a filter to mass delete everything in the "promotions" folder - I'd jump on that.

Pls tell me what do you do? LOL you are regurgitating words, phrases, ideas, and concepts you have absorbed and trained your mind on since you were capable of, with some minimal change from individual capabilities.
Most people most of the time, including me and you, will never create anything beyond that dataset.
You really overestimate the human mind nature. Especially for people below 120IQ lol

Especially good for less-frequent tasks. "Clean the dishwasher filter" is set for the 5th of every month.
