How do you organize images you've collected? (e.g. memes, art, inspiration, etc)
I imagine most people don't save or just keep images together with the photos they've taken on their phones. But it would be nice to have a simple place to store and organize those images. I've...
I imagine most people don't save or just keep images together with the photos they've taken on their phones. But it would be nice to have a simple place to store and organize those images.
I've seen these recommendations: https://tildes.net/~tech/1l48/pinterest_alternatives , but I don't know if that's the best format. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. For now I only have a folder on iCloud with sub-folders. Quick and simple, syncs across devices, but not super organized.

ADHD and TODO lists

I hate TODO lists. Even when they're for a single day.
I inevitably put more in my TODO list than I can accomplish in a day. When the new day begins, and I see the tasks I did not accomplish before, I feel anxious, sad, and even ashamed. Then I find some of that anxiety is for how my partner will judge me for the unfinished tasks on my list that she tells herself she expected me to accomplish.
While I have worked on self-compassion for years, occasionally it is not there. I have worked on having boundaries between my partner's own issues and my mental health.
I wonder how others with ADHD, particular those with partners, cope.
EDIT: I started using an allegedly ADHD-friendly planner yesterday. These feelings came pouring out of me this morning, hence the post. Yet I've had these similar difficulties for years.

Follow-up to an earlier topic I made about my hunt for a privacy-respecting notes app

after the comments in my previous topic, I proceeded to try Notesnook and Joplin after having issues with Nextcloud Notes (that I have already documented in my previous post)
Notesnook ain't bad if it's your jam. I found it easy to use and quite nice U.I. the only dings against it (obviously subjective) is that it really isn't supportive of markdown in an easy way, you have to pay for it cause there's no self-hosting option and you have to pay for the ability to have more than 5 tags.
Joplin's only ding imo is just that it has no web browser interface, but beyond that, there's nothing else fuctionality-wise I can really count against it, the U.I. is rather dated but the functionality is so stable that I am more than willing to deal with a dated UI. and I can self-host using my nextcloud instance so that's a great plus in avoiding additional charge.
So I personally recommend Joplin if you don't care about a dated UI in order to avoid having to pay a subscription if you are willing to self-host.
In other news, by the time I finally imported all my Nextcloud notes to Joplin, the nextcloud Notes App had managed to wipe 60 of my notes empty. I love nextcloud and its let me do wonderful things but the notes app they have is incredibly buggy when combined with their android app and how they are trying to implement markdown support.

Thoughts on Notes/Blog/Personal Website Directory Structure

:wave: everyone, I've been thinking about where to put non-technical blog posts and what to call them since, so far, I have
bookmark/
,cheatsheet/
,howto/
,note/
,snippet/
andtutorial/
folders already[1].I think those cover most of the things I like writing about and I intend to share, but I also enjoy poetry, analyzing movies, political commentary and writing an essay here and there.
Following from that, I kept
essay/
,poem/
andcommentary/
around for whenever I felt like sharing some of my non-technical writings, but I don't like those folders :smile:. They seem way too granular, more akin to tags than categories, both of which are contained in each file's metadata.Tags, however, don't feel like a "pillar"/category of a Zettelkasten/ramblings/thoughts crate. They're empty at the moment and in
draft/
, so it's the perfect chance to do some re-structuring and avoid the issues I faced when I ditchedblog/category
and chose the current structure.In case you're asking yourself why I didn't put everything in the same folder, as they reflect categories and each
.md
file has category metadata already, it's because the drafts indraft/
became unmanageable (+120). So, in an effort to give myself an easier way to navigate and edit, I decided/folders
were going to reflect the categories that existed. I'm aware it can be that after note #50 or something I have the same problem, and thus it wouldn't have made a difference whether notes were together with tutorials or not. I've decided to deal with that problem when it arises :)I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts! Would you keep
essay/
,poem/
andcommentary/
or merge them into something else?note/
are short and wouldn't feel right for longer ramblings. I am not a big fan ofwritings/
as everything is a "writing",prose/
also doesn't quite fit and so far the only one I've sort of liked isreflection/
since essays, poems, and comments on happenings are the result of reflecting./rant over, I know, I'm overthinking it. Let those not guilty throw the first stone :)
[1] I've removed quite a bit of the irrelevant stuff but kept what I believe is relevant, but feel free to ask away in case something necessary is missing.
