Top Productivity Solutions – Find What Works Best For You
Hello everyone, welcome back to the Linustech-tipp-community. I've been exploring tools such as Notion, Obsidian, AFFiNE, and more recently — I'm wondering which ones you use to stay organized or handle your notes and tasks. What sparked your interest in trying them? How do they enhance your workflow or thinking? Would you suggest them to others here? Feel free to share examples, setups, or your own tips — I'd love to see how different people use these tools. Take care!
Notepad, a tangible notebook, organized folders with clear naming conventions and logical physical layouts. For digital, I can include a OneNote or Word doc for a concise summary and consider it sufficient.
I’m currently switching from Apple Notes to Obsidian once more. I told myself I wouldn’t keep making this change, but now it’s happening. I prefer Apple Notes because it feels straightforward, even though it offers many useful tools for organizing information. The main issue that keeps me hesitant is how it saves notes in a database, which worries me about its long-term reliability. Will it still be available in 20 years? Obsidian stores markdown files in a basic folder, allowing synchronization across devices and editing with any text editor. Some extensions also add features like a daily calendar note, which I find useful. However, handling media files is problematic and it doesn’t match Apple Notes’ advanced capabilities. My ideal tool doesn’t seem to exist, and I doubt it’s realistic. This keeps me feeling frustrated. One thing is clear—I dislike Notion too; it feels slow and awkward. I have no idea why it’s so popular. Probably most of the hype comes from paid videos, and I’m skeptical anyone would choose it freely. I don’t know a single person in real life who uses it.
Calendar for events and reminders, Todoist for shopping lists and some alerts, pen and paper for notes.
Handwritten summaries and reminders. Sticky labels and small office items like folders, whiteboards, etc. For digital tasks, I keep everything in organized folders with project notes, references, and citations. A clock or timer helps me avoid long hours at one place and ensures I take breaks. Anything extra adds extra effort beyond the usual.
Exactly! I work from home often, and being able to have like 8 proper windows at once is amazing. And whenever you open that Excel document, oh man, it is pure bliss. And gaming on this thing, yeah well, nothing comes close to it IMO
