    I’m in this pic and I hate it. I would have like 20 albums written if I would just sit down and turn the clever concept/title and couple of stanzas into an actual fucking song. Instead what I do is open GDrive and get paralyzed at the sight of the burgeoning directory structure and immediately log off, if I even get that far.

    I have 1192 tabs open in my mobile browser. I hope, I read all those articles in this lifetime.

    Before, I was able to read so much. I finished Count of Montecristo in 10 days. Nowadays, I can’t even read more than 3 pages a day.

    My life hack for that is to just never close any tabs.

    (Reboots)

    Browser: There are 496 tabs in your previous session. Are you sure you want to restore?

    Me: Did I stutter?

      I want an extension that simply saves every page I open into a new page in a specific OneNote notebook. Yea, most would be crap, but the storage is trivial, and the search capability would be awesome.

      Plus it would sort of serve as my own timeline.

        I have a local daemon and browser extension doing something like that on my desktop machines.

        In case you’d like to do the same, here are some time savers:
        1. More of a heads up but storage requirement will never be trivial, even with fs compression. Browsers limit resource cache for a reason.
        2. Unless OneNote has some kind of page nesting functionality beyond the usual outline/TOC tagging, typical browser-history population and web page length can lead to an infinitely-scrolling, memory eating, difficult to use note.
        3. It is easier to lean on existing browser and filesystem functionality by printing to PDF and optionally attaching wherever (such as onenote) for a number of reasons.
        4. Visual consistency of the print render will vary, but the PDF approach uses existing render in situ and is the only page snapshot commonly supported by progressive web applications.

        Besides PDF, the most consistent local full-page, full-asset save I’ve found is the .archive format. It’s used in the Safari browser for local saving and is the basis for features like “Add to reading list.” Archive appears to be something like a zipped wget directory but includes additional session state information for future page recreation. I save both PDF and Archive formats and browse using filesystem rather than another app like onenote.

        If you’re on Windows, this appears to be the aim of their W11 Replay feature. Just be aware that it (and really that entire operating system) comes with a lot of privacy-related quid pro quo.

        Edit: mention .archive format

          Tab Stash only saves the links.

          Right now I save pages directly to OneNote on Android, and simply copy/paste the page content on desktop.

          This retains the page content, so it’s searchable later.

      TFW one or more of those tabs leaks memory, so your browser crashes every few hours even with 64GB of RAM.

    Oh man I think about this a lot. I have some thoughts.

    1. The more complicated of a system, the less likely you are to use it.
    2. Complicated systems are self defeating.
    3. A system you use is always better than a perfect system you don’t.

    I try to make notes about where my previous notes are when I make new ones so I don’t lose them.

    I try to keep one or two physical ways to jot things down. I use a boogie board and a pocket journal. I use a disposable flimsy one. The temporary look of it helps me not treat it as some perfect log book that needs a perfect system. Avoid any and all “bullet journaling” tips lol. That’s a road to complexity. My system is:

    1. If I need to remember something, I write it down.
    2. If I don’t need to remember it anymore, I cross it out. If a page has nothing I need to remember and no real room for new still, I rip it out.

    For digital notes I use Google Keep on my phone and an Obsidian Workplace in a synced folder for Google Drive. I DO NOT stress about making perfectly organized Obsidian documents that link to each other. I just write what I need as I need it. My Obsidian stuff is a little more organized but I sort of haven’t used it in a while.

    All forms of this is your way of communicating with your future self and how your future self will look for messages from you. Viewing it like this helps make it clear what sort of things you need to keep track of and also sort of sounds cool so it makes it exciting.

    I’ve got 19,347 links saved in my current Read Later app. How often do I actually open it to get back to something? At most once a month for one thing, usually less.

        That’s one way of looking at this if your mindset is negativity.

        I prefer to exercise positive intent and I see this as possibly someone with ADHD not knowing whether this particular trait is their ADHD or just a thing.

        I have ADHD and I am often like this, it makes you question your identity, especially if diagnosed later in life like me.

        Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people, but that doesn’t mean they don’t affect ADHD people in a debilitating way.

        It’s like heart palpations can be a sign of a heart attack or a panic attack.

          Exactly.

          Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people,

          They key is “occasionally” - for someone with ADHD these traits are pretty much constant, never go away. Medication and practice may reduce their impact, and you may find ways to mitigate/compensate, but the underlying trait is always there, waiting for you to become complacent.

          A neurotypical person rarely understands how much effort is put in just for something mundane.

            Wait, are you saying that reconciling my checking account while two unrelated trains of thought (accompanied by a random song) run through my head is not something that everyone deals with?\s

              I was just posting about this in the last day or two, but my ADHD brain also likes to keep music or a conversation going in my head. And I always sought out talk to listen to, like podcasts. But I have found that the right sort of music is a great tool to help occupy the ADHD brain and let my conscious executive functions like, do stuff.

      I do not have ADHD.

      I do not do this.

      I keep everything open as live tabs.

        I also do not have ADHD and do not do this, much.

        I keep tabs open until I’m done with them or am setting those ideas aside. I’ll keep them around longer if it was hard for me to find, otherwise I trust that I’ll be able to find the information again. I can’t actually remember the last time I bookmarked a website, although with how shitty search engines are becoming, I might start doing that again to avoid having to slog through AI shit sites to find a site again.
