I got my laptop back from the repair shop. They said I really needed to replace the internal keyboard and touchpad components, but I just disabled them and stuck on an external keyboard and mouse.

Then I played Sims 4 for about four hours. Fun!

Late to the thread, but Sims 4!

I have 68 games in my Steam library that I haven't touched.

On the other hand, I just finished Monument Valley 2 this weekend!

Lately, I've been using Standard Notes for writing blog posts in Markdown.

I'm @[email protected], and my interests include open-source software, shounen anime, cozy videogames, and writing.

Cozy endless games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, or Sims 4, where I can just get lost in the gameplay and don't have to stress out over objectives or missions.

I like being ace. It does suck that in my home country, most people think that asexuality doesn't exist.

A friend of mine asked me to take a Kinsey scale quiz for fun, and the result was that I was asexual. Then my friend said that didn't seem right, so I retook it and it said I was bisexual.

It ws only when I met my boyfriend and developed feelings for him that I figured out: A) I think people are sexy, regardless of gender (hence my initial confused identification as bisexual); and B) I don't need or want to have sexual intimacy with anyone, ever. Physical intimacy is fine, though.

107 books. Why did I do this to myself?

Lemmur's been abandoned, so as far as I know, Jerboa is the only option on Android right now 😢

Zorin was my first distro, and I agree that it works great out of the box!

I switched to Linux Mint later, but I can't remember exactly why. Linux Mint is nice to use too.

I would very much like to delete my Google Account, but alas, I have to use it for work and some Very Important accounts.

When I was still in school, I used to buy physical books and magazines from local bookstores.

Nowadays, I buy e-books, mostly from Humble Bundle.

No, I just got confused with the wording OTL

Oh... the wording confused me. Whoops!

I don't think lemmy.one is deferated from Beehaw; I'm subscribed to one community there.

1st edit: I forgot this community isn't on Beehaw.

2nd edit: Here's a link of all the instances that Beehaw is federated with, and lemmy.one is one of them. sopuli.xyz and feddit.de too.

3rd edit: Apparently, I'm Jared, 19, and I cannot read. Sorry about that!

I've been wanting to try Ironsworn since it launched, but I always get distracted 😅

Ever since I took on a new role at work, I've been busy attending more meetings with Very Important People than before. For someone like me who prefers not have the attention of Very Important People, it's nerve-wracking.

TL;DR: an app won't solve your problem, but learning to organize yourself will

At the risk of overstepping, I'll say this:

If you have a problem with organization (or lack thereof), a calendar app will only help you so far. You can still miss an appointment by swiping away a notification or neglecting to jot down the appointment in the first place. Software are just tools: they won't magically transform you and your habits.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a productivity expert or anything; I'm just applying what I've learned so far in life.)

First, think about your current internal system of keeping track of things. How is information getting lost? Why is it getting lost. From what I've read, disorganization is just a symptom of a deeper, underlying issue. In my case, I just didn't like thinking about things I didn't want to do or didn't consider important, so I didn't bother noting them down. So how did I remedy that? I have a notetaking app (Simple Notes or Markor) that's empty by default and placed in my phone favorites bar/dock. As soon as I need to jot down something, it goes there. Once I can take my time, I review what I've jotted down and decide my next steps. When the tasks are done, the app gets cleared.

Second, think about what has worked for you in the past. Are there things that you managed to remember, and what helped you remember them back then? Personally, I remember things when I see them often, so writing down tasks in my notetaking app already works. However, for things that have set or faraway schedules, they get moved to apps with persistent notifications (Tasks.org and Simple Calendar, synced with EteSync).

Third... rinse and repeat. You may find that your new system still has gaps. That's just part of learning how you best organize. Don't be afraid to experiment, but don't forget, and I cannot stress this enough, that SOFTWARE ARE JUST TOOLS. If an app doesn't work for you, then it just doesn't fit you, period. It's not a failing of the developer or you. Once you find an organization system works for you, you'll find that it's so natural that it's just second-nature. What apps to use will come after.

I'm sorry for the long comment and that this wasn't what was asked, but I felt that this needed to be said. I do hope it helps you in some way.

Ace! I think people are hot, but I don't want to do the nasty with any of them.
