What’s your #1 go-to button in the panel, and what comes in second?

These might look #lazy, but are actually reasonable strategies:

- resist pointless #tasks to create time for deep thinking,
- set #boundaries at work to avoid #burnout,
- say “no” to tasks, resisting that we should always strive to #produce more,
- automate #repetitive tasks to free up time for #creative tasks.

Turn your emails into Calendar events.

Did you receive an email with tickets to an event, an assignment you need to complete, or something else that you need to keep track of? There’s a super easy way in Vivaldi Mail to turn any email into an event or task in the Vivaldi Calendar.

To create a new event from an email message:

1. Right-click on a message in the Mail list or on the open message itself.
2. Select “Add to Calendar”.
3. Choose whether to add the message as an event, task, or invite*.

By the way, it also works with Feeds’ posts and selected text on a web page.

*Adds email recipients as invitees to the event.

I've released a new version of taskfinder (2.6.0), a TUI to aid in task management.

This one brings two new features:
- "Tasks" mode, where you can view all incomplete tasks (by due date/priority) or all completed tasks (by completed date/priority).
- The ability to ignore specified directories.

It's also now available as a flake thanks to a community contribution.

Tip #649

Keep your Vivaldi Calendar organized by creating separate calendars for tasks and events.

Just like you can group your Bookmarks and Notes into folders, you can also divide the events and tasks in your Vivaldi Calendar into separate calendars. An immaculately organized calendar is a joy to work with.

To add a new calendar:

1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Calendars.
2. Click on + “Add Calendar” at the bottom of the list of calendars.
3. If relevant, select which account you want to add the new calendar to.
4. Give the calendar a name and a color.
5. Choose whether to allow just events, tasks, or both.
6. Click “Create Calendar”.

In my search for #notes taking applications, and especially to help me track #tasks , where I was mostly looking at #Trilium, #joplin #joplinapp , and eyeing a bit #obsidan #ObsidianMD (it's not open source, and for work use would be paid), I just learned about #SilverBullet . It's certainly intriguing, but I'm not sure yet what I think about it

(Feel free to engage with this post with advice etc, I guess it is me asking)

Can anyone recommend an open source #tasks app for #Android that handles recurring tasks well? "Tasks" will never notify me again until I mark the task complete. Same with #Orgzly and Orgzly Revived. And with both I have to "catch up" if I miss it more than one day in a row.
