I’m in a bit of a productivity rut and whilst I suspect the issue is mainly between the keyboard and chair I’m also interested in what (FOSS) tools there are that people find effective.

One of my issues at the moment is cross managing different workstreams particularly with personal projects which are more in the “if I have time category”.

I’m interested in anything that helps manage time or limit distractions or anything that makes it easier to keep track of progress/next steps for project when there may be a bit of a time gap between.

    Zettlr for technical writing into any format.

    Obsidian for a second brain based on the molecular notes method. And yes, I’ve tried all of the FOSS alternatives. None are ready to replace Obsidian yet.

    Wallabag for saving resources offline for easy and permanent reference.

    Lunarvim for actually sitting down to work instead of fiddling with and optimizing my setup.

        I haven’t tried Obsidian, but I use Logseq all the time. What do you think is holding Logseq back? I’m just curious.

        I know for me the mobile app lacks some polish and it lacks plugins, which is annoying.

          Plugin support is a huge thing, obsidian does this so good. Also, tags are pretty cool, not sure if logseq has them. Do I remember correctly that Logseq does not store your stuff in a pure mix of markdown and directories, or was that another App?

          Honestly, I just found the android app incredibly clunky and annoying to navigate. I’m hoping it’ll improve with time, because I would like to move to a FOSS solution.
