I read most of the articles from the bottom up nowadays. Most of the writers don’t get straight to the point because they click bait too much and they know that they have to fill up their articles with as much bullshit as possible in order to compensate for the lack of relevant content. If the article is long enough you might fall for the trap of wanting to save it for later rather than dismiss it completely.
The sole mission is to bait you into that cost-per-click and cost-per-thousand-impressions profit generator, that’s it.
I use notion.so and it's by far the best note taking app that I have ever used. No more botched copy-pastes with weird fonts or colours like with OneNote or Evernote. Notion.so forces a clean structure on all my notes and it works with markdown by default (you can also export markdown).
On rare occasions it might fail to get the photos from a copy paste'd article, but I can easily solve that with: fuckyeahmarkdown.com
There are a ton of other features that this web app (+desktop app as well) offers, but it would take a a long block of text to explain.
- Kanban boards
- Unlimited subfolders
- Bookmarks
- To do lists
- Spreadsheets
- Templates
- Etc
I'm not going back to OneNote or Evernote ever again. They were so clunky for me that I wouldn't even go back to read my notes, especially on the horrendous OneNote web app. Not to mention that the infinite space/scroll (unstructured) approach by OneNote was actually a big headache for me due to the fact that I was writing my sections of text all over the place.
"having separate devices for separate activities" This is the answer. My tablet has successfully replaced my PC when it comes to reading twitter feeds, techcrunch and other IT related content. On top of that, i find myself using it only in bed, for 30-50 minutes, right before i put myself to sleep. I am now planning on buying another PC just for work, place it in another room and get rid of the distractions for at least 8 hours per day. In the past i was using Dexpot for managing multiple desktops, but i found out that the temptation of switching and browsing through garbage content was still pretty high.(not just web content, but my own content as well) I'm working on it...
