Super exhausted now. Some of the failed (red) tasks were crucial and are really going to bite me in the arse, and I didn't even get half a day for a relaxing walk or something. 0 income generated, 0 rest, just catching up at least 80 % on general life stuff. Had to skip all work-out, too (usually 3x per week).

I think you did great. I don't think there's much point beating yourself up about this, that's a while bunch more ticks than crosses. If anything, I might suggest that you didn't do enough for your own personal well-being but... Life does that.

Seriously, I know you're annoyed about this, but congratulations on getting as much done as you did, it's genuinely an achievement.

Thanks! I realise just now how utterly hopeless it would have been without meds to get things done. Never stood a chance back then. Back in the day, I would have tried to wing it without list, and thought like: "Nice, all week off. Just these two letters and the email and the obvious stuff."

Then I would have procrastinated on that, and all the forgotten extra things would have hit me randomly like a micro adrenaline shocks.

That's a wild amount of work you got done though, great job!

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 months ago

That looks like more work than I do in a year. If that's your "week off", I don't wanna see a "normal" week of yours.

At first I thought this was a sentence structure diagram of One Week by Barenaked Ladies.

Dude, you do really seem like you've got things figured out though

Not a bad looking FOSS app. But if these two are the same that means it hasn't been updated since 2016, is that right?

[-] moonpiedumplings@programming.dev 7 points 4 months ago

Yeah. But it's written in java so it's gonna stay working forever.

[-] AddLemmus@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

Let's hope. The original freemind that I use does not work with current JRE versions, needed to get an old one just for that. Not sure why things are incompatible, maybe for really old stuff where programmers felt like they needed to use the internal com.sun packages?

Seems like there are already containerised builds of freemind bundled with JRE, lol.

[-] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

I was going to suggest a container. Give that a shot and see if you can get it working as a container. It will likely make it easier.

According to Wikipedia, this is a fork of FreeMind and it seems to be actively maintained: https://github.com/freeplane/freeplane

wow didn't know it, thanks!

[-] isleepinahammock@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

I would also be curious to know.

[-] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

Holy shit! I thought I was busy.

No judgment to you but this is why I'm not having kids lol.

[-] AddLemmus@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

Yes, how much is for the kid? I'd say about 80%, including most of the household.

Wow! Well, good for you, raise em right! Too many dummies running around.

Fuck smith, no letter for him

I found that sometimes it’s best to not add extra tasks that linger beyond the allotted timeframe. E.g. deliberately having a mode where you are completely done with your tasks is important to me. I don’t know if all of your todos were essential for that week. But i‘d try not filling my schedule to the brim if possible. With the deliberate goal of having time left. Otherwise you will always have residual open tasks and this is something that makes me feel down, independent of the things that I actually achieved that week.
