For a long time, I was looking for a solution to keep track of my ideas, tasks, projects, and long-term goals. Of course, I already wrote down important things before to not forget them and have them ready when I wanted to work on them. However, I scattered these notes across various places: sometimes as handwritten notes, sometimes in an app on my smartphone, sometimes a simple text editor on my desktop PC was sufficient, or they ended up in the cloud of some free web service. Ideally, even in my self-hosted Nextcloud instance. Thus, I successfully transformed the chaos in my head into digital clutter. Congratulations, Tim.

For some time now, I have been using a self-hosted instance of ChangeDetection.io, which actively notifies me as soon as websites on my watchlist change.

Have you noticed this too? We allow ourselves to be distracted far too often in everyday life. Whether we’re constantly picking up our smartphone or talking to nice colleagues at the coffee machine. There’s no question: procrastination can sometimes even be fun, but frequent distraction usually has a negative impact on our well-being and productivity.
