Word to the wise: stay away from productivity bro YouTube. You’ll learn a hundred systems for optimizing your obsidian-logseq-roam-notion hybrid gsd-kanban workflow with bidirectional zettl references and interstitial notes organized into a beautiful para system with more systems on systems and queryable data views and more fancy shit than you could ever dream of, and when everything is done and set up the way you think will work for you (which it won’t)…

… you’ll realize you haven’t actually accomplished what you were meant to.

You just need to add kanban journaling for it to work.

Well, basically if I find myself procrastinating at work I go do something that's interesting but also needs done and that everyone else is ignoring. I quite enjoy fixing issues with obscure root causes and building tools for other people to use when there's not a huge looming deadline on it, so I chip away at stuff when I'd be procrastinating. Nice bonus side effect is the wins earned procrastinating sometimes gives me the motivation to actually do what I'm supposed to be doing.
