More recently Habitica and Goodtime have been instrumental in the way that I approach productivity
- Habitica is a habit tracker/to-do list that lets you treat your life as an RPG, and provides me the extrinsic motivation of “I want to level up” that pushes me to accomplish tasks that I otherwise would have been lax on
- Goodtime is simply the best pomodoro app that I’ve found that has a minimalist interface, configurable timers (on the fly), and robust statistics monitoring (with the option to export to CSV)
In combination they’ve helped me move my daily focus into more deep and focused work, rather than trudging around and getting distracted by whatever catches my eye
My guess is that Lemmy is at the weird intersection where it’s popular enough that people get satisfaction from “breaking” it while also not being mature enough to have robust ways to defend against it. The project did get forced into the limelight after all and it’s fantastic that everything has scaled as well as it has so far
