You laugh but I'm glad Ive got a picture of my driver's license favorited so I can find my license number easily without having to get up and find my wallet when some random form wants it.
Never mind that I still remember my Windows 95 license key but can't remember my own driver's license number.

...h...how many times did you have to reinstall Windows 95?*
*Before 98 came out? Lol
I'm self-hosting Karakeep for exactly that reason, but... I still have well over 100 tabs in my mobile browser and write some things down in two separate note taking apps... Send help.

Oh my gosh what is this.
I want it.
This is going to end up an enormous chunk of my server space isn't it. :3
I still have well over 100 tabs in my mobile browser
I think this is just a side effect of how mobile browsers seem to work. Every quick little lookup I do is in its own tab, and I close the browser instead of the tab when I'm done, so if you're like me, it builds up to an absurdly high number very fast.
If I haven't gone back through that list in like a month I just take a deep breath and hit "close all tabs".
I'm gonna try this Karakeep though. I've tried traditional bookmarks in Firefox and...I never actually reference them. Lol
You just delete the screenshot folder whenbit gets intimidating. Most of them were of my lockscreen anyways.
Thank you. I read your comment, then held my breath and deleted nearly 10,000 screenshots.
Damn, that a lot of can kicking you just got off the todo list.
I give it 6 hours until you desperately need some obscure reference number from 10 months ago
I give it 90 seconds after that moment until their searching for the old reference lands them on some new and better reference they'd rather use instead
I think they meant "reference number" like some sort of "remember this code if anything goes wrong or we won't refund you" to return a product or something lol.
I think this is a major issue with such things though. There's so much paper mail especially where it says "keep for your records" but it's like... between some fuzzy limbo of necessity and garbage.
...so it either gets scanned to PaperlessNGX or gets stuffed in a "I want this stupid paper off my desk and I'm not sure if I should keep it" box that I'll go through when it's full. Lol
I managed to finish writing a poem after more than 6 months. I hope I can finish my academic paper soon as well. Man, life is fucking hard.

Go do 20 minutes on your paper.
What's 20 minutes?
You got this!
Life is fucking hard, but a step at a time can make it more bearable. I believe in you SexualPolytope
Thanks lol. I do intend to finish by this weekend. But then I planned it last weekend too. Let's see how it goes lol.
A few weeks ago I managed to sit down for a few hours to put all my ongoing tasks and projects in fucking project management software in order to be able to follow it up better. I'm now afraid of opening the software to look at the mountain of collected work therein.
I finally began to just purge everything, its a whole project trying to sell off my projects though so now my living room is a warehouse of boxes and bubbles wrap I've been bringing home from work
I've got so many dead tasks management tools that I spent a day setting up.
Oh, but have you tried [insert software that has 8-billion tools, all of which you ignore and you just use as a notepad]?
You could go through it and screenshot the interesting parts
Aye i will when I get a chance
I will make that hoagie roll recipe I’ve had open for months, I’m just not ready yet
Now you've got to share it with us.

Ooo that looks good. I got into sandwich making as my hyperfocus for a while and I'd really like to make more.
Mmm MM!
Sandwiches is a good hyper focus. <3
Listen. That e-ink display I've got tucked away in a screenshot and an open tab is important and I will look at it later and decide whether I want to do that project.
Look at all those things yesterday-me was interested in.
Screenshotting and bookmarking is the equivalent of a SuperLike. It’s a badge of honour.
I really need to set myself up on LinkWarden or linkding; it would solve at least 95% of this problem and my massive tab problem as well
