I’m in a bit of a productivity rut and whilst I suspect the issue is mainly between the keyboard and chair I’m also interested in what (FOSS) tools there are that people find effective.

One of my issues at the moment is cross managing different workstreams particularly with personal projects which are more in the “if I have time category”.

I’m interested in anything that helps manage time or limit distractions or anything that makes it easier to keep track of progress/next steps for project when there may be a bit of a time gap between.

    Zettlr for technical writing into any format.

    Obsidian for a second brain based on the molecular notes method. And yes, I’ve tried all of the FOSS alternatives. None are ready to replace Obsidian yet.

    Wallabag for saving resources offline for easy and permanent reference.

    Lunarvim for actually sitting down to work instead of fiddling with and optimizing my setup.

    Literally what I use virtual desktops to solve

      Is it possible to “save” those sessions between reboots? That would be awesome.

          Thank you, I will look into KWin.

          Turns out, it is awesome and does more than I need. I already move a lot of my applications with xdotool to prediscribed positions and sizes, via hotkeys, which start some scripts. Now I found out, it also can move them across virtual desktops. Nice :)

    joplin has allowed me to be a lot more flexible with managing and viewing my sheet music.

    i converted my notes pretty easily and now i have access to them on all my devices.

      I just wished Joplin would store notes as some kind of plain text, like Obsidian does. I’ve also been trying out AppFlowy, which looks kinda promising (and Foss), but it stores notes in a db as well.

        I mainly use joplin for tables. it can’t do equations but for set lists and repertoire it’s much easier to use than anything else i’ve tried.
