@culturedcode Hypothetically, could this mean a possible web app? Hypothetically, of course 👀

[Bea Martins @beamdsilva]

@culturedcode hi! Are there any plans for a windows/android app? Or at least a web app?
Since I have to use other OS for work, that’s the only thing I’d need to be able to fully switch to things!

[Bea Martins @beamdsilva]

@todoist hi! I’m having trouble logging in to my account on windows. I can log in on my iphone app and on my laptop only through the web app, not the windows app.

Is that a known issue and is there any way to solve this asap?

[Bea Martins @beamdsilva]

@structured_app any plans for a windows app any time soon?

That big productivity secret you're looking for is simply not getting distracted.

In a world of constant noise, being able to focus & finish is a lost art.

[Bea Martins @beamdsilva]

@stu_ck @culturedcode Oh that’s awesome! Hadn’t thought of that… always nice to share ideas!

[Bea Martins @beamdsilva]

Hey @culturedcode

Are there any plans to be able to set priorities to tasks?

I love everything about this app but that’s the only thing still keeping me torn between other apps as well

[Bea Martins @beamdsilva]

@julesvbertolino @culturedcode Yeah, that’s great advice, I already do that. The problem is to prioritise tasks within the day and know exactly where I should start.
It gets overwhelming when there are lots of tasks.
Todoist is great at priorities but overall things is a better app for me, except for that

30 short habits with massive return on life:

1. Create a system for capturing thoughts—your brain is for having ideas, not holding them.

2. Swap your phone for a Kindle at bedtime (this fixed 90% of my sleep problems)

3. Read something every day. Even just 1 page.

4. Write something every day. Even just 1 paragraph.

5. Automate small decisions/tasks. Save your brain power for bigger things.

6. Write a 5 item to-do list each morning. Prioritize it by importance.

7. Learn to use body scan meditation to fall asleep quickly.

8. Go to bed 30 minutes earlier.

9. If you want something—ask for it. Closed mouths don't get fed.

10. Keep a swipe file of things that resonate with you.

11. Break down problems into the smallest possible action steps.

12. Write down 1 story-worthy moment each day. In a month, you'll have 30 stories to tell.

13. Double down on creative activities that make you lose track of time.

14. Put your phone out of reach while you're working.

15. Track every minute of your day for a week. See where your time is actually going.

16. Be bored more often. Give your brain space to be creative.

17. Listen more than you speak.

18. Create more than you consume.

19. Compliment more than you complain.

20. Delete apps you don’t need.

21. Donate clothes you don’t wear.

22. Make a habit of reaching out to old friends.

23. Never say “yes” out of obligation.

24. Take care of your information diet—Junk info hurts our brains like junk food hurts our bodies.

25. Never do an activity just so you can tell others about it.

26. Revisit things that have brought you joy in the past. They'll do it again.

27. Stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to every one else’s highlight reel.

28. "Read what you love, until you love to read" - Naval Ravikant

29. Take care of your body, you only get one.

30. Leave it better than you found it.

7 ways to become high-value:

Prove you can do hard things

When a teenager asks why they need to learn calculus, what should you say?

You know they will never use it in adulthood, outside of certain career choices.

You could say, “It’ll help you get into college,” but then they’re left wondering why college cares if you know calculus.

And once they’re in college, maybe you could say, “To get a good job,” but why would a potential hirer care how you did in multivariate calculus if your job doesn’t require any knowledge of calculus?

But I recently realized there is a very good reason to take Calculus. It’s to prove you can do hard things.

The ability to do hard things is perhaps the most useful ability you can foster in yourself or your children. And proof that you are someone who can do them is one of the most useful assets you can have on your life resume.

Our self-image is composed of historical evidence of our abilities. The more hard things you push yourself to do, the more competent you will see yourself to be.

If you can run marathons or throw double your body weight over your head, the sleep deprivation from a newborn is only a mild irritant.

If you can excel at organic chemistry or econometrics, onboarding for a new finance job will be a breeze.

But if we avoid hard things, anything mildly challenging will seem insurmountable.

We’ll cry into TikTok over an errant period at the end of a text message. We’ll see ourselves as incapable of learning new skills, taking on new careers, and escaping bad situations.

The proof you can do hard things is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself.

My goal with our kids is to avoid lying to them as much as possible.

I won’t tell them that calculus is super important or even that grades are super important. The truth is, they aren’t, so long as you have other plans.

Calculus is a great way to prove you can do hard things if you have no other proof to show.

But if you’re learning programming and building apps in your free time, or winning soccer championships, or writing a novel, then you are doing hard things. Probably harder than Calculus.

This is also why there’s so much survivorship bias and bad advice in the “C students hire A students” trope. Most C students are not doing other hard things instead of school. They’re just goofing off, so they end up working for the A student.

But some C students are getting C’s because they’re obsessed with other projects. Hard projects. And that obsession with doing hard things lets them blow past their Excellent Sheep peers over time.

So if you have a C student who’s obsessed with something hard, you probably don’t have to worry. If they’re getting high and watching TikTok, well…

I don’t particularly care what grades my kids get once they start school. But I do care that they consistently prove to themselves they can do hard things. If Calculus is how they want to do it, fine, but there are many, many more options.

And if you’re not someone who knows they can do hard things, find a way to prove it to yourself.

Build a habit, learn a skill, create something, whatever it is that turns your default stance on challenges from “that seems hard” to “I can figure it out.”

Create proof you can do hard things.

"coiso do carregador, não é o cabo"

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Don't ask introverts “why are you so quiet?”. Bruh, that’s how they function. That's the design of their DNA. Quiet & alone. They don't talk just to talk, they talk when they have something to say. When something excites them. When something moves their soul, then, they talk.

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

What I really love about introverts is their passion. Once something catches their curiosity, they become something else. Obsessive. A little crazy. Absolutely absorbed by it. Mind, body, and soul. Unveiling layers after layers. In a complete state of flow. It's just beautiful.

[Perfect Guidance 🧭 @PerfectGuide_]

Silence is better than drama.

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Only a fool would think introverts are unfriendly. Yes, they don't have a large group of friends, but that doesn't mean they're unfriendly. They're warm & welcoming people. Kind, caring, and highly empathetic. Great listeners. But, they're close with only a few. That's all.
