Alexander SolovyovSo I'm trying to get my notes/docs/whatever under control, because I have Apple Notes, Evernote, Quip, Notion.so and Todoist. Failing pretty hard so far. :\

@asolovyov /me looking at his lonely Google Keep icon: "Huh?"
@isagalaev yeah but Quip is doing tables, and Evernote can search in pdfs, and notion is so nice to use on laptop. I'm thinking about suicide, to be honest. :)
@asolovyov you don't really need any of that.
I can only speak for myself, but my way of dealing with information overload is not by employing more tools. Instead I taught myself over the last few years to not take the responsibilities I can't handle and generally just do things slower. It's tricky to get there, but unlike investment in tools, this way is actually sustainable.
@isagalaev that sounds reasonable, I guess the only obstacle on the way there is that I have no idea how to do that. :)
@asolovyov how do you go about starting anything big? Step by step, figuring the details out in the process :-)
I've been (involuntarily) helped by having a kid: adding so many more things to care about in life made it very clear that I had to change my approach drastically.
@isagalaev I stopped writing code at home because of a kid, so the team stopped relying on me being able to help at times, which is nice.
But then I just juggle everything else in my head, because I suck at organizing myself. :)
