I am someone who really enjoys using tools. However, using too many tools can actually decrease efficiency. Today, I will do a "tool-based" decluttering based on my own situation and take this opportunity to organize myself.
In general, tools can be divided into two categories: internal organization and external expression. I will explain each category separately.
Internal Organization#
I am someone whose actions cannot keep up with my thoughts. If I don't record my thoughts, it's difficult for me to implement them. Looking back at some of my previous stages, it seems that the stages where I consistently typed were the ones where I did well.
The process of typing is also a process of having a conversation with myself. I need to gradually adapt to solitude.
For me now, learning to adapt to solitude is very important. You can't always have someone accompany you and the so-called liveliness eventually fades away, leaving emptiness. The novelty quickly fades away for me, and I can't always be meeting new people. What I want is to be friends with myself.
| Tool | Advantages | Disadvantages | Future Positioning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Notion | Attractive interface | Strong lag, takes a long time to refresh every time it's opened | Not considering using it |
| Yuque | Simple style Many functions, such as drawing, calendar, mind maps, etc. | Additional editing operations are annoying | Can be used as the main productivity tool Start using it early for future official use |
| Mubu | Minimalist style Very easy to get started, stores many memories | I have been recording on it for over two years, there is a risk of closure, afraid that one day all the data will be lost Too few functions | Will not add new content, slowly migrate the existing content |
| Inoreader | Syncs across all platforms, a tool for gathering information Works well with rsshub, can monitor commonly used websites | Haven't found any disadvantages yet | Include useful and interesting sources |
| TickTick | Used to it | \ | Mobile updates are not timely |
External Expression#
Why express externally#
- Satisfy my desire for expression
- Make new friends
- Accumulate and amplify my own value, maybe it can lead to some side businesses or something
| Tool | Advantages | Disadvantages | Future Positioning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xlog | Data completely belongs to me! | Slightly inconvenient on mobile | Let's keep these two consistent |
| Yuque's external space | Convenient to use, can edit anywhere | Risk of data loss | |
| Personal blog | Can customize the style | High publishing cost, time-consuming and laborious, can't persist Haven't found a simpler publishing solution yet, focus on content for now, will work on it when I have the energy | Currently using Vercel + Hexo, source files are stored on GitHub, overall publishing process is a bit troublesome, including various third-party configurations After the novelty wears off, it becomes quite tiring Put it on hold for now~ |
| Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) | External input window Can meet new friends, expand my circle | Need to create content that attracts people | |
| Moments (WeChat) | Can post anytime | No cumulative effect No significant value | Just post daily life updates |
