Hi yall,

I've been trying to find a system for Organizing and nothing works. I have ADHD, which really makes it difficult to stay with organizational systems. I've been looking for an app for the past 2 weeks that would combine all aspects of my life together.

Problem: I am very spread out, in multiple apps, which makes it hard to remember/keep track of assignments and finances. I have 5 separate email accounts, Microsoft todo, my study Life, and my finance tracker is just a spread sheet (not synced to dates). I also have to navigate to 5 different websites frequently because of assignments for class.

Goal: I would prefer an app that can •sync/subscribe to outlook and Google calendars •have a todo list function, that will show on the calendar along with dates •I would also prefer a "dashboard" like homepage, so I can embed links to all the different websites I need for class •a very minimal way to keep track of bills, minimal because I can always find a workaround, the reminders are more important •and it needs to be accessible through windows, preferably android as well. What keep running into is, the websites for "dashboard"s are made for companies, since I'm doing to for me individually, many apps are not accessible for me.

Progress: [page=way to have a dashbard] I've already tried Notion [to do list doesn't sync across workspaces (different emails)], Motion [no pages], hellohabit [didn't sync mumultiple emails], artful agenda [No page], asana [no page], prpriority matrix, remremember the milk, any.do, Dailey planner:Brite, Microsoft planner, Univi, monday.com, Google keep, todoist, planner pro, inflow adhd, ping AI, howbout, routine flow, day crush, housy, the hive, sunama, m365 manager plus, brightside, Microsoft admin/teams (SharePoint), capterra, andoconda.com, getapp, wrike, sslack, trello, appsheet, ninox,minoxidil, caspio,blitzit, app.plusdocs, mylifeorganized, goodbarber, potential, grit, amazing marvin, dreampd, nifty, clickup, fibery,fibers, anytype.io, airtable, Google keep, maxAi,squares space, square up, appfleuance, ellie planner, clay, routine, getinflow time.thefabulous, flexibits.

I am also open to using one of these apps better, i could have also not seen the full capcapabilities of these apps. If you guys, know anything that would, please let me know.

Hi everyone! 👋

I wanted to share something that’s made a huge difference in my ability to stay organized and manage my time effectively: timeboxing. Like a lot of people, I used to feel overwhelmed with all the personal and professional tasks piling up. It felt impossible to stay organized and on track. Timeboxing has been a game-changer, helping me structure my day and actually get things done.

How Timeboxing Has Improved My Self-Organization

Timeboxing is all about assigning specific time blocks to each task. Instead of just making a long list of things to do, I dedicate a set amount of time to each item, which makes a huge difference in terms of focus and accountability. Here’s how it’s helped me:

• Builds Consistent Habits: Timeboxing has helped me build daily organization habits by setting aside specific time for each task. It’s turned self-organization into something structured and reliable.
• Reduces Overwhelm: Breaking tasks into smaller, time-limited blocks makes even the biggest projects feel manageable. I don’t get bogged down by a daunting list because each task has a clear start and finish.
• Encourages Reflection and Adjustment: With each time block, I’m able to see my progress and make adjustments based on what’s working. It’s kept me focused and motivated, especially on days when things feel scattered.

Why I Created TimeBoxer

When I couldn’t find a tool that made timeboxing simple, I created TimeBoxer to make it easy to use timeboxing for self-organization. Here’s how it helps:

• Set Time Limits for Tasks: Helps keep me focused and moving through my to-dos without spending too long on any one item.
• Motivational Milestones: TimeBoxer includes prompts at 25%, 50%, and 75% to give me a little boost as I work through tasks.
• Overtime Alerts: If I go over the planned time, I get a nudge to wrap up, which has been super helpful for keeping on track.
• Progress Tracking: I can see patterns in how I spend my time, making it easier to adjust and improve my self-organization practices.

If self-organization is something you’re working on, timeboxing has been a huge help for me. TimeBoxer is available on iOS if you’d like to give it a try: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/timeboxer-focus-finish-win/id6720741072.

Happy to answer questions or hear from others about self-organization tips that have worked for you! 😊

Hey everyone, I just wanted some advice on how to keep up with all my responsibilities. So I (22M) am in my senior year of college and I am studying sport management and esport management. I am planning on taking my masters at the same school next year for about the next 2 years. I am looking to pursue a career in collegiate esports as an Esports Director for a school somewhere.

So currently what I do is school (15 credits), friends, girlfriend, broadcast manager for the schools esports program (coordinating with production members and casters to make the stream function 2 or 3 nights a week), Overwatch manager for all 3 teams at the school (scheduling practices and managing them during tournaments), Gaming RSO President (hosting weekly meetings to plan community events to host once or twice a week), playing on the Apex Legends team for the school, running my own collegiate esports tournament with 18 schools involved, and of course my free time which involves gaming and relaxing.

It’s a lot, but honestly I love all of it, and I feel like it’s really setting me up to pursue my dream career. The issue is that at time I feel overwhelmed. I believe that stems from being unorganized. I have been doing all this since late August, so I know I can do it, but I think I really just need a way to stay organized and on top of all those things.

So I guess what I am looking for is advice or tips on ways I can organize everything to better approach each day and make sure I don’t get overwhelmed. I appreciate any and all feedback!

Hey there,

I’ve always had a ton of ideas and things I wanted to get done, but I could never seem to stay organized. My desk was a mess, my files were all over the place, and my calendar looked like a warzone. Honestly, I didn’t even know where to start half the time. I’d make to-do lists that were pages long, and by the time I got to the second thing, I’d already feel overwhelmed and just quit.

The turning point came when I realized how much time I was wasting just looking at my list and not doing anything. I needed a way to break it down into smaller, simpler steps. That’s when I found Hyperdone. At first, I wasn’t sure it was going to work, but it helped me turn things around.

I can break my day into small chunks like 30 minutes of focus on one task, and then I can see exactly what I need to do next. It’s not super complicated, and I don’t feel the same "I-can’t-do-this" anxiety anymore. I’m not perfect, but I’m definitely a lot more organized than I was before. It’s simple but it helped me get my act together.

Anyone else have trouble with staying organized? How did you start fixing it?

Hi folks, I generally like to stay organised mentally. It helps me stay on top of many different things I am doing in life. I have many intricate (and maybe way too complex for my own good) systems which I have been living with (and iteratively build upon) since many years.

I’d love to find people who are like-minded on this matter. I generally like to organise everything from movies I watch to personal projects I am working on to places I have travelled

Let me know if something like this interests you

P.S. my DMs are open as well, just in case you don’t want to comment here. Even I’d like to open up eventually as well, so I get it.

Hey!

I wanted to share a bit about my journey with time management. I used to feel completely overwhelmed juggling multiple projects, often losing track of tasks and deadlines. It was frustrating!

Then, I tried Hyperdone while searching for productivity tools. I decided to give it a shot, and it turned out to be a game changer. The Calendar boards helped me visualize my tasks in a way that made sense to me.

I remember my first week using the Pomodoro timer feature. I was amazed at how much I accomplished in those focused intervals. It wasn’t just about getting things done; it was about quality too.

The work-life balance reports were eye-opening, helping me understand where I was spending too much time. I started making small changes that led to significant improvements. 

I'm an engineering student and need to practice my 3d modelling skills. Looking for some inspiration. If I create any solutions I'll edit this post and provide you the free files/links. Cheers!

I'm a big fan of the movie The Secret Life of Chaos. It shows how both choas and self-organization are an inherent property of the simplest of mathematics. Self-organization seems to go against the general trend towards entropy. Given the new information that with when you factor in Machine Learning, Moore's Law is no longer slowing down but actually accelerating to every 3 months, is it possible that after the human-tech singularity, could the universe consume itself through self-organization as a final singularity?

Similarly if the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct, wouldnt your consciousness always continue to exist in a timeline in which you never die and you would eventually approuch the universe consuming itself version of the singularity? I understand the problem with this last thought is it's not falsifyable which means it's not exactly science. Also considering the fact that I can die in someone else's timeline and they can die in mine means that there's isn't a good way to prove it other than to die in your own timeless at which time disproving it becomes pointless. How long does one need to exist their own timeline before coming convinced something like this could exist? If unified consciousness and other technologies continue to advance isn't there a path forward for this. Reality could roll the dice for every permutation but you always spawn and continue in the permutation that conserves your existence. I feel like Black Mirror Bandersnatch and Rick and Morty touch on these concepts.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts. Is it crazy but fun philosophical talk or does anyone else share these thoughts?

Hello everyone,

​

anyone knows of a masterclass for self-organizing? I am Junior PM, and since I was never a fan of taking notes, I struggle with taking notes, following up on emails, tasks, and so on and I would like a complex program to follow so I can work better and don't cause stress to myself and my boss.

​

Do you know of any? English, online.. whatever there is :)

i was at zappos.com when we went to a self-org model using a system called holacracy. i'm a big fan of the concept and proceeded to get questions from many curious observers in my sphere.

there were few people that saw value in the new business model concept, but i was unprepared for the negative reaction from both the left and right.

i'm fairly staunchly on the "more individual freedom" side of things, so i saw the move to self-org (i.e. getting rid of all managers) to be an empowerment of individual freedom, which was why i was for it.

so, those on the left of the political spectrum seemed to mostly be skeptical of the anarchy that would ensue. they generally felt that you couldn't work a system like this because you need top-down control to make a business work. there were, however, a minority on the left that saw the distribution of power/authority to the people as being in line with their values, and therefore embraced the idea.

what surprised me, was that most of the people on the right of the political spectrum dismissed self-org as a socialist movement. the lack of granted hierarchical status was too much like a socialist equality of outcome rather than an equality of opportunity. this, despite self-org systems clearly have compensation differences in outcome, they just couldn't get past the lack of social status that comes with hierarchy. a minority of those on the right saw the individual freedom inherent in a lack of hierarchy as being aligned with their values.

what do ya'll think? is self-org more libertarian or socialist?
