Chetan Vashisht Oh thats easy, use your knuckles. Use your left hand and count with your right. Starting from the left of your little finger knuckle, start moving right. You should be able to move 7 times before hitting the end. Once you do, just start again for the left. Every time you hit an upward bump it signifies 31 days, otherwise it's 30 days or feb.
That Man Hah! Old school method :) learnt this as a kid and always took this for granted thinking this is a fairly well known technique (which I still think, probably is)

Kevin Lin for note taking, I would recommend dendron.so - its a local-first roam like open source markdown note taking app built on top of vscode (disclaimer: author here). we just launched our preview a week ago and are making updates on a daily basis
That Man Congrats on your launch. How is this going to differ from what Obsidian does? And what does this do better than other non linear note taking apps?

🎣 Fish its a calm and less checked atmosphere. Theres no need to be here snd thats why its enjoyable for some. Great build for a small community that reminds me of my forum days
That Man Couldn't agree more on this. Not having to scroll endlessly like other counterparts and a chaos-free environment (not sure if that's going to be the case with influx of users in the future) is what brings me back to this site.

🧿 Andrea I stopped after the first three chapters, had to move and couldn't convince myself to bring the tome across the world! I remember the chapters on music were doing my head in.
That Man Out of curiosity, given that you've an idea of how the content is gonna be, would you ever be willing to give it a second shot?

❄️ Geoff It's not really about controlling where the world is moving. It's about controlling your emotions towards it. Worrying is exhausting so I pick the top 3 - 5 most important things in my life and try to influence those things. And let the rest go. Can't bend everything to your will
That Man 'Worrying is exhausting' - I think this sums up the solution to fair chunk of problems in life if not all. Cheers!

❄️ Geoff I realized that I get frustrated because the world is not working the way I think it should work. But that's not the world's problem. The world is just the world. It's a problem with my perception of how the world should work. So really I can control this frustration, because it's my problem. Re-framing it that way has helped me
That Man I was of the same opinion as that of the OP and had given up on news of any kind for the past three months. But your world view puts things from a different perspective and think makes sense. Thank you for putting it up here. But thinking on a meta level, is it again not just giving up as to where and how the world is moving by saying it's out of our control?
