Re: Productivity: What are your top apps?
Hi ReeceK, and Thank You! To answer your question, primarily, I open up Sticky Notes and summarize the search topic matching those specific urls, for example, # .NET MAUI. I give Sticky Notes a quick search and if there is already a Sticky Note with a similar title and I have already started a list, I add the new date under the previous list, and then the I paste the new list of URL's from the browser extension into that sticky note. That way, it allows me. When Im ready to use them again I copy the list from the sticky note and paste them into a text editor in Visual Studio Code, where I have an extension to remove blank lines, find and remove duplicates, then Sorts them in alphabetical order. Copy the list, and paste it into whichever browser and profile I choose. I know it sounds like a lot but trust me, it saves me time, and it saves me from the headaches, and it keeps me from having to use Favorites and Bookmarks Thanks, Hannah3.1KViews1like0CommentsRe: Productivity: What are your top apps?
So I have this dreadful addiction to opening up tabs. In fact, multiple tabs in the Chrome and Edge, along with the ability to have multiple profiles, are the bane of my existence. Its not uncommon for me to have 2 or 3 different profiles on edge open...with anywhere from 3 to 10 browser windows, and 20 -30 tabs open in every window. Then there's Chrome...just go ahead and double the first set of numbers...SO....i had to figure out something to allow me to keep all of my tabs which I will eventually either read through all the way or at least skim through until I decide its not what im looking for. So there is an extension that I installed in both browsers, on all my profiles, and its called "Copy All Urls" . This allows me to copy every URL from every tab in just a straight list of urls, orI can customize the output like if I wanted to put the entire list into a markdown file, I could configure it as [%title%](%url%)...SO I dont know if it has really helped my productivity so much as it has helped my .....disorganization. But then, the second step is...sinc I never throw a tab away until its been read or skimmed, I have to paste those tabs somewhere. Sometimes its VSCode, into a markdown file....but most of the time, its Microsoft's Sticky Notes. Then I can go back later, pull up the sticky note, copy the url list, and use the same extension to now paste the list and all urls open in a new tab....Voila! I have been told that there is an actual name for this Something like Compulsive Tab Disorder, or something...Whatever its called...Its definitely a thing...3.1KViews1like0Comments
