Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.

Yes, there is a tension between how in minimalism we want less physical stuff whereas how in the, uh, “intentional tech” movement (sometimes called “digital minimalism”) there’s this tendency to accrue a bunch of single-use items. A minimalist might ask “why should I need a shelf full of paper books, a computer, a...
Oh wait I just realized that it’s the 20th anniversary (approximately) since I got on GTD! Over the past 20 years, two short-cuts have snuck into my practice that are both big no-no’s in GTD even though they save a lot of time. One is that I often bypass my inbox and all that processing and instead write things...
I moved my GTD system back to paper in the fall of 2023 and a few weeks ago I started using very thick A5-sized notebook as an index into all my other paper notebooks and calendars (and there are some references to digital files and folders in there too). The entire notebook is divided alphabetically, I divided it...
The work-first principle (“arbetslinjen”) was instituted for pretty good reason: a welfare state requires a high rate of employment to fund itself. But in the name of the work-first principle and “austerity”, that higher goal is constantly being undermined both on a primary and secondary level. On a primary level...
With a patronizing scoff of pity I looked at a tyrannical app in another land. It was a “Super App” called WeChat or KakaoTalk or LINE or Grab or Gojek. Every human being in that land needed the app. You needed it for transportation, for buying things, for identification, everyone had to have it. Why didn’t the...
As per ushe my reviews can get pretty spoileriffic because they are meant for writers who like to think about books they have already read rather than for readers who are deciding what book to read. But if you’re wondering whether or not to read Momo, do it, it’s great. It feels weird that I never read Michael...
Restaurants, please don’t make halloumi, paneer, “grilloumi” or similar hard cheeses be your “vegetarian” option because they are almost twice as bad for the climate as even pork is (and pork is already super bad). I know I come across as a killjoy nag on this doomposting blog but I don’t fault any one consumer for...
A family member yesterday who is going on an aoroplane vacation said “I know you don’t like that” and I was like… it doesn’t matter what I think. It’s not my opinion that matters. I actually think flying and travel is fun and fascinating. The problem is that millions of people have died from climate change already...
Sometimes you still hear that society is polarized and we need to move towards the middle. Pretty messed up considering how everything’s moved towards the right these past forty years, further than I ever would’ve imagined. Increased corruption Increased wealth gaps Persecution of minorities Genocides plural...
Okay, with this variant you win when the opponent can’t make a move on the board and is out of reserve pieces, just like the original 1960s game, but you only have six moves to win! Take six pieces each of an unused player color (if your version doesn’t have extra color pieces you can use dice or beads) and place...
