I've gone all-in (almost) on the personal organiser thing. This means I no longer have to fight DAVx, sync issues or cloud storage for:

contacts, calendars, appointments, to-do lists, notes, birthdays, food tracking, reading lists, stuff.

I'm keeping the exercise tracking because using maps and stuff like that is nice. The rest of it is more fluid with less technology backing it. Weird that. The more convenient things get, the harder they become.

this is inspiring! please keep posting about how things go and where you encounter situations that challenge the concept.

i recently deleted all messengers and noticed that some people are unable to keep in touch unless one happens to be in their recent contacts in the app. so sometimes we call each other and for others the contact just fizzles out.

re: running. i used to track it myself but then dropped the smartwatch and stopped tracking altogether. i decided i want to run for myself and the moment and just enjoy it and don’t care about stats as long as i feel i gave my best on that day. works for me, but i also don’t run competitively or have specific goals · 5 months ago

I actually don't even need to sync my GPS online for exercise as it's all logged on the device, but checking against routes,visualising distances and things like that is "added value" in one sense I suppose. · 5 months ago
