I saw the video on the Cortex journal and bought it. I started a new job that is semi-self employed (a pastor) and it has been very helpful. After fifteen days I was able to rewrite what I was tracking and change how I journal, and it works. I needed this more than the sidekick, but maybe in the future.
My theme is just the year of more food. Which is exactly what it sounds like, its having meals and snacks. Nudging myself towards being a healthy weight instead of a little bit underweight. I'm also doing other things though, I'd love to release an alpha version for a computer game I'm making this year.
@@WatanabeNoTsuna. Good luck! Wishing you the best. Every small skipped snack or having a cup of tea but not biscuits is a step towards the theme. Same here but opposite.
Its my first time running a yearly theme this year! "Year of progress" I have ran with the idea of no concrete goals to start my theme journey My aim has just been to make any progress at all in things i wish to accomplish And so far its really helped me with the executive disfunction of not starting something just because i dont know how long it will take me to finish While writing this comment ive realised ive used this theme to create a more fuzzy edges version of the "just do it for 5 minites" productivity technique Because anytime i have some free time i find myself thinking "oh well i can at least *start* this thing" and then once ive started i can make some progress for a couple hours On the long term i hope to apply this to my feminine gender transition as a non binary person as the current UK political climate + pandemic has demotivated me into dragging my feet on this for a couple years now But in the short term it has motivated me to finally pick up and play all the games people have been shouting about for years (disco elysium, outer wilds and balders gate 3 along with some jedi fallen order and cyberpunk occasionally) Wishing all the cortexans out there reading this a very happy new year (That includes you myke and grey if you read these comments)
What you could do is separate, but still sinple timers, which should make it more useful. Use one timer for the category/subject, and a second concurrent timer for the type of activity.
I like the content of this podcast, but I can't listen to a full episode of that rising inflection by Myke, his pitch rising at the end of every phrase 🤷♂ Someone let me know when he's trained himself to stop this 🙈

Ah, the envy! 😭 I'm trying to make this the year of LESS food for me... 😭
😂😂

That sound at 8:15 must make it in to cortex animated 😂
"It's the January Mike Time-Tracking Review! *pchew!*" These two are so cute sometimes.
The best time to plant a marriage is 10 years ago lololol having narrowly missed the tinder bullet myself that was hilarious

"Year of progress"
I have ran with the idea of no concrete goals to start my theme journey
My aim has just been to make any progress at all in things i wish to accomplish
And so far its really helped me with the executive disfunction of not starting something just because i dont know how long it will take me to finish
While writing this comment ive realised ive used this theme to create a more fuzzy edges version of the "just do it for 5 minites" productivity technique
Because anytime i have some free time i find myself thinking "oh well i can at least *start* this thing" and then once ive started i can make some progress for a couple hours
On the long term i hope to apply this to my feminine gender transition as a non binary person as the current UK political climate + pandemic has demotivated me into dragging my feet on this for a couple years now
But in the short term it has motivated me to finally pick up and play all the games people have been shouting about for years (disco elysium, outer wilds and balders gate 3 along with some jedi fallen order and cyberpunk occasionally)
Wishing all the cortexans out there reading this a very happy new year

First episode I've seen on release 🤩🎉
Thank goodness for that MacOS explaination…
Can’t wait for slack to introduce 10seconds message video recording - literally TikTok for enterprise communication.
omg this still exists!

Please do make a "Psychic" notepad for the Cortex faithful 😂
We need a new subtitle tab on the theme pages. I genuinely hope this happens
ironically, ive been on the fence about the sidekick notepad until listening to this episode. i might order one actually- sorry Grey 😅
the best time is 10 years ago is always the best advice
Here we go
I'll watch this later
Has Myke read The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman? I think it would make an interesting discussion for the cortex book club
Hello
hello
Year of Basics what like MS DOS? Lol
😂
Cortexans? 😂😂😂
Why bother uploading a podcast and have ADs every 2 minutes! What amateurs...
