I assume most of you organize the hierarchy in some sensical way that can be interpreted as triggered commands, if youâre open minded about interpreting your system in that way, I think you can say this.
But how do you trigger the if without checking dynalist every minute? How do you not go home and forget to do the at home list then get to work and say dang it.
If you have the mental discipline levels where you canât relate, good for you, the rest of us are dumb and need tools.
We all check our phone 20 times when we are home, so it could be a notification there. I can think of some awful methods involving web scraping and geofence apps but Iâd rather not wander that nightmare land naively.
The notifications and alarm system you are describing seems to be a clock function default in your phoneâs apps. Itâs quite hard for a software to predict when you are home or going out, so I recommend this app: BlipBlip. You can set it to send unobtrusive notification blips every hour to every 30 minutes to every 1 minute!
Blipblip reminds me of those anxiety inducing pomodoro tomato timers that always felt like a death knoll bell never letting you forget the unstoppable march of time, buuuut i know a lot of people like pomodoro timers.
I feel like the migration from paper bullet journals to computer bullet journal should enable more tricks in the bullet journaler repertoire but maybe everyone just uses them just like the paper ones, checking them every once in a while, using their brain memory.
Iâm just tryin things, but keep forgetting to look at the todo list at the right time.
Latest thing to try: autopost a link to the top of my dynalist the proper to-do node based on Androidâs 24/7 GPS tracking
My dream is figuring out how to parse out the children of a specific node via the API and email myself just that. then my to do list for the place i just got to is right there, readable from the notifications.
There are a LOT of things you have to think about; âdo the laundry at homeâ, âtalk to Erica about a reminder functionâ, âbuy coffee at the grocery storeâ, etc.
By setting up your list(s) in Dynalist, where I recommend using one document with tags, you only have to remember one thing: check my list. Meeting your friend Jane Doe? Open Dynalist, check your #JaneDoe tag. Outside? Check your #errands tag.
That is more something of forming a habit. But itâs worth it. If you take the habit that major switches of context should trigger a look in Dynalist, youâll have a trusted system. Going to the doctor youâll tap the #doctor tag and ask all the questions you had, for example
