I tested the app Super Productivity. I really liked the integration with the calendar, since I'd like to integrate timeblocking and taskmanagement in one app.
However, compared to Things, it is not as smooth. Either I am stuck in my way or Things is just the better fit right now.
Still, I lack the visual appeal of time blocking. I could do it in the calender as Things also shows my calendars at the top of my today's task list. But I want to make the time blocks the central interface how I interact with my day.
I can trick Things by using tags. But the solution doesn't feel clean.
I think this problem is a distraction. I work in time blocks anyway. Perhaps, I crave external structure and validation because it is often annoying to plan each day without a clear framework if the day was planned optimally.
In training, I can provide myself with such an external framework. I plan my training week for 2-4 months at a time and then I just focus on execution. Each training day is informed by the last week's training. Easy, straightforward and because of the simplicity of training, I know without one iota of a doubt if I executed the training correctly. No [Deus deceptor] could trick me.
At least, I trained myself to consistently write 100 words per minute. Still, it is too slow for my need to not feel this constant foot on the break when I write. My suspicion is that a lot of the strange skips of content that happen when I write happen, because I already thought the content and my mind moved on.
So, another task on my skill ToDo: Relearn proper 10-finger typing. (I am not using my pinkies properly)
Perhaps, it will be viable to learn another keyboard layout like neo 2.
