    I’m in this pic and I hate it. I would have like 20 albums written if I would just sit down and turn the clever concept/title and couple of stanzas into an actual fucking song. Instead what I do is open GDrive and get paralyzed at the sight of the burgeoning directory structure and immediately log off, if I even get that far.

        That’s one way of looking at this if your mindset is negativity.

        I prefer to exercise positive intent and I see this as possibly someone with ADHD not knowing whether this particular trait is their ADHD or just a thing.

        I have ADHD and I am often like this, it makes you question your identity, especially if diagnosed later in life like me.

        Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people, but that doesn’t mean they don’t affect ADHD people in a debilitating way.

        It’s like heart palpations can be a sign of a heart attack or a panic attack.

          Exactly.

          Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people,

          They key is “occasionally” - for someone with ADHD these traits are pretty much constant, never go away. Medication and practice may reduce their impact, and you may find ways to mitigate/compensate, but the underlying trait is always there, waiting for you to become complacent.

          A neurotypical person rarely understands how much effort is put in just for something mundane.

    My life hack for that is to just never close any tabs.

    (Reboots)

    Browser: There are 496 tabs in your previous session. Are you sure you want to restore?

    Me: Did I stutter?

      I want an extension that simply saves every page I open into a new page in a specific OneNote notebook. Yea, most would be crap, but the storage is trivial, and the search capability would be awesome.

      Plus it would sort of serve as my own timeline.

        I have a local daemon and browser extension doing something like that on my desktop machines.

        In case you’d like to do the same, here are some time savers:
        1. More of a heads up but storage requirement will never be trivial, even with fs compression. Browsers limit resource cache for a reason.
        2. Unless OneNote has some kind of page nesting functionality beyond the usual outline/TOC tagging, typical browser-history population and web page length can lead to an infinitely-scrolling, memory eating, difficult to use note.
        3. It is easier to lean on existing browser and filesystem functionality by printing to PDF and optionally attaching wherever (such as onenote) for a number of reasons.
        4. Visual consistency of the print render will vary, but the PDF approach uses existing render in situ and is the only page snapshot commonly supported by progressive web applications.

        Besides PDF, the most consistent local full-page, full-asset save I’ve found is the .archive format. It’s used in the Safari browser for local saving and is the basis for features like “Add to reading list.” Archive appears to be something like a zipped wget directory but includes additional session state information for future page recreation. I save both PDF and Archive formats and browse using filesystem rather than another app like onenote.

        If you’re on Windows, this appears to be the aim of their Recall feature. Just be aware that it (and really that entire operating system) comes with a lot of privacy-related concerns.

        Edit: mention .archive format

          Storing web pages (single pages, no attached videos or anything) in OneNote is trivial storage. After 15 years now, my biggest notebook is 4 gigs or so.

          Having it go into any other note taking app would work too, Notion, etc.

          I want the text content, so it’s searchable.

          I’ve used ArchiveBox a bit, maybe I need to setup some automation into it.
