As I revisited my yearly plan, a small but persistent inconsistency in my blog’s taxonomy surfaced: while Time Management enjoys a fully developed tag (and even a sub‑tag), my posts on meditation, health, and well‑being were left without a proper home. This imbalance made little sense, given how these themes emerged from the same struggles that shaped the CogitActive Saga. It was time to fix that oversight — and introduce a new tag to bring coherence where it was missing.
In this latest installment of my ongoing bonus project miniseries, I had hoped to finally report some solution to the double‑headed problem of getting my little “doorbell” widget to appear when it should and where it should — but alas, there’s still no breakthrough to share. Despite laying out the issue in detail and inviting readers to outsmart both me and the machines, no solution has surfaced. Not yet.
Part 1 ended with that unsettling realization: the issue isn’t just technical limitations; it’s the confident bluffing that follows. In this second part, I’ll go further into what this means in practice—and what it means for anyone relying on Copilot to “read” anything online. And this time, I’ll also show you a reliable way to make Copilot pull the actual content of a page, so you can finally get answers based on what’s really there, not on whatever it managed to guess.
When you drop a URL into a conversation with Copilot, it feels natural to assume it can simply open the page and read it the way you do. After all, that’s how humans work: click, skim, understand. But the way Copilot interacts with web content is a little different — and understanding those differences helps you get the most out of it. Want to know more? Read the post.
I thought I’d reached the ground, but another blow found me before I could land. I’m still falling, still trying to catch my breath, and I don’t have the strength to write anything more.
No post this week. Work has hit harder than I could have imagined, turning last week’s half‑joke about The Long Work into something far less amusing. This time, the news was bad enough to pull the ground from under my feet. I’m still falling, and for now, I simply don’t have the strength—or the morale—to write.
This second Q&A picks up where the previous one left off, continuing a conversation that began with a single email and grew into something more reflective than I expected. If the first post was about bridging the gap between intention and understanding, this one is more intimate: a dialogue between two people navigating productivity, recovery, and the quiet work of rebuilding systems — and sometimes ourselves.
A tiny moment on this blog ended up meaning far more than expected: someone clicked “You made my day!” for the very first time. This short post shares why that simple reaction mattered — and what it reveals about the purpose behind my newly overhauled feedback system.
This post revisits my OneNote GTD setup through the lens of a reader’s thoughtful email. What was clear to me alone—how the pieces connect—proved less obvious to others. In response, I shared screenshots and explanations to make the structure transparent. And thanks to T. S.’s generous permission, this private exchange now becomes a public resource. If you find clarity here, you owe a word of thanks to him.
This early‑year outline sets the stage for what’s ahead: a long‑delayed bonus project, corrections to past CSS missteps, reflections on meditation apps, and broader plans for the blog and site. Each step builds steadily toward the release of the podcast — one post at a time.
