comment How can I automatically clear my inbox?
Neat idea to remove time-sensitive labels. However, why not move those mails out of your inbox when they arrive into a separate folder and then process that folder as often as needed? You can simply select all and delete as you see fit.

comment What methods exist to keep yourself motivated when working alone?
This answer reminds me of coworking. Look for a coworking place near you.

comment Where should I store good advice?
Simple, I like it! I would just be worried about forgetting things again later. I suppose that instead of deleting I would move things I know to an archive section at the end of the note.

comment Why am I not able to motivate myself to code?
Find a coding buddy. I don't know where or how so I'll just leave this as a comment. It's great to get all worked up about cool new tech and then work together on coding it up, dragging each other through motivational dips.

Good points. I do try to incorporate only a little new advice at a time :-)

Good thinking! I'll try the flashcard thing to internalize stuff I want to own and then use your queue to stuff in new content.

comment How to retain focus without coffee?
You may want to look at your health in general as well, if you need 5/6 cups to be alert. Personally I gained a lot of energy from switching to a Paleo diet, in particular perfecthealthdiet.com

So you regularly review everything you stored under your tags? Isn't that a lot of information? Don't you get desensitized to it?

So if I understand you correctly, you digest good advice and anything else you need to remember down to flash cards and then you read flashcards when you have spare time? When do you remove a flashcard from your stack? Any good links to flashcard software you use?

comment How do I take quick notes in odd places to maintain mind like water?
@Belisama you can write it down as soon as you listen to your voice mail. If you use a smart phone it could do dictation for you. You could use a transcription service. All you need to do is capture the thought before it flees, what you do with it later is separate.

So using your phone is out? Even if you have a really basic phone you can still call yourself and leave yourself voicemail...
