Does I find better help here? Definitely!
Thanks to fellow lemmings, for the past 2 weeks I have discovered a lot new solutions/apps/plugins! My workflow has improved a lot. So much so that now I spend more and more time on Lemmy, looking for new things. My productivity is almost down to zero. I'm loving it.
- I thought your productivity was meant to increase, not go down to zero. :P What things have you found which you could recommend?
  Notion.so has been something I've been warming to of late for planning, writing, noting things and whatnot, like a Google Doc but better organised for your personal stuff.
  
  These are just a few of the new things I've added/discovered recently thanks to Lemmy:
  Consent-O-Matic plugin, a browser extension that recognizes CMP (Consent Management Provider) pop-ups that have become ubiquitous on the web and automatically fills them out based on your preferences – even if you meet a dark pattern design;
  DeArrow plugin, an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube;
  "Activate Windows" watermark ported to Linux, which always makes me laugh;
  If you're using zsh, it has tetris built-in as a feature. To activate it, you run autoload -Uz tetriscurses, then run tetriscurses. A whole afternoon goes away;
  whateveritworks searxng instance. It's part of a collection of speedy and reliable self-hosted instances of popular FOSS projects, like Piped, Nitter and Hyperpipe. I'm again having fun searching the web.
  These are the ones that I can come up with from the top of my head. Try them out. If you heard of them from me, know you are actually learning them from Lemmy.
  
  The consent one is a great addition! I'll be adding that to all the computers I see as I'm fed up of being asked.
  Whatever seems good also, handy for football highlights and the like. Thanks!
- Sorry your productivity is down but amazing you find it so helpful and glad you enjoy it.
