Deep Work by Calvin Newport


I have read his book, I agree with him on a lot of things. But , his life scenario isn't everyone's. Some have to use social media to get visibility.


I agree but the premise of my comment was to take a deep hard look at reasons to use Twitter and then use it judiciously and with a purpose. Something similar to keep some time aside for just Twitter.


I do almost the same thing with pocket and GitHub. I use Pocket to save articles. I slack in tagging them but sometimes sit down and tag all the untagged items at once. About going back, I have recently started taking notes from them in a Github readme so that I can just go back to the readme and find the appropriate one to see. I have only recently started doing this as the number of saved articles have become overwhelming.

It works out well, if not perfect. Usually, articles are not to be re-read completely, only the important parts or the gist is enough.

Please let me know what are your thoughts regarding this. May be we will both find a better way to deal with this.


This is similar to what I do, save brief notes about important stuff. I hardly save links. Mostly it's a line or 2 from the link that I save.


You can always put the link along with the lines so that you can still access it.


Will be very interested.


Are you planning to make it free or sell it? You can explore gumroad, leanpub, or packtpub, may be.


Could go either way - leaning towards making it free.


So many free resources are available for computer science students and I am jealous. Therefore, I started making this list for mechanical engineering students. Feel free to send pull requests or send me your favorite resources by email.


PR Send. If you want link to work, you should not put a ' ' between `[title]` and `(link)` in markdown.


I accepted, please suggest more links and improvements

Please feel free to contribute to this list. As this list is still in a nascent stage, I will appreciate if you can advice here in HN about what to add.


Use Pocket app (https://getpocket.com/)

It is available as browser extension and app. If you install it in chrome, a save to pocket link is shown next to each article header.


You can start with LaTeX templates from sharelatex.com. They have some really good templates.


The kelly-dunn CV is really good looking (4.5/5)and clean in HTML. PDF, not so much.
