Look into using GNU stow! It's exactly what you're doing but it creates the symlinks for you.

I love this solution, I've been using it for years. I had previously just been using the home directory is a git repo approach, and it never quite felt natural to me and came with quite a few annoyances. Adding stow to the mix was exactly what I needed.
The Gray Death Legion trilogy and the Warrior trilogy are good options.
Check out CalCurse, I use it for exactly this purpose. It's primarily a curses tui application but it can also print itineraries and todos to the console.
I did it in my down time at work in a few days on an early 2010ish thinkpad.
As somone in IT who has to deal with executives I can assure you that high compensation has no correlation with good security practices :(
knock 3 times
oh boy, the knock 3 times rule, that brings back some memories. I spent a miserable 6 months as a Mormon missionary and my first companion would always knock 3 times. I always felt it was rude, especially when he would do it at a house where we knew someone was home and just not answering the door.
Well I know what I'm making for lunch now.
I bought an OnlyKey a few months ago and love it.
Hey, I have a career question this week! I've been a sysadmin for the last 1.5 years (It's a small shop so everything security related is currently my responsibility). I'll soon be graduating with a BS in Cybersecurity & Information Assurance. I'm SSCP, CySA+, and PenTest+ certified. I want to end up in a penetration testing role. Once I graduate, should I start looking for pen testing gigs immediately or do you think I ought to get some experience directly in the security industry first? Would getting OSCP help my chances of moving directly to pen testing?
I disagree, i've found pretty adequate for my needs. I agree the UI isn't great, it reminds me of how Blender used to be, but I use it for all my parametric modelling for 3d printing stuff around the house. Fusion 360 is a better experience overall but to say FreeCAD is garbage seems extreme. If you need hobbyist software and care about your freedoms at all it's worth the slight inconvenience to use FreeCAD instead.
If you're looking at paying for certs I personally would stick with ones from common organizations, like CompTIA, (ISC)^2, SANS, Cisco, etc. I think a lot of the value in the cert (at least for career purposes) comes from the name recognition and trust placed in the organization certifying you. A recruiter looks at a Sec+ credential and knows exactly what that entails, whereas a certification from a lesser known organization or community college doesn't do much to tell them what you know or have studied.
