Practical uses for KDE Plasma Activities

URL Scrapbook

Web browsers have bookmarks so that users can easily find links they want to use later. However, Activities make saving links for later use even easier.

All you need is an Activity with a link to a web browser. When you want to save a URL, drag it to the desktop, and save it with an appropriate name. Group URLS if you need to organize them.

Organizing by Location

Although Activities are usually organized by task or project, another way to organize them is by location. For example, if you use your computer at work, home, and school, you could create Activities for each of these locations.

On the Work Activity, you could add launchers for LibreOffice, the directory containing your work files, a to-do list, and URLS for your company's or department's Slack channels. On the School Activity, you might include BasKet, KDE's note-taking application, and a Calendar for assignment and exam dates. On the Home Activity, the launchers could include your favorite games and the URLs for Google+ and Twitter, making them accessible with a single click.
