Output Before Consumption
One of the biggest traps that people fall into is a type of false productivity. It’s organizing their task lists and doing all the “little” things that make you feel good but don’t push forward any of your major projects in any way. I’ve fallen into this regularly. Putting out YouTube videos and jumping between…
2022 Focused iPad Desk with iPadOS 16
While I spent a number of years doing everything I could to do all my work on my iPad, eventually it seemed like I was fighting the iPadOS more than getting any work done. Once in a while I’d grab a second monitor from my macOS setup and use my iPad with an external monitor…

Gaining Work Freedom with Work I Don’t Want to Do
