Opening My Workflows to Break System Lock in and Tracking
by
For about 10 years now I’ve been a happy Apple user, though lately I’ve been less happy with at least some of their offerings. My biggest issue lately has been that I don’t like their laptop line at all. Even if I was to ignore the keyboard woes plaguing their butterfly keyboards, I don’t think…
Kid’s Want Time Not Toys
by
Short cute story about what a kid really wants. And that’s when it hit me. My daughter wasn’t holding on to the memory of playing with these specific dolls. She was holding on to the memory of playing with me. Time and money had been wasted when I could have simply used the toys we…
Cal Newport: Sorrow and Pleasure of No Screen
by
Find the whole article here but this is what stood out to me. She ended up cancelling the Netflix subscription she previously relied on to escape from life. It stood out because I’ve been thinking seriously about it for a while now. I guess I should talk to my wife about cutting the Netflix subscription…
Freelance Friday 057 – May 31 2019
by
This week was a loooong week as we wind down the skating season with a bunch of “fun” events that has my whole family going to support my wife (the coach) and my oldest (a skater). In theory next week starts to calm down, but that’s only a theory at this point. Watch for a…
Why People Write iPad “in the Real World” Work Pieces
by
Inspired by this post and specifically this quote: Ask yourself: if the iPad really was that good, wouldn’t that be a rather self-evident fact then? Would you need an article (or several dozen actually, published over the course of nine years) that tried to convince you of the merits of such a device? Or change…
Cal Newport on the Indie Web
by
I enjoyed this post by Newport about the Indie web. I’m on Mastodon more and more and Twitter less and less. I left Facebook behind long ago and haven’t looked back. Instagram, is a bit more problematic because I genuinely enjoy it, but it’s also owned by Facebook who is a bane on society. Newport’s…
Always Enough Work
by
You will always be able to find enough work to skip your run. There will always be one more thing to do so you can’t go watch your kid swim or skate or play basketball. There is always one more email that will entice you to keep your laptop open instead of curling up with…
Faith Based Productivity Launched
by
I’ve talked about Mike’s Faith Based Productivity before and I’m not only telling you it’s good, I am a client. There is no affiliate thing going on, I just like Mike’s course and think that if you’re looking for a place that takes your faith into account with your productivity, you won’t find a better…
Is Reeder 4 or Unread the Best iOS RSS Reader?
by
A while ago I said that Unread was the new bar for having a beautifully readable interface for your text based content. It was so much better I felt that Instapaper needed to take a step forward to keep up. Now Unread has some faults, most glaringly it’s entire lack of the ability to manage…
After work there is still all the chores to do for working families
by
From Screentime Age: At three, most families choose Community preschool programs, which often only run for two hours a day. Kids go to another child care provider after this. Then when parents come home after working a full day they are still left with all of the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and housework to do. Schools…
