Using Your Phone Means You’re Not Taking a Break
by
[Interesting story about how using your phone during a break means you’re not taking a break](https://www.nextgov.com/cio-briefing/2019/08/your-brain-doesnt-recharge-if-you-use-your-phone-break/159330/). > The participants who took phone breaks experienced the highest levels of mental depletion and were among the least capable of solving the puzzles afterwards. Their post-break efficiency and quickness was comparable to those with no break. Their number…
Friday Notes 086 – January 17 2020
by
This week has had at least 2 snow days (maybe more I’m working ahead because I have time right now instead of kids to watch) so the week has been broken up a bit. On one hand, it’s been tough to get stuff done, but on the other hand it’s been nice to hang out…
Don’t Just Focus on Profit Margin
by
[Justin Jackson wrote a good post centreing around profit margin](https://justinjackson.ca/margin) but I think he missed, or only barely grazed another type of margin that is key to having a good business. Plan old margin with your time. Yes some of the time space/margin/slack comes because you have a profitable business with good margin. That means…
Ryan Holiday on Reading Hard Books
by
I’m adjusting a bit of how I read this year. More biographies in the midst of my non-fiction. I’m hoping to start reading “above my level” so that I have to work at things to understand them. [Lucky for me Ryan Holiday just published a good guide on how to do just that](https://ryanholiday.net/read-to-lead/).
One Month With the Inateck KB02010 iPad Pro Keyboard Case
by
Let’s start this with a disclaimer, Inateck sent me the keyboard I’m reviewing today. They reached out to me about sending it to me for review, and since it was already on my list I said yes. Outside of that, they have said nothing about how it’s reviewed or what I say about it. Now,…
I Was Wrong About iPadOS Mouse Support
by
As iPadOS rolled out, I was not super excited about mouse support. Oh sure I saw some utility in using it for recording screencasts with my iPad, but I didn’t think I’d use it day to day. I was completely wrong. ### Allows Ergonomic Setups One of the biggest votes in favour of using a…

[For the Bullet Journal Data Nerds this was a great video](https://youtu.be/XAw1jAk8ofA), specifically for the ladies as she talks about how she tracks her cycle and hormones in her Bullet Journal.
Is Wifi Harming Our Children?
by
I write this today because of a conversation last night I had with a very fervent parent claiming that Wifi was bad for children’s organs. Her main point was that some schools in [Europe banned Wifi because of the possible adverse health effects on children](https://www.wirelesseducation.org/1073-2/). So of course I went and found the research they…
Friday Notes 085 – January 10 2020
by
Back from 2 weeks mostly off work, and I spent lots of time skiing with my family. At this point that means I spent most of my time on the easy hill with my 3 and 5 year old teaching them to ski a bit. Also lots of time just playing in the snow and…
Joe on How He Keeps Up With His Writing Goal
by
[Joe has a good post on how he keeps writing](https://joebuhlig.com/the-tricks-i-use-to-develop-a-writing-habit/), and the struggles he had in it. For him a piece of software, Ulysses, worked to help him track stats and keep on his goal of writing. I schedule time for “production” daily after I read for an hour I have an hour to produce…
