  • Fairly Minimal Bullet Journal Setup

    by

    [Nice fairly minimal Bullet Journal setup](https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZK5VUuxGYr0). I’ve been using a Bullet Journal setup for about 3 years, though I do use Things 3 a bit as well. I’ll be trying out dropping Things from my system and going only with the notebook. My biggest hurdle with that has always been “template” projects like uploading a…

  • How Joe Is Changing His Podcast For 2020

    by

    Enjoyed this video from Joe on what he’s going to be doing this year. I like how he looked at the popular episodes and tweaked what he’s doing based on that information. Cynthia and I have talked a bunch about how to evaluate what I’m doing as “side” projects so that they have a higher…

    How Does the LG 27UL500 Work With Your IPad Pro?

    by

    This year I’ve done some major office upgrades, going from a 9.7” iPad Pro to a maxed out 12.9” as well as upgrading an aging MacBook Air to a new fairly well upgrade Mac Mini. That left me with really only one big upgrade left to do, my older Dell 24” monitor. At the time…

  • StayGo USB C Hub for Your iPad Pro?

    StayGo USB C Hub for Your iPad Pro?

    by

    One of the crucial parts of any good ergonomic iPad desk setup is a solid USB C hub. For a while I used the Kingston USB C hub (see my video review), and while it’s decent it’s not perfect so I was on the lookout for something better. In particular I wanted a wired connection…

  • Joe Is Focused on Depth I’m Still Focused on Margin

    by

    Joe Casabona is focusing on depth this year. My theme last year was supposed to be space/margin as in I needed more of it. Sitting here on January 3, I failed pretty bad at it. I’m feeling more stressed lately and like I have less control of my time. It comes down to a few…

  • If You Don’t Trust Your Employees to Work Remotely Why Did You Hire Them?

    by

    Good article in Quartz about working remotely and the productivity benefits you can have. I’ll admit, that you do have to be focused and strict about your time at home though. Building software for startups is a huge challenge. Not because writing the software itself is that hard, but most startups have managed to create…

  • Writing a Book With Ulysses

    by

    I’m writing a new book (suscribe to get the rules to survive freelancing first) and using Scrivener as always, but it’s pretty rough on iPadOS. I’ve looked at Ulysses as well, and in my looking found this great post from Matt Gemmel on using Ulysses to write his books. How to Write a Novel with…

  • Overparenting Backfired

    by

    My thoughts align with this video on over parenting. I’m the dad at the park that sits as far away as possible reading a book really only paying attention to the 3-year-old. I’ve even had other parents chastise me for my very hands off approach. I’m working hard to let my kids be out doing…

  • Three (or More) Years to Success

    by

    Great video from Matt D’Avella about what it takes to succeed. Maybe you can’t launch and have a winning podcast in 2020, but could you start it and have a winning podcast in 2025? Because that’s how long it make take to actually win.
