It’s expensive, but I’ve always loved ergonomic keyboards and this one looks excellent.
Part 3 of Chris Lawley’s iPad Workflow
by
Every time I see Chris talk about Drafts I think I shoud use it, but then I use it and it feels like too much friction. Specifically the “folders” as workspaces pradigm doesn’t fit with my mindset on storing documents. Maybe I just need to commit to Drafts and dig in deep to grok it.

Jeff Perry going Analogue with Bullet Journal

[From Jeff](https://jeffperry.blog/2020/09/08/going-offline-has.html): > After starting out using this notebook I noticed the “intentional friction” with this system and it was something I hadn’t had in my other task managers.

Procase iPad Pro 2018 2020 keyboard case
by
We’ll start with a disclaimer, ProCase got me a 99% coupon for this case. I paid something for it, but barely anything. They hoped I write something about it or add it to a video, but didn’t make that a requirement, and they haven’t seen this until you’re seeing it. The other truth is that…
