  • What Made Drafts Work for Me

    What Made Drafts Work for Me

    by

    While I’ve used [Drafts](https://getdrafts.com) in the past, I just didn’t fit my head properly. Something about workspaces instead of files and folders always seemed like a stumbling block. One of the big reasons this sucked is that there were a few crucial automations that I loved in Drafts. My most used one was to get…

  • Reclaimed by Andy Steiger

    Reclaimed by Andy Steiger

    by

    After I read The God Delusion, I had more than one atheist reach out to me asking if I had books on faith that would be compelling. They felt that I had treated the material in the book fairly and wanted to do the same thing. Then my wife told me an old friend had…

    Scope Creep by Stealth – Friday Notes 120

    by

    One insidious way that your time and attention gets stolen is scope creep by stealth. It starts with agreeing to a call to talk about something you’re interested in. Then they ask for a headshot and bio from you since they’ll be publishing the talk. Next they want to have a pre-call, which is likely…

I’d certainly recommend trying it if you’re not doing anything about time blocking right now. > I’ve got a course coming on time blocking too, [subscribe to make sure you hear about it](https://curtismchale.ca)

    Zettelkasten Quick Entry with iPhone Back Tap

    by

    I wanted a way to automate entering writing ideas and thoughts into my Zettelkasten system via 1Writer. Yes others use Drafts and then migrate content, but that seems like a step I wanted to avoid much of the time. Enter back tap on iOS 14, which you can set to trigger a shortcut. Today I’m…

  • Two Favourite Obsidian Graph Updates

    Two Favourite Obsidian Graph Updates

    by

    Early on I fell in love with the graph features in [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md). I mean they look super cool, but the truth is they weren’t all that useful until recently. Today we’re going to take a look at two updates to the graph view in Obsidian that have made it so much more powerful than it…

  • Three Methods of Task Management

    by

    I like the observation around 5:00 about the issues with different types of systems. Paper systems are a bunch of management in flipping pages. Yes I know paper planner people say (and I agree) that if it’s feeling like too much management it’s because the tasks you’re moving around are of little value. The problem…
