  • Part 4 Chris Lawley iPad Hardware

    by

    I’ve wanted that CalDigit dock since I saw him show it off a year ago. It’s expensive, then it’s much more expensive in Canada.

  • Justin OmniFocus Setup and Channels of Work

    by

    I used to do something like Justin’s work channels in that I’d only allow myself 2 main projects. Usually that was one client project and one personal project. I’ve fallen a bit out of that. I usually have one “big” client project in a week. One “big” me project in a week, but then making…

    Due or Do – Friday Notes 119

    by

    In my recent video where I recommended my top five task managers one of the YouTube commenters made an excellent point about the difference between a task that is **due** and what I plan to **do** in a day. We often treat these things as the same, when they’re totally different things. A great example…

  • Information Doesn’t Want to Be Free

    Information Doesn’t Want to Be Free

    by

    There is a famous line that says information wants to be free, but Cory Doctrow would disagree with that statement. In fact the title of his book, Information Doesn’t Want to Be Free, clearly contradicts this statement. The purpose of Doctrow’s book is to show users how to make money in the current internet system[^1].…

  • The Next Tag in OmniFocus

    by

    I like this idea. When I did Bullet Journal I ran a few lists that had a similar function. I had lists for: – thisweek – nextweek – thismonth – nextmonth I’d migrate tasks between the lists and when it came to planning I’d look at `#thisweek` and arrange the tasks into the week so…

  • Just Like a Baby Adults Need Rest

    by

    Loved the comparison between a baby and an adult both needing a rest from stuff. Less than 30 seconds in I was nodding my head agreeing with it. One of the things I do many days a week is take an hour and walk in the middle of the day. Just get out and walk…

  • OmniFocus and Things Comparison

    by

    Good comparison of OmniFocus and Things 3. I’m wondering if TickTick is really the right tool for me. It’s falling down in the automation department because it doesn’t allow you to create a list/project automatically. These are the two strongest contenders right now.

  • 20 Macs for 2020 – Mac Portable

    by

    I’ve listened to most of these in podcast form, but I’ve got the videos queued up as well because I want to see these cool pieces of Apple history. The intro is pretty cheesy…like you’re dad trying to be cool cheesy. I guess they’re both dad’s though, as am I.

  • Matt Ragland on Time Blocking

    by

    I like how Matt used some blocks to visually represent how his time blocks work. Like Matt, I start by blocking out the things I can’t change like the time I need to watch kids or run or do other stuff that limits the amount of time I can work in a week. Once you’ve…

  • Obsidian Tour from Justin

    by

    I don’t use the Maps of Content stuff he does, but if you’re looking for how someone uses Obsidian day to day, this is a good video.
