  • Matt on The Dunning-Kruger Effect

    by

    Social media especially convinces everyone that they are an expert in a subject immediately. It’s amazing how I follow the same people, but that group is an expert in the auto industry when there are Apple car rumors, epidemiologists when there’s a public health crisis, and a payments expert when there’s App Store rule news.…

    Reset Your Overwhelming Task List

    by

    One of the best reasons to switch to a new task manager is that you finally say no to all those things you were never going to do in the first place. That hammock you were going to put up for your kids in the summer finally doesn’t get moved to the new tool because…

  • You Must Read to Write

    by

    I absolutely agree with Greg, to write and create you must read. One of the things I’ve “struggled” with this year is reading books. Well that’s not entirely true, I’ve struggled to read non-fiction books at my regular pace. In total this year I’ve read 63 books this year and 27 of them have been…

  • Barriers Clarify

    by

    In the same way someone who wants to lose weight might hide the sweet treats, I am putting my weakness behind as much of a hurdle as I can.  Greg Morris One of the reasons I love Analogue Productivity is that your notebook defaults to no. It’s not going to move tasks forward for you.…

    by

    Today we’re going to look at the Incremental Writing plugin for Obsidian. At first, I had no idea why it was named as it was because it’s more a spaced repetition plugin than a writing one. Evidently, Incremental Writing is the act of cycling through your notes and doing a bit of work on them…
