Build A Content Calendar with TickTick

A while ago I showed off my [content calendar in Notion](https://curtismchale.ca/2020/04/20/build-a-content-calendar-in-notion). Even in that video you could see some of the cracks showing in what I was getting out of Notion. The iPad application doesn’t support a trackpad properly, and it’s slow…oh so slow. Today I’m going to show you my replacement content calendar built…

Automating Sorted3 with Shortcuts

Obsidian Files on Your iPad with 1Writer
by
While I’ve been loving [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) over the last few months as my main idea connection and research application, it does have one big shortcoming for those of us that are iPad first in our work. **There is no iPad/mobile application**. Yes one is coming, but it may be a while before we get it and…
