by
What if a notebook doesn’t keep up with your thoughts? Wait, what if you’re thinking about it all wrong and you’re attempting to move far faster than you can realistically while giving your tasks and ideas the thought they require? I still sit with a notebook in front of me daily. I track my tasks
Lou’s personal blog
by
I read Lou’s blog and love the tidbits of life he shares. I do think of his wife as Wonder Woman and have no idea what her “real” name is. I’d love to know about your personal blog too.
I’ve tried so many systems to get more done
by
I’ve tried so many creative systems to make myself work faster. Again and again, I have found that pushing myself simply steals from the future. Every time I push too hard and cut back down to a sustainable pace, I’m tempted to test my boundaries, to add just a little more, a little more, a

Apps Outside the US
by
Lou has a good list of apps that won’t be subject to the changing privacy whims of the US government because they’re outside the US. I’m not sure that’s true given that we see many companies saying that they “comply with all local laws” but at this point I’m much happier to support anything that’s
