I’ve left Goodreads for Storygraph
by
For close to 8 years I’ve used Goodreads to track my reading. I didn’t know Goodreads before Amazon purchased them and never thought much about it. Lately that’s changed though. Amazon has so much data and [terrible business practices](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Amazon). I’ve been trying to remove Amazon from my shopping and life as much as possible. Luckily…
A Better Computer making me feel guilty
by
Been looking at trading in my 2018 Mac Mini (maxed out) for an M1 machine, but Matt is now making me feel guilty for looking at that upgrade. I do have a similar computer to what he’s using, but I have it as a media server up on the shelf with the TV.
Ryan Holiday’s Best books of 2020
by
I always take a look at Ryan’s recommendations for books but I’m linking to this because…dang those bookshelves. I totally want a room/office like that one day.
Emma Cragg, neat Bullet Journal
by
This is a decent not too fancy [Bullet Journal Setup from Emma Cragg](https://ekcragg.co.uk/article/my-bullet-journal-setup/). I’m just looking at closing out my 1/2 filled notebook from last year and moving to a new Bullet Journal (their new edition even) and have been thinking about how to track my goals. I like the single pages at the front…
Drew Coffman on Journalling in Roam – No one will look through your Roam graph after you
by
I love most of the sentiments here for journalling but strong question if someone will be looking through is “graph” in Roam Research (or any digital tool actually Roam is just what he cites and uses). Text on paper is so much more accessible. You find notebooks in boxes as you unpack from a realtive…
Build Custom Coiled USB Cable

I’ve been thinking about tackling this project for a while, and this may be exactly the video I needed. Great explanation of how to do the coils and get them tight. Now to get the parts I need.
Chris Lawley’s Ergonomic iPad Setup
by
Yes Chris’ setup is decent, but I still don’t think that external monitor support for iPad is anywhere near good enough to use regularly. I have a second monitor I can use with the iPad, but almost never do it. I stick with my magnetic VESA mount and the iPad by itself.
How I use Obsidian with Keep Productive
by
Before Christmas I sat down with Francesco to talk about how I use Obsidian.
Paul Graham on Disagreeing
by
[Written in 2008 Paul Graham](http://paulgraham.com/disagree.html) writes eloquently about levels of disagreeing. It would be great to say that we all rose to his highest level of disagreement, where we dig into the central argument and refute it. Unfortunately most online disagreement, almost all of it in fact, hits the lowest denominator. Name calling. Of course…
Dealing with Task Overwhelm
by
If you find yourself staring down a day with way too many tasks in it, then this is a good way to deal with them. I think that the truth is, you have a bigger problem though because you let this happen in the first place. If you’ve done your weekly review, and daily reviews…
