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.

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
Strong Towns & Financially Insolvent American Cities
by
This upcoming series looks fascinating. My wife and I are in a battle over a second car, which would mosty be for my use transporting kids to things. I don’t want one, and she thinks we need one. I think we simply are trying to avoid a tiny amount of inconvienence.
Ideal Day Overload
by
Love Peter’s distinction between an ideal day and a real day around the 8:00 mark. We usually try to have ideal days and then fault ourselves when they don’t happen. Try to plan for a real day instead.
Simpletivity – Why Not Todoist
by
I particularly liked his arguments about adding friction to defering tasks around the 5:00 mark. This is why I use time blocking and all tasks must go on a calendar to get done. It’s far to easy to commit to something for Future Curtis, that Current Curtis knows he doesn’t have time for. Future Curtis
