Joe on How He Keeps Up With His Writing Goal
by
[Joe has a good post on how he keeps writing](https://joebuhlig.com/the-tricks-i-use-to-develop-a-writing-habit/), and the struggles he had in it. For him a piece of software, Ulysses, worked to help him track stats and keep on his goal of writing. I schedule time for “production” daily after I read for an hour I have an hour to produce
Fairly Minimal Bullet Journal Setup
by
[Nice fairly minimal Bullet Journal setup](https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZK5VUuxGYr0). I’ve been using a Bullet Journal setup for about 3 years, though I do use Things 3 a bit as well. I’ll be trying out dropping Things from my system and going only with the notebook. My biggest hurdle with that has always been “template” projects like uploading a
How Joe Is Changing His Podcast For 2020
by
Enjoyed this video from Joe on what he’s going to be doing this year. I like how he looked at the popular episodes and tweaked what he’s doing based on that information. Cynthia and I have talked a bunch about how to evaluate what I’m doing as “side” projects so that they have a higher
Joe Is Focused on Depth I’m Still Focused on Margin
by
Joe Casabona is focusing on depth this year. My theme last year was supposed to be space/margin as in I needed more of it. Sitting here on January 3, I failed pretty bad at it. I’m feeling more stressed lately and like I have less control of my time. It comes down to a few
If You Don’t Trust Your Employees to Work Remotely Why Did You Hire Them?
by
Good article in Quartz about working remotely and the productivity benefits you can have. I’ll admit, that you do have to be focused and strict about your time at home though.

by
I’m writing a new book (suscribe to get the rules to survive freelancing first) and using Scrivener as always, but it’s pretty rough on iPadOS. I’ve looked at Ulysses as well, and in my looking found this great post from Matt Gemmel on using Ulysses to write his books. How to Write a Novel with
Overparenting Backfired
by
My thoughts align with this video on over parenting. I’m the dad at the park that sits as far away as possible reading a book really only paying attention to the 3-year-old. I’ve even had other parents chastise me for my very hands off approach. I’m working hard to let my kids be out doing
Three (or More) Years to Success
by
Great video from Matt D’Avella about what it takes to succeed. Maybe you can’t launch and have a winning podcast in 2020, but could you start it and have a winning podcast in 2025? Because that’s how long it make take to actually win.
A Printed Book Simply Feels Better to Me
by
I was on the ebook train for a few years. I have around 500 ebooks in fact. I even gave away almost all my print books to a local used book store for in store credit. But in 2019 despite reading 70+ books I maybe read one in digital form. I find ebooks hard to
The Cost of High-Pressure Rush Delivery
by
From Nick Heer: Many vehicles might not be on the road if it were not for Amazon’s high-pressure rush delivery options. It is worrying that these companies are aware of the negative results of programs like Amazon Prime, but are slow to make changes for the better as they continue to hurry packages along. If
