This is NOT a complete review of Things 3
by
While I’ve been reliant on paper based productivity for a while now, there is something about a digital task manager that still seems useful to me during times that my business is ramping up in complexity. I started this review in late September 2018 when I had 3 code projects going, 6 writing assignments for…
Looking at 2Do as an OmniFocus Replacement
by
While we all need to be careful about succumbing to shiny object syndrome when it comes to applications and workflows, but there is often something to learn from them. Case in point is my experience with 2Do as I was trying out SetApp. By default, 2Do filters out tasks that are set to start at…
Does Squash Add Value to SetApp?
by
SetApp has been around for a bit and is interesting. It takes a number of popular Mac Applications and bundles them in to a single inexpensive monthly subscription.

Exploring the Pocket Notebook
by
So, I’ve got a pocket notebook and I love it. I use it to write out a quick grocery list (often actually copied out of the shared list in Todoist). I use it to jot down quick thoughts that will end up in Evernote, Todoist, or — nowhere. I use it for a trip journal…
Reviewing Alternote – Distraction-free markdown with Evernote?
by
A while ago I talked about how Evernote took over my life, and in that post I talked about Blogo which was pretty cool but had a few holes in it. I dropped Blogo and will cover my specific frustrations with it in a future post. I actually stopped using Evernote for my writing workflow…
