What Made Drafts Work for Me
by
While I’ve used [Drafts](https://getdrafts.com) in the past, I just didn’t fit my head properly. Something about workspaces instead of files and folders always seemed like a stumbling block. One of the big reasons this sucked is that there were a few crucial automations that I loved in Drafts. My most used one was to get…
Reclaimed by Andy Steiger
by
After I read The God Delusion, I had more than one atheist reach out to me asking if I had books on faith that would be compelling. They felt that I had treated the material in the book fairly and wanted to do the same thing. Then my wife told me an old friend had…
Scope Creep by Stealth – Friday Notes 120
by
One insidious way that your time and attention gets stolen is scope creep by stealth. It starts with agreeing to a call to talk about something you’re interested in.

Two Favourite Obsidian Graph Updates
by
Early on I fell in love with the graph features in [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md). I mean they look super cool, but the truth is they weren’t all that useful until recently. Today we’re going to take a look at two updates to the graph view in Obsidian that have made it so much more powerful than it…
Three Methods of Task Management
by
I like the observation around 5:00 about the issues with different types of systems. Paper systems are a bunch of management in flipping pages. Yes I know paper planner people say (and I agree) that if it’s feeling like too much management it’s because the tasks you’re moving around are of little value. The problem…
