• 10 Blocks of Time – How Matt Ragland Time Blocks

    by

    Don’t think this is what works with me, but maybe Matt’s method of time blocking will work for you. I’d certainly recommend trying it if you’re not doing anything about time blocking right now. > I’ve got a course coming on time blocking too, [subscribe to make sure you hear about it](https://curtismchale.ca)

    Zettelkasten Quick Entry with iPhone Back Tap

    by

    I wanted a way to automate entering writing ideas and thoughts into my Zettelkasten system via 1Writer. Yes others use Drafts and then migrate content, but that seems like a step I wanted to avoid much of the time. Enter back tap on iOS 14, which you can set to trigger a shortcut. Today I’m

    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.

    by

    I used to do something like Justin’s work channels in that I’d only allow myself 2 main projects. Usually that was one client project and one personal project. I’ve fallen a bit out of that. I usually have one “big” client project in a week. One “big” me project in a week, but then making

    Due or Do – Friday Notes 119

    by

    In my recent video where I recommended my top five task managers one of the YouTube commenters made an excellent point about the difference between a task that is **due** and what I plan to **do** in a day. We often treat these things as the same, when they’re totally different things. A great example

    Information Doesn’t Want to Be Free

    by

    There is a famous line that says information wants to be free, but Cory Doctrow would disagree with that statement.
