    Logitech Slim Folio Pro for 12.9” iPad Pro – A Review

    by

    While previous iPad’s I’ve owned started as consumption devices and then turned into productivity devices my purchase of an iPad Pro 12.9” over Christmas was fully focused on making the iPad my primary working machine. Over 6-months in, and with a 1 month old Mac Mini, I can say that this has largely been achieved.…

  • Target Lot’s of Fish

    by

    From Justin Jackson: Many of the problems entrepreneurs face are related to targeting a niche where there aren’t a lot of fish, or the fish aren’t biting. Does that sound like the niche you’re targeting? Also, as Justin says later, you need to find something that these “lots of fish” actually want. If it’s a…

    Opening My Workflows to Break System Lock in and Tracking

    by

    For about 10 years now I’ve been a happy Apple user, though lately I’ve been less happy with at least some of their offerings. My biggest issue lately has been that I don’t like their laptop line at all. Even if I was to ignore the keyboard woes plaguing their butterfly keyboards, I don’t think…

  • Kid’s Want Time Not Toys

    by

    Short cute story about what a kid really wants. And that’s when it hit me. My daughter wasn’t holding on to the memory of playing with these specific dolls. She was holding on to the memory of playing with me. Time and money had been wasted when I could have simply used the toys we…

  • Cal Newport: Sorrow and Pleasure of No Screen

    by

    Find the whole article here but this is what stood out to me. She ended up cancelling the Netflix subscription she previously relied on to escape from life. It stood out because I’ve been thinking seriously about it for a while now. I guess I should talk to my wife about cutting the Netflix subscription…

    Freelance Friday 057 – May 31 2019

    by

    This week was a loooong week as we wind down the skating season with a bunch of “fun” events that has my whole family going to support my wife (the coach) and my oldest (a skater). In theory next week starts to calm down, but that’s only a theory at this point. Watch for a…

  • Why People Write iPad “in the Real World” Work Pieces

    by

    Inspired by this post and specifically this quote: Ask yourself: if the iPad really was that good, wouldn’t that be a rather self-evident fact then? Would you need an article (or several dozen actually, published over the course of nine years) that tried to convince you of the merits of such a device? Or change…

  • Cal Newport on the Indie Web

    by

    I enjoyed this post by Newport about the Indie web. I’m on Mastodon more and more and Twitter less and less. I left Facebook behind long ago and haven’t looked back. Instagram, is a bit more problematic because I genuinely enjoy it, but it’s also owned by Facebook who is a bane on society. Newport’s…

  • Always Enough Work

    by

    You will always be able to find enough work to skip your run. There will always be one more thing to do so you can’t go watch your kid swim or skate or play basketball. There is always one more email that will entice you to keep your laptop open instead of curling up with…

  • Faith Based Productivity Launched

    by

    I’ve talked about Mike’s Faith Based Productivity before and I’m not only telling you it’s good, I am a client. There is no affiliate thing going on, I just like Mike’s course and think that if you’re looking for a place that takes your faith into account with your productivity, you won’t find a better…
