Hrm – can you even trust books?
by
So Dan Ariely seems to have fudged data that went into his books? Between this and If Books Could Kill I really wonder if I can trust any of the books that I read. At the very least I am far more skeptical of any claims made in books, but unfortunately I’m not always equipped…
The long note task system avoids “due bombs”
by
Two interviewees described this approach as “like paper, but with links.” Many note-centric people I talked to appreciate that notes avoid the ceremony of GTD-style task-tracking tools, and the overwhelm that can come from “due bombs” and other anti-patterns in systems like this. Allen Pike Prompted by my earlier link to Greg and his Field…
One book per month – Field Notes Bullet Journal

Love this short report on how Greg is using his Bullet Journal via Field Notes books. I do have TickTick as my regular task manager…in theory. In reality, I write down what I need to do in a notebook at my desk and then do it. The only hard part is tracking links to things…

Foxconn industry investment was a can
by
Unsurprisingly, subsidies given to Foxconn were a terrible deal for citizens. The jobs never materialized in real ways.
