Maybe the Friction of Mastodon is a good thing
by
Matt has a good point. As I’ve thought about before, I’m learning that I’m personally more excited about ActivityPub than I am about Mastodon specifically. I’m excited about the idea of being able to use Ivory to log into my Mastodon account and talk to people using Micro.blog, Tumblr, or Threads (one day). RSS currently…
The Dilemma of Content Creators
by
From Sebastien Dubois: The one part I’m disappointed about is the MRR of this newsletter. As I write edition after edition, week after week, I notice how little progress I manage to make. You are now 800+ subscribers, and I’ve only managed to convince 6 of you (❤️) that my work is worth supporting (i.e.,…
People Really Don’t Want to Work in the Office
by
So it turns out that people like flexible work and don’t want return-to-office policies mandated. I’m baffled that companies were caught off guard by high attrition rates when they mandated return-to-office policies. Employees got a taste of what autonomy is like and realized that sitting in the office every day all day was a bad…

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
by
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…
