How I Use Day Planner for Daily Notes in Obsidian
by
When I got started in Obsidian I didn’t find daily notes all that useful, but that changed a number of months ago. I now use daily notes almost every day of the week to keep myself organized and to keep a time log of my day. This video will talk you through how I use…
A Life Lived Remotely by Siobhan McKeown
by
I heard about this book when it came out and figured it would be a light read about how to do remote work well. While it does talk about the author’s journey in remote working, A Life Lived Remotely, is actually a much deeper book on many fronts. The goal of the book is to…
Max Tech on M1 iPad Issues
by
Good look at the issues with the M1 iPad and iPadOS 14 (and still 15). None of them are in the class I entirely discount when someone complains the iPad doesn’t work like the computer they’re used to. Two weeks into owning the M1 iPad Pro, I like it. No regrets in the decsion since…
Task Managers Make it TOO EASY to Input Tasks
by
Jamie Todd Rubin on the ease of entry for task managers. The fact that to-do apps makes it easier for us to record what we have to do is part of the problem. We accumulate more stuff because it is easy to accumulate. The fact that there are market forces driving us to feel more…
Sync Obsidian Settings
by
As I said when I talked about how to sync your Obsidian files, you can also sync your settings if you use the Obsidian Sync service. To do this, purchase Obsidian sync then under your sync settings, turn on the sync of your system settings. You can even choose to sync your settings differently depending…

The Productivity Project by Chris Bailey
by
What is the point of productivity books? For some, it’s really just productivity porn, a way to say you’re being productive as you read about getting stuff done. If that’s you then Chris Bailey’s The Productivity Project tells you early on that this is not the book you’re looking for. According to Bailey productivity is…
Is OmniFocus Legacy Software?
by
With OmniFocus 4 in TestFlight I thought I’d check it out for my regular light task needs again. The specific draw was the automation available, which is their own thing and is cross-platform. This is far better than what Things 3 provides, with little automation on macOS and on iOS you need to create a…
Download Markdown Notes from Kindle
by
Dr Brad Davis did an excellent video about how to use Readwise to get your Kindle notes into your Obsidian database. I don’t actually use my Kindle enough for reading to warrant an extra fee for Readwise regularly so I use his second free option in the form of Markdownload as a Chrome extension. Today…
