  • On Baby Changing Areas in a Men’s Bathroom

    by

    This article from Hugh Wilson reminded me of my similar battles. The worst was the kids store that had a men’s bathroom, no family bathroom and no changing space in the men’s bathroom. Oh, and you couldn’t fit a stroller between the racks of clothes in the store either. For that store, it certainly seemed

  • Simon Sinek on Social Media and Addiction

    by

    https://youtu.be/3ev7GXzFTPg I think the “Millennial” thing makes many roll their eyes when they look at videos/blog posts/stuff like this. I do like the bent towards Science and dopamine. I’m happy that I’ve mostly disengaged from social media. Have you thought about your use of Social Media this way? Are you going to do anything about

  • Colour and Bullet Journal

    by

    The thing I like about this Bullet Journal is the colour. I do my weekly plan by colour so I know what’s going on. If you want to see how I do Bullet Journal, and organize my whole system around going analogue, then you can read about it in Analogue Productivity.

    by

    Better Blocker updated for iOS 12 and macOS Mojave. I use it on iOS and since I’m iOS first that’s mostly what matters for me. So much tracking and you can stop a bunch of it with Better Blocker

  • If you’re wondering about new iPhones

    by

    Then The Sweet Setup has a review. I still don’t think that the new iPhones provide much value though. Certainly not over $1000 of value. So that leaves me maybe looking at Android. Unfortunately it seems I may have to spend a bunch just to get a phone where they keep up with security updates

  • Apple Watch Series 4 – Why Not Just Disconnet?

    by

    Where Patrick was excited about this final paragraph in Shawn’s article, I’m wondering why we can’t just disconnect? It allows me to leave my smartphone at home but still be reachable by text or phone (and I can still stream music to my bluetooth AirPods if I’m at the gym or driving the CJ), but

  • More Goodness in Ferrite for iOS

    by

    I read this and yes I’ll be purchasing the update to Ferrite. The only reason I haven’t is that I run my business on Profit First and it’s not pay day so I don’t have expenses in my expense account. That means on Sept 25th I’ll make the purchase. Unfortunately, I still don’t see the

    This post on DEVONthink and Notebooks as an alternative to Evernote got me thinking again about what I do. Here is a quick rundown of what I tried. DEVONthink for iOS and macOS I tried this and there is so much to love about it. The “trial” mode felt really weird at first, but in

  • Tracking Goes Everywhere

    by

    While I love working at home, I also love the freedom to work from anywhere. I’m writing this sitting at a local coffee shop just down the road from my house. It’s literally a block of walking to get here. In many ways it’s been my favourite place to work for years. Not because it’s
