Shocked at England’s dominance in the football today. I know we were playing Iran, but given recent performances it was surprising. ⚽️

The little ones. The thoughts and comments which are low friction and created in a heartbeat as they occur.
This morning is very much a dark mode morning.
The sermon in church this morning was all about suffering. A timely subject given recent news about my Mum’s health. Sometimes even as someone who as been a believer for decades you need reminders of the basics. ✝️
I’m resorting to pen and paper to get a proper overview of all the “tasks” that I have assigned to me. Starting to question if digital task managers create work and black holes of stuff.
David Sparks on his journey To Day One and Back Again. I’ve been on a similar thought cycle recently. I have been a long time sporadic user of Day One, and I’ve journaled for a while in Obsidian as well as pen and paper. But recently I’ve decided it’s back to Day One.
Similarly to David it is about ease and access for me. I am a legacy Plus user which means I have sync across all my devices, I can save photos and other items as and when I feel it’s right to do so. Ultimately, I know that if I am going to journal regularly and it be of any use it needs to be easy for me to do so and Day One presents the least amount of friction.
Removed Twitter from my iPhone last night, not because of the Musk thing but because I can’t take all the culture wars. Talking to my counsellor last night I realised how much of a toll it was taking on my mental health. Not worth it at the moment.
My Arc experiment is over. It broke my long established flow for reading RSS and turned what is normally an enjoyable part of the day into an annoyance.
Matt Bircher: I Don’t Think People Really Want Another Twitter…
I think he’s right, people don’t, but I do think people want a simple way to share little bits of information easily. Whilst I think a lot of people are overreacting to Musk buying Twitter, I do hope it causes a renaissance of the personal blog.
Giving Arc a go as my default browser after reading about it again.
It baffles me that you still can’t make a reminder from an email message in Mail.app. Reminders is becoming very powerful yet still feels crippled by this.
