Updated my iPad to 18.3 last night, can’t tell if the WiFi being so crap is a result of that or the cafe I’m in. Seems ok on my iPhone though…
Having initially abandoned trying OmniFocus 4 I decided to give it a run over the last week. I forgot how nice sequential projects are for only showing the 1 task that needs to be done to make progress.
It happened, I downloaded Omnifocus 4 on my lunch break but there’s no way of easily getting emails into it from Outlook. I guess that’s the end of that experiment.
The CEO of Sonos has finally stepped down which took a lot longer than I expected. The damage is already done for me though, I won't buy another Sonos product again.
It’s so cold today I’m actually considering going to buy some thermals… it’s almost 11am and it’s still frozen outside.
Followed a few accounts from Bluesky in Micro.blog. Going to see how that goes and then I’ll probably delete my Bluesky account. Essentially I just want one place to go to see all things non-RSS.
Tasks, tasks, everywhere…
Barry Hess in a post about the state of his task manager makes the point that he is DDoS’ing himself with To-dos and Reminders. Essentially there is so much stuff in his task manager and he has lost trust in the way it works to ever see the right things at the right time.
I feel his pain. I have been bouncing around task managers for, at least, the last 6 months trying to find a way that works for me to see what I need to do at the right time. It feels that the biggest issue for me, is that as work dials up its corporate security it becomes harder to wrangle all the incoming jobs in one place. Tasks can be assigned to me in at least three different pieces of software, none of which are able to be integrated. On top of this I have the tasks coming in from chats and meetings, plus keeping track of and breaking down all the tasks into chunks that make them doable.
All of this leaves me with a constant feeling of overwhelm. There’s too much to do and no enough time to do it. There has to be a better way…
Three days into the new year and I’ve already finished a book. In what has become a bit of an annual tradition, my Dad bought me the newest Jeremy Clarkson, Diddly Squat: Home to Roost and I’ve finished this one in 2 days. If I’d have started earlier yesterday it likely would’ve been done in one sitting. 📚
Gah, was looking forward to watching season 3 of Tehran but it’s only released in Israel today and no date for Apple TV+ has been announced.
The first email Apple Intelligence deemed as a priority for me is a phishing email pretending to be from a delivery company who failed to deliver a package I haven’t ordered. Good start Apple.
