I never understand why task management apps truncate the task title instead of wrapping the text.

First day back after a week off work. Finally made it to the bottom of the pile of emails and Teams messages.
Watched the Apple event. Considering replacing my XS with a 13, but not sure if I need it just yet. Can’t tell if the midnight is really dark blue or black, it’s a confusing name but at least it’s not another space grey.
Having a week away with my parents. Went for a wander around Leominster today.
I really like the idea behind the Logi Dock. I’m looking at a dock of some kind for my laptop given I’ll be going to the office more in the coming months and it’s a pain unplugging all the cables each time.
I’ve been looking at Hook again this week. I really love the concept of it and I see that it has more app integrations now. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work with the beta Todoist app which has me looking at other task apps again.
Very gloomy weather this morning. It’s a dark mode and headphones kind of day.
Put the iOS 15 beta on my iPhone over the weekend. I actually really like new Safari, although taking a bit of getting used to tapping at the bottom of the screen to start a search.
Blocked off my day into three distinct chunks today. It worked really well. Made progress on three projects so I’ll be repeating the same structure tomorrow.
Not quite sure why, but I’ve made the docks on both my Macs and my iPad match their layout this morning. Muscle memory I guess. Or procrastination…
I wrote a post. First one in a while. It’s about elephants.
Apparently the RSS feed for my Jekyll powered blog isn’t working. That’s a project to fix for the weekend.
Culturedcode added markdown support to the notes field in Things. Since version 3 Things has always felt more like an living document, probably even more so now.
I’ve found myself working in 2.5 hour bursts today. It’s been much more productive than two larger blocks of focused work. Might try and implement it tomorrow.
New coffee delivery! Looking forward to trying these fun bags ☕️
It’s a big day at work today as school pupils receive their results and get their places at university confirmed. Despite not being on the front line as part of the customer service team, it always feels like the whole business is in it together.
New tyres on my car fitted at the start of the week. Came out to this last night. Inspected it this morning and found a shard of metal in there. Not a great start to Friday.
Apple redesigned their online store. Some major scrolling issues with my Logitech mouse. They seem to be making some big UX mistakes in the Apple design team lately.
I don’t understand the concept of snoozing email… what’s the benefit?
Working in the office today. Had to come in for a breakfast workshop and decided to book a desk to stay a bit longer with my colleagues. Ended up with a sit/stand desk, so using it as an opportunity to test it out. Quite enjoying it so far.
I’ve been trying to use Reminders to manage my tasks lately, but finally got to the point where it’s not working. Back to using Things I think.
Watched the first episode of the new Ted Lasso. Love that Nottingham Forest are in it! You reds! ⚽️
Had a minor panic this morning that my fan was broken. The blades were barely spinning, but a few well placed whacks to the guard seem to have spun it into action. Might be time to find a better one though.
Going to try a little experiment today and keep MarsEdit open while I work in an attempt to be more active on my micro blog.
I’ve been using Apple Podcasts for the last few months, but it’s slow sync is causing me to look elsewhere again. I’ve setup Overcast again, but something about it feels dated these days. Considering PocketCasts since it’s the only one that has apps on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
