Family fourball today at Elderslie. A fun afternoon out on the course!


A great day at a family wedding in Ayrshire today. Nice to get dressed up for the day!


A good practice round for Ethan playing for Fereneze Golf Club at the Home Nations competition at Cheshire. Blue skies overhead, but muddy underfoot.


A Mother’s Day request from Jennifer, chilli for dinner with all her usual favourite sides. Some rice, chips, guacamole, and sour cream. I’m sure she’ll be happy with that.


Wield your library like a modern undergraduate wields ChatGPT.

Great advice from Kurt Harden.


The use of the word “very” is something I’m always aware of when I’m writing. I try not to use it, but finding a replacement can be challenging. If you find yourself in the same spot, try the Lose the Very website for alternatives.


Another cold afternoon walk to break up the day. It won’t be long until spring, and we will see the green leaves on the trees again. I can’t wait.


The weather is getting better each week, so we’re finding ourselves at the golf a bit more often. The boys had a good practice round today.


I just discovered a few different iOS apps by The Iconfactory. Of particular interest are Clicker and Tot. And no, Clicker has nothing to do with the infected.


In this era where job automation is increasing, Nicholas Bate reminds us to invest in ourselves.


Matt Gemmell reminds us that it is okay to write less.


I wouldn’t mind being able to group projects in Todoist. In much the same way as Things does. Yes, I could probably group tasks in this way using a filter. However, having projects grouped this way gives you a nice top-down view of everything.


Minilog 15 complete. Using a two-page spread for the weekends condenses how many pages I need for a month. This month’s almost fitted in a single notebook.


Surely a productivity-themed blog without an RSS feed is, by nature, unproductive?


Over the last few weeks, my Feedbin account has been filling up with more feeds from blogs and communities I’ve started following. While I miss the Twitter of old, the silver lining is knowing that there is lots of great content to follow outside the birdhouse.


Out on the course with Drew this afternoon. He played great today with a par on the 8th. A great afternoon.


It’s World Sketchnote Day! Mauro Toselli is already busy on Twitter with a few updates.


Cancelling my Fantastical family subscription this morning. The price increase for the family subscription from £62.99 to £99.99 is too big a jump for me.


Good to get the boys back in the studio this morning. A nice shot from Drew, sticking it to two feet from 75 yards out.

I can’t wait for the weather to pick up again so we can all get back on the course again.


Feedbin just announced some interesting new features to support Mastodon. I am still on the fence about Mastodon, but it’s excellent that Feedbin is supporting it.
