Nicholas Bate has Monday’s covered. Do you?

Jagged Thoughts for Jagged Times, 253 by Nicholas Bate
Long shadows up at the golf club today while I was picking up Ethan.
Another great lesson for Drew this morning. Won’t be long until he is beating his brother out on the course!
Twitter's house rules
I can understand the joy on Twitter when a certain account was removed by a member of staff who was leaving.
De-activating an account out of your own personal agenda isn’t playing by Twitter’s rules though, and it certainly wouldn’t be as funny if it was your own account that was deleted.

Hyper terminal emulator, good but not great
A week running Hyper as my terminal has been mostly without incident, but I’ll be switching back to Terminal.

The value of silence
There’s value to be had in silence you know.

Another great lesson for Ethan with our club professional, Andy. Just a few minor setup changes and Ethan’s already seeing improvements.
Curtis McHale offers some advice for those looking to get more from their mobile devices when it comes to deep work.
One of the final big ways to stop your phone from wasting your time is to not have it near you unless you need it. When I’m at home, I don’t need my phone because my family is downstairs. If there is something I need to deal with they’ll call up to me.
