comes from two simple realisations. NB explains.
AI For Your Todo List
Todoist has just anounced a new feature to their task management platform, Smart Schedule.
Smart Schedule uses predictive modeling to help you easily plan out your tasks for the day and week to come. It learns your personal productive habits, and takes into account patterns across all Todoist users, to predict the best possible due dates for your tasks.
That means those 50+ overdue tasks you have hanging around can be quickly rescheduled en masse, while new and unscheduled tasks can be easily assigned to the best due dates. In this way, Smart Schedule makes it much easier to stay on top of your to-do list and roll with the punches when your day doesn’t go as planned.

I stopped using Todoist a number of weeks ago due to the fact that I was just going through the motions of ticking off boxes. It got to the stage where I was micro-managing myself.
This is an interesting move in the market of task managers and no doubt there will be a few other task managers following down this road.
Great to see the city officials in San Francisco and Seattle responding positively to the need for more bike lines.
When two cyclists were tragically killed in hit-and-run accidents this past summer, a group of anonymous urban activists known as the San Francisco Transformation Agency erected a set of protected bike lanes using traffic cones. Usually such guerrilla interventions are temporary. They raise awareness but ultimately get taken down by municipal authorities. But when the same group recently (and illegally) installed a set of soft-hit posts alongside Golden Gate Park, the city reacted by moving to make the change official.

No super moon last night, just the Scottish equivalent. Super cloudy skies and rain.

How are my fellow Canadians taking the news of the election results? @curtismchale?
Great advice by Curtis McHale and at a great time too. 2017 is just around the corner.
Mike on Notebooks
Mike Vardy shares his thoughts on Medium on why he uses notebooks.
Ultimately, however, I use notebooks to connect with the things that are most important to me on a daily basis. I keep them handy because I don’t want to lose sight of what I really want to accomplish.

Can still hear #easystreet from last night’s #twd.
Time to Ditch Time Zones?
A fair argument about abolishing timezones and the whole planet using Coordinated Universal Time. I like this reason the most though for ditching timezones.
Perhaps you’re asking why the Greenwich meridian gets to define earth time. Why should only England keep the traditional hours? Yes, it’s unfair, but that ship has sailed. The French don’t like it either. “The U.K. would turn into a time theme park,” suggested an English Twitter user, John Powers, “where you could experience 9 o’clock as your grandparents knew it.”
