Don't Forget To Schedule Life
I was on one of those consulting projects that seemed fine months earlier when it went on my calendar. My opinion changed as I dodged traffic and listened to carols on the radio.

A Little Inconvience Is Okay
When you notice something is affecting your drive, find a way to adjust your environment. Even if it’s a little inconvenient to others.

Or even yourself. Hand writing my to-do list each morning is inconvenient but it gives me time to sort out the “must do” from the “want to do”.
The Last Of Us Part 2 Trailer
Finally some real news about The Last of Us sequel. As you might know from reading this blog I’m a huge fan of the first part of this game. The gameplay, the story and the characters were all such a refreshing change. I’m playing through the first part of the game again and I’m almost done. Might have to give it another walk through before the release of part two when it comes.
The $500 E Ink Gamble
Another attempt to replace paper with a tablet. This time it’s the turn of a $500 E Ink tablet.
Pricey I’m sure you’ll agree and given that you can buy 100 notebooks for the same price, I’m sure many of you will agree that it’s probably the actual paper notebook that’s still going to win you over.
Netflix Adds Offline Mode
Parents with young kids on long haul flights rejoice!
In all seriousness though, it’s about time Netflix added this feature. It’s surprising how many places still lack a decent signal or even wifi.
It doesn’t get said enough. @dnsimple’s service and support are amazing.
Lately my email has been getting the better of me. Despite numerous attempt are curbing email, I still get quite a number of emails each day. Even if I skip my email for day, I know the following day will take twice as long to curb. The thing about email though is that it’s still one of the easiest way of communicating.
Might be time for something better than Apple’s Mail app which I’ve been using on my iPhone and MacBook Pro for years now. Might be time for Spark.
It's never too late...
… to set those goals.
You should have your goals and major projects decided before November begins, but starting today is better than some planned time in the future.
