Stop Being Productive
There are a lot of productivity bloggers and podcasters out there. And we're all looking for ways to get better, faster, and create higher quality products. That's pretty obvious when you read our articles.
👋 I'm Joe Buhlig. I strive to build productivity systems that stand the test of time and help me do more than check boxes. I'm here to help you do the same.
🎙 I read a lot of books and talk about it.
🐿 I can't focus on one thing for long, so I write a lot of code for an eclectic grouping of projects.
📓 And I'm a bit obsessed with finding non-proprietary solutions to digital problems. Thus, text files for the win! 🎉

I’ve avoided ads in my creative work from the beginning. Here's why: http://joebuhlig.com/10/
I've avoided ads in my creative work from the beginning. But there's a lot of pressure to use them as a way to make an income. In this episode, I explain why I don't plan to change.
I still like my 90 days rule: Change one thing – big or small – at the time in your setup, then stick with it for the next 90 days.
So yeah, go read this @taylorswift13 profile by @CKlosterman http://www.gq.com/story/taylor-swift-gq-cover-story – She’s a hard worker and a creative genius.
First edit done! Taking Sunday and Monday off from the book. Be back on my editors edits on Tuesday. #WorkingWithOmnifocus
I'm on a roll today. 12 and 13 down. Only one chapter left. Working late to finish the first round of edits today. #WorkingWithOmniFocus
Chapters 10 and 11 edited. Only three left before going through my editors edits. #WorkingWithOmniFocus
It's not quite 8am and I've got chapter 10 edited. Good start to the day. #WorkingWithOmniFocus
Side note on my site rebuild: you can hit the "/" key to invoke the search function. Escape cancels.
Just opened up chapter 9 of 14 for editing. My editor is working on the first 8 already. #WorkingWithOmniFocus
@OmniFocus Loving the new layout options on Mac. Is there a way to hide these labels when they're blank? Thanks!

I rebuilt my site and released it yesterday. Check it out and read why here: http://joebuhlig.com/from-wordpress-google-to-jekyll-piwik/
This website has run on WordPress and Google Analytics from day one and they've both treated me pretty well. But I've started to see a need for more flexibility in the site, so it's time for a big change.
Just switched the A record IP address. Always makes me nervous. Hope it all works.

As of today, I'm halfway through the first round of edits on the book. Potential launch date would be Nov 4th. #WorkingWithOmniFocus
