I wrote a new script for @OmniFocus that helps me read books. I'm finally reading regularly. http://joebuhlig.com/reading-books-on-a-schedule/
Reading Books On A Schedule
For years I have wanted to read more books. Prolific readers rave about the benefits and world-renowned leaders often attribute their ideas and successes to their habit of reading, but to me the benefits of having read a lot of books was secondary to the innate sense that a realm of knowledge and experience was available to me, but I was missing it.

41: Fountain Pens
I'm pushing pen addict status. I don't think I'm there yet, but I do have three fountain pens that I thoroughly enjoy using.
Another update for the Now site: added another book. http://now.joebuhlig.com/reading
The problem with fountain pens: you develop a habit of looking for more ways to use them. And each use requires a different pen.
Working With @OmniFocus recently broke 1,000 copies sold! To celebrate, I’m dropping the price to its lowest ever. https://tools.joebuhlig.com/working-with-omnifocus
Apps and tools won't give you more time and productivity. It's what you do with them.
I walked by the office supplies in our grocery store the other day and realized I can't buy run-of-the-mill pens and paper anymore. #spoiled

The Deception of Working on a System
It's a trap so easy to fall for: we find ourselves spending multiple hours fine-tuning, tweaking, and developing the simple structure that will automatically create more time and 3X our daily productivity.

Indexing your writing doesn't have to be complicated. http://joebuhlig.com/analog-writing-organization/ cc: @Leuchtturm1917
Analog Writing Organization
When I made the decision to embrace pen and paper, the need for structure quickly showed its face. I wanted my writing to live in a single notebook, but that meant I needed a method of tracking progress on pieces without thumbing through the whole notebook.

I use audiobooks once in a while but I typically avoid them. https://twitter.com/WhaddyaKnowJoe/status/740485227286396928
40: The Problem With Audiobooks
I sometimes listen to books via audio but there are a couple flaws with audiobooks that have me avoiding them when I can.
Scary thought: funnel all digital inputs into email. http://joebuhlig.com/the-overwhelm-inbox/
The Overwhelm Inbox
The purpose of my inbox consolidation project is to cut back on the number of places I go to make decisions about my "open loops". Between feeds, social media, and our always-on expectations, it becomes a habit and struggle to keep up with the mass of apps and information thrown at us. My theory was to create an aggregated inbox via email that combines these potentially overwhelming sources of inputs. The hope was to build a system that helps me scale back on the time and impulse to repeatedly process these inboxes.
