42: Deciding On A Medium
If you create content in any form and have dabbled in multiple mediums, you're left with a decision about which method of consumption is best for the topic you want to present.

Introducing Working With Ideas
There are times when you realize a project needs to take a hard turn. Your original intent is good, but it doesn't accomplish your goal as well as it might.
I didn't intend to write this when I sat down with a pen last week. But it happened and I thought I'd share. http://joebuhlig.com/an-open-letter-to-productivity/
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.

Man, time flies. It's only a month out. https://twitter.com/macstockexpo/status/743132049104478208
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.
Just updated my reading page with The War of Art. http://now.joebuhlig.com/reading
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.
