Embracing The New TextExpander
When Smile introduced the new "Snippet As A Service" version of TextExpander, there was quite an outcry. To be completely honest, I was confused by and resistant to the change at the onset. However, if I look at the new version without allowing my previous experience to color my opinion, it is striking how similar it is to my other choices for software.
This one made me think about cutting back in uncomfortable ways. https://twitter.com/bookwormfm/status/758762950714728448

I'm looking forward to (and hoping my schedule allows) this @LearnOmniFocus webinar on travelling with @OmniFocus. https://learnomnifocus.com/live/?ref=11
These are some awesome insults.
"All hat, no cattle" is one I've used for years.
If someone we meet or are apprised of in the news conducts themselves in an objectionable way, what words do we have at our disposable to call them? Jerk? Knucklehead?
“...all the best, happiest, and most productive times in my life, were when I was completely cut-off.”

Love the graphic contrasting Brave New World and 1984. https://www.farnamstreetblog.com/2013/06/amusing-ourselves-to-death/ by @farnamstreet
I consider Essentialism a decision framework. It's a way of thinking. Highly recommend this book by @GregoryMcKeown. https://twitter.com/bookwormfm/status/758242843517329409
5: Essentialism by Greg McKeown – Bookworm
Joe gets too much email, Mike thinks he should hide his email address, and they both have an interest in saying “no” more often. Recommend A Book Drew Coffman’s article...
There are only four tweets with #mykewasnotright... now five. That'll tell you something. Nice record, @imyke. 🙌

+1 to the pump shotgun suggestion. The chambering sound makes everyone nervous. http://www.artofmanliness.com/2009/07/23/the-best-guns-for-home-defense/ by @artofmanliness
I'm pretty sure it's a mistake to follow @twsbi on @instagram. I keep getting closer to owning a 580.
Made me pause and consider skipping my list for the day. But I still made one. 🤓 https://medium.com/@farnamstreet/to-do-lists-are-not-the-answer-to-getting-things-done-f38ff04c53d4 by @farnamstreet
I've wanted to do this for a while but I'm finally using Instapaper over Pocket. http://joebuhlig.com/leaving-pocket-for-instapaper/
Leaving Pocket For Instapaper
I follow specific websites less and less. I'm more inclined to follow people and services on Twitter and Medium that act as sources of curated articles. This gives me the ability to find sites I normally would have glossed over and still read my favorite writers.
Started reading The More Of Less by @joshua_becker for @bookwormfm this morning. One chapter down and I can tell this will be bittersweet.
For those interested in the upcoming books on @bookwormfm: https://twitter.com/bookwormfm/status/756446645739331584
It's time for some major updates to Working With #OmniFocus. http://joebuhlig.com/updates-for-working-with-omnifocus/
