A Year Without Extra Screens
For the last year I've been running my business from a MacBook Pro and an iPhone. No iPad. No Watch. And no external monitors.

Information Overwhelm Without The Internet
I hear people refer to information overwhelm more often than I would expect. The context varies but the idea is the same: finding information on the internet is so easy that the person has a hard time deciphering what is right and what to question. Some even take it as far as to suggest Google is making us dumb.
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate #NationalBookLoversDay than to leave some love for @bookwormfm ❤️

I've been thinking about the major differences in working with my hands versus working with my mind. http://joebuhlig.com/woodworking-versus-websites/
Woodworking Versus Websites
One of the most difficult aspects of building websites or doing knowledge work full-time is the lack of motivation and pride that typically comes from physically seeing the work of your hands. Yes, it is possible to achieve this sense of accomplishment when working purely with information and computers, but it's far from natural.
I've wanted to move my @OmniFocus scripts to iOS for a while now. Here are the ones that are possible. http://joebuhlig.com/moving-omnifocus-scripts-to-ios/
Moving OmniFocus Scripts To iOS
I have been hesitant to adopt the new automation methods in OmniFocus for iOS. The abilities of the new URL Scheme are exciting but there's still quite a bit missing from the structure as it stands.
Really looking forward to the rest of this series. It's desperately needed today. http://www.artofmanliness.com/2016/08/01/christianitys-manhood-problem-an-introduction/ by @artofmanliness
Pretty cool use of Automator here by @cyberbobcity. http://productivitytomorrow.com/2016/07/30/using-automator-to-handle-receipts/
I hadn't considered how much stress "stuff" can cause until I read this. Highly recommend it. https://twitter.com/bookwormfm/status/760780223407194121
6: The More Of Less by Joshua Becker – Bookworm
This week Mike and Joe talk about cutting back and simplifying life with Joshua Becker’s book The More Of Less. Recommend A Book Mechanical Keyboards Das Keyboard Mike’s Keyboard: Dvorak...
@JoeBuhlig @bookwormfm Great Points! I am finding the Apple Watch with OS 3 and Omnifocus really productive.
Reading so much for @bookwormfm made me stop and think through my level of technology adoption. http://joebuhlig.com/too-much-tech/
Too Much Tech?
One of the common threads in the books we've read for Bookworm is the impact of computers on our effectiveness, self-control, and overall happiness in life. Their prevalence and ubiquity in our world coupled with the newness and speed of their adoption has a lot of us wondering and speculating about the positives and negatives of this shift. So I would expect any book written in the last decade to incorporate thoughts on the topic.
Great to see the #OmniFocus resources still going strong! https://twitter.com/MacSparky/status/759064964350959616

New post up this morning: Embracing The New TextExpander http://joebuhlig.com/embracing-the-new-textexpander/
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
