"The New Wilderness" via Idle Words
The need to regulate online privacy is a truth so universally acknowledged that even Facebook and Google have joined the chorus of voices crying for change.
For @bookwormfm Premium members, I'm starting to record 15-20 minute overviews of my gap books and posting them to the club. 👍
How did I not know most of these? 🤦
"5 Critical Knife Skills for the Outdoorsman" by @artofmanliness
Many knife skills are important, and many overlap each other. The skills in this list are the ones I believe to have the most direct effect in an emergency.
Local folks: I'd love to see you here. Be sure to say hi to the sound guy if you come! https://twitter.com/JustUs_Band/status/1149064868206657538
This is @joebuhlig’s latest gap book. Hopefully it will encourage him to be a bit more tolerable around others. But no promises.
It was this same interview that led me to pull out my old writing notebook. 🖋️📓
"Writing with Pen and Paper" by @cheribaker
It's fun to write fiction by hand. And there are unexpected benefits too.
I've been using @brave for a couple months now and really enjoying it. So far, I'd highly recommend it.
"Testing out Brave with 1Password X" by @1Password
Brave is enjoying some time in the spotlight. To see what all the fuss is about, I’ve been giving Brave a spin.
I'll be finishing up Make Time by @jakek and @jazer later today for our next @bookwormfm recording. If you want a ton of tactics for getting the right things done in a focused way, definitely pick this one up.

This is easily my favorite pen. The @twsbi Diamond 580. I've put a lot of ink through this gem. (fine nib with Noodlers black)
Interesting. @gtdguy released his hand-drawn images for what he thinks the best GTD software would be. Spoiler: it doesn't exist yet.
David Allen on the best software app for the Getting Things Done methodology, with downloadable screen drawings of his vision for the ultimate GTD app.
I love reading these and they're always inspiring. But I still can't bring myself to try it.

It's really important to understand the sync/async piece of this discussion. Otherwise, the tools don't matter.

A little over three years ago, @BobbleheadJoe and I decided to make @bookwormfm together. Now, we’re over 70 episodes/books and learning more than ever. Thanks for helping us keep this thing going! 📚
Sometimes people hear me share my concerns about how Google does things and then promptly ask how I do search. It's simple: @DuckDuckGo
I appreciate their interest in protecting privacy and wholeheartedly recommend them.
I'm not a voice-to-computer user in really any way. But @MacSparky is! And if you want his thoughts on the tools, you need to look at this.

Just started playing with this. Now I feel dumb for not trying it sooner. 🤦
"Why I switched to @1Password X"
1Password X is a full-featured version of 1Password that runs entirely within a browser. It runs on a Linux machine just as smoothly as it does a Mac or PC.
The latest @bookwormfm is out! Really enjoyed this one. https://twitter.com/bookwormfm/status/1147096891500503040
71: Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott – Bookworm
For many writers, few things are as intimidating as staring at a blank page - but it doesn't have to be this way. If you're looking for some solid writing...
Another chance to get inspiration and then fail to implement it.
"20+ Mac Productivity Hacks from CEOs, Artists, Developers, Youtubers and More" by @linuz90
From obscure keyboard shortcuts to crazy workflows.
The most common @discourse question I get is about how to self-host it.
Go to @digitalocean and set up a $5 droplet: https://buff.ly/2XiYCPo
Then follow the instructions on the @discourse repo: https://buff.ly/2RMOFnn
That's it.
In other words, don't buy these. But if you must, tolerate these ones.
