👋 I'm Joe Buhlig. I strive to build productivity systems that stand the test of time and help me do more than check boxes. I'm here to help you do the same.
🎙 I read a lot of books and talk about it.
🐿 I can't focus on one thing for long, so I write a lot of code for an eclectic grouping of projects.
📓 And I'm a bit obsessed with finding non-proprietary solutions to digital problems. Thus, text files for the win! 🎉

When we were hiking up to Calloway Peak on Grandfather Mountain, it became foggy. It made for some really cool (and sometimes eery) views amongst the trees.
Anyone have experience with @MMDSoftware's Composer? I'm realizing it may be the exact missing piece in my writing flow. @nvALTApp for lists and rough outlining, but a true writing editor for markdown would help.

This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst; expect the best; and take what comes. - Hannah Arendt
It's true. My wife and I had a fight over our calendar.
