👋 I'm Joe. 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! 🎉
It's kind of fun to see how far I've come with the hPDA. Rather, how it hasn't changed much:
Ideas and reminders come to us when we’re not ready for them or when we can’t do anything about them. We remember to clean out the gutters when it’s raining....
David Sparks has done it again. He's just released a brand new Shortcuts Field Guide specifically geared towards iOS 13. I haven't had a chance to go through the whole thing, but I can tell you it's intense. There is a LOT of great video here. And since it's so great, I figured it was only fitting to create a Siri Shortcut that takes you to the Shortcuts Field Guide.

Tomorrow's Weekly Impulse is all about a paper reference system I set up at work. It's the first time I've done this since beginning my GTD journey seven years ago.
It's true. I've been using the hPDA for five years.
A little over five years ago I took a small stack of index cards and clipped them together with a small binder clip. The idea was simple and it was...

Here's the latest set of plans from the @OmniGroup. Always great to see what comes next.
Omni Roadmap Update: September, 2019 - The Omni Group
Creators of Mac, iPad, and iPhone productivity software. Proud to bring you OmniFocus, OmniOutliner, OmniGraffle, and OmniPlan.
A little over five years ago I took a small stack of index cards and clipped them together with a small binder clip. The idea was simple and it was one I took from Merlin Mann. It seemed like a helpful tool at the time and it was one that filled the need for ubiquitous capture. Five years later I'm still using the hPDA, but the ways I have used it are different from my original intent.
It is easier to act yourself into a better way of feeling then to feel yourself into a better way of action. - O.H. Mowrer
Three years later and I still reference these five books on a regular basis.
In the past I’ve wanted to be a reader and yet never picked up a book. But that changed when I said yes to Bookworm. Since then I’ve read 16...

"2. How do you actually spend your time?"
It’s 6:34 am. The sound of your smartphone alarm startles you awake. (Actually, it’s the sound of the fifth alarm you’ve set because you’ve gotten so used to snoozing them...
Just say yes to the @OmniFocus. 😉

Okay so Joe has me tempted to look at OmniFocus again, despite my love of notebooks and a modified Bullet Journal system.
Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together. - Georg C. Lichtenburg
