š 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.
š I read a lot of books and talk about it.
šæ I can't focus on one thing for long, so I write a lot of code for an eclectic grouping of projects.
š And I'm a bit obsessed with finding non-proprietary solutions to digital problems. Thus, text files for the win! š
When I re-committed to writing back in July of 2019 I started doing so in MultiMarkdown Composer. I learned about the tool from Brett Terpstra at MacStock and having learned that my brain works in many similar ways to Brettās, I figured it was worth a try.

I want to help you out. Itās the time of year when a lot of us take a step back and reflect on what weāre doing and how weāre doing it. We do our annual reviews, set some goals, or make a plan for the upcoming year. But itās also an excellent time to reflect on the tools we use to do all of the above.
I just discovered Send Later in MailMate. Definitely going to get some mileage out of this one.
