š 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.
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 switched this blog to Jekyll, one of the features I lost was the ability to schedule posts for the future. Yes, Jekyll can handle future dates on posts, but you still need to run a command to build the site and then deploy it to your web server.

Waiting for Review: https://nnw.ranchero.com/2020/03/05/waiting-for-review.html
Long hours, an excessive workload, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honor for modern professionals. But the authors of today's book argue that it's actually a...
In the last month, I have expanded a little over 1,000 snippets in TextExpander. And given the complexity of those snippets, it has saved me over two hours worth of typing in that same period. And although that sounds impressive, I'm guessing the real number is closer to double that number. The snippets I'm using often save me from switching back and forth between applications or hunting down information.

When you first build your GTD system, it's easy to focus on the tools and setting up the correct lists. At that point, it's important to build the infrastructure and get your projects under control so overwhelm can vacate the premises. But it is common to let the system slide after a week or two or maybe a month.
