an analog mind in a digital world

👋 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! 🎉
