@JoeBuhlig Pretty good overall. Fortunately for your time management, you can just watch the whole thing and skip the boring sections. Also, this recap is a good way to get a very high level overview: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/110929/

Most podcasters use the wrong marketing tactics for the size of their audience.

And then they wonder why they're not growing.

Here's how to use the right tactics for the growth phase you're in👇

Our property has forest, wetlands, marsh, and a beautiful creek. Our project for the summer is to clear a trail so we can easily experience them all. https://instagr.am/p/CeMGja2rh6Q/

Starting some forest management for the summer. Buckthorn has become a huge issue on our land. https://instagr.am/p/CeMGMj5LcGk/

Today is another reminder that time continues to move forward, whether I notice it or not—in other words, it’s my birthday! 🎉

Thanks for following and making this past year one of the more memorable of my life.

Can’t wait to see what adventures this next year will bring…

Hung out with someone yesterday who just so happened to bring up Shortcuts on their own… you should have seen my face

The Onion always gets it right

How it started: How it’s going:

@JoeBuhlig Cool! p.s. There’s an app called @PictureThisAI that does a marvellous job of identifying plants, animals, birds, etc. that you find in the woods (and elsewhere). Thanks to @MacSparky for the recommendation on @macpowerusers.

Me doing a basic update…

my dog had a growth that i was worried was cancer, and it turns out it wasn't cancer

today is a good day ♡

Simple solutions first.

Rules change. Principles don’t.

This week's edition of the @obsdmd Roundup is now live: https://www.obsidianroundup.org/2022-05-21/

Lots of use case explanations this week, the parrot management system is particularly fun.

The main highlight of the week was the @the_LYT_way conference, but it was still ongoing when I wrote this.

Step 1: put email I need to reply to in a special folder

Step 2: wait 2-20 months

Step 3: archive email, too embarrassed to say anything at this point

TL;DR - I use Obsidian for:

• Cross-referencing sermon sketchnotes
• Connecting book notes & mind maps
• All of my writing
• My digital journal
• A podcast archive
• Course notes
• Personal retreats
• Task management

And tying it all together is the Graph.

Hey @JoeBuhlig and @_MikeSchmitz;

PKM's just legitimizes the crazy walls. Prove me wrong.

I rotate 'em out!

I’m having a day where nothing is wrong, nothing’s on fire, no one seems mad at me, and nothing is terrifyingly behind schedule and I’m really confused 😂🤣

But BRAINS. THIS LAND EXISTS. I’VE SEEN IT.

The problem with rigidity is that it comes for free. It just happens. Flexibility always takes work.

A common misconception about creative people is they are full of confidence from the start.

I have not found this to be true.

I often start writing unsure of if it will be good.

But I am confident I will end up with a good piece of writing.

That's the value of experience.

Mental models are a fascinating concept to me.

If you're unfamiliar, mental models are lenses we use to look at the world and make better decisions (i.e. Occam's Razor - "the simplest solution is the best solution).

Here are 3 of my favorite mental models 👇🏼
