The Shortcuts Field Guide Giveaway - @ttscoff
As is always the case with David Sparks’ Field Guides, the iOS 13 edition of The Shortcuts Field Guide got a great response when I mentioned it here. And once...
- Atomic Habits
- Make Time
- Hyperfocus
- The ONE Thing
I would add a 6-week deadline... for all of it. 😉 https://twitter.com/garrickbailey/status/1182320314371510273

Shortcuts Adds Support for SSH Keys – @RosemaryOrchard
A recent update to Shortcuts has added support for SSH keys when using the Run Script over SSH action.
I think it's time for an update to Working With @OmniFocus. Goal is to show my personal system in-depth and explain how to build a simple, robust system. Any specifics you want to see covered?
Now that iOS 13 is firmly in the hands of one or two people, you need to check out the new Shortcuts app. And the best way to do that is alongside @MacSparky's Field Guide.
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...
Results? Why, I have gotten lots of results! I know several thousand things that won't work. - Thomas Edison
These are getting harder and harder to tell apart. At some point, we need to reverse the system. Instead of the bank verifying it's us, we need a way to verify it's our bank.
Oooof. Was just subjected to the most credible phishing attempt I've experienced to date. Here were the steps:
1) "Hi, this is your bank. There was an attempt to use your card in Miami, Florida. Was this you?"
Me: no.
Figures. About the time I think Facebook is doing something somewhat smart.
"US, UK and Australia urge Facebook to create backdoor access to encrypted messages"
Facebook says it opposes calls for backdoors that would ‘undermine the privacy and security of people everywhere’
I did something I never do. More tomorrow on the newsletter.
Apparently, I really like @Setapp.
At this point, you have most likely heard of SetApp. But not everyone believes the subscription is worth it. In my case, it’s an easy sell since there are tw...

Talk about a hard question to act on.
"What Would My Best Self Do?"
This question will often cut through the noise of your irresolution, so that the right choice immediately becomes clear. What would my best self do?

Why I Stopped Doing the Goodreads Reading Challenge at Midyear by @bookriot
The Goodreads reading challenge may be good for when you need motivation, but it didn’t work out for me. And so, I quit at midyear. Here’s why.
How do you use @OmniGraffle? Outside of org charts I'm struggling to see the use cases. And yet, I want an excuse to own it.
