I’d like to see focus mode add blocking certain apps as well as their notifications.
Me getting into photography ten years ago: bird photography is boring.
Me now: Bird photography is amazing!
Walks may be the greatest life hack ever.
It’s amazing how going for a short walk block creative problems or cause a great idea to bubble up from your subconscious. And that’s not even mentioning their benefit for your heart and health as well as distressing.
And yet during the business of life it’s so easy to neglect.
I’ve got back into listening to Apple tech podcasts in preparation for starting my new job. I’m so excited that I get to work in an space that is a real intersection of my interests.
I was using some cheap notebooks for a while but I think I want a nice leuchttrum again. Do you use an alternative?
it’s my last day at my old firm and I’m doing it iPad only.
We traveled to my in-laws yesterday and then we’re going on holiday. I didn’t take my computer, just the iPad as what was the point for one day (I had also got by last year when I left my computer at home one day.
So now I’m about to present in a meeting with just my iPad! Wish me luck!

Although I feel far more positive on Chelsea post-Abramovic, I still want to see Liverpool achieve the quadruple (even though I think Man City will stop that).
I’ve been thinking about how the things we pursue in life. I’m wondering if the more we pursue them the more out of reach they are. Examples:
- happiness - often found by not seeking it.
- meaning - searching for meaning can lead to deeper existential grief.
- pleasure - we get diminishing returns from pleasurable actions.
There may well be exceptions to each and this list isn’t conclusive but I think there’s some truth to this. Certainly, the better we are at a skill, the harder it becomes to improve at that skill and the less noticeable improvements become.
I can’t tell you the implications of thoughts like this, but it’s what is on my mind.
The current elections in the UK completely snuck up on me.
I had no idea they were happening before today and that’s the first time of any elections.
Not sure how I feel about that.
Surprise!
I was on the sketchnote army podcast talking sketchnotes and obsidian with @rohdesign . (The video version has some screen sharing!)
Enjoy!
Friends who have a podcast. What do you use to edit them?
A brief reflection on hitting issue 50 of my newsletter
I just published issue 50 of my newsletter! (It’s actually a few extra which I didn’t import).
It’s gone through about four iterations during that time but the sketchnote roundup format really seams to have worked for me.
- I was sharing this content without the newsletter
- It’s simple enough that I can produce it every week
- I’ve had some really nice comments as well.
It’s certainly not perfect and I wish I had managed to get a few more subscribers it a bit more, but I enjoy making it so that’s enough for me.
I picked up a travel MacBook charger (with two other ports) so now I have a desk charger and an on the go charger. Not having to fiddle with cables every time I go to the office is great.
Walking is a seriously underrated* activity.
*by me. I forget this all the time.
