I am excited to be hosting Mark Ritson at an event next week. Anybody who is mentioned by @gruber is okay with me. I probably won’t raise John’s critique with him though.

iOS 13 is a dumpster fire. My iPhone crashes, hangs and generally craps out on an extremely regular basis. Not having the same issues with iPadOS, interestingly enough.
CARROT Weather’s forecast for today
It’s a nice temperature now the heat of the day has subsided. 🥵
February Photoblogging Challenge, Day Three: Reflect.
I previously had an account with meditation app Headspace. Is that still considered the best? I’m seeing some buzz around 10% Happier but it’s considerably more expensive. 🧘🏼♂️

February Photoblogging Challenge, Day One: Open.
I’ve just finished an 8-hour Lego building shift. My son better appreciate this in later years.
Our second boy is entering his Lego play phase. I’m thankful my wife colour-coded our massive stockpile of Lego to simplify reconstruction efforts.
I am constantly adjusting my app usage for work meetings and facilitation sessions. Today I went back to beautiful basics: iThoughts on 3/4 of the screen, OmniOutliner in 1/4. Capture where possible straight into iThoughts, but use OmniOutliner for parking lot/unrelated notes.
Great to have Miles Plumlee in a Perth Wildcats uniform. It’s a pipe dream, but it would be great to get him back for a full season next year. 🏀

Tad Walsh writing for Deseret News:
“A true disruptive innovation, he taught, first appealed only to a niche market and appeared less attractive than the powerful incumbent it eventually usurped. In fact, the incumbent typically looked down on it as inconsequential until it ate up huge swaths of its market share.”
This article rightly focuses on Christensen’s impactful theory of disruption.
In my work I often crib Christensen’s case study about the utility of a milkshake as part of the ‘jobs to be done’ theory.
Rest In Peace, Mr Christensen.
Little America is one of the funniest, heart-warming, enjoyable series I’ve seen in a long while. Brilliant stuff. 📺
My pre-order of NoteBooks 10 for iOS arrived this morning. This has led me to re-install Dropbox on my Macs so I can experiment effectively. WebDAV syncing sucked too much. DEVONthink remains more powerful, and I have so many other note-taking apps I don’t know why I’m bothering trialing another one. It’s an addiction. An affliction. It’s fun; and I’m not sure I’ll ever be satisfied. At least I’ve stuck with the same task manager for years and years.
