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. 🧘🏼♂️

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. 🏀
🔗 Link Post: “Clayton Christensen dies at 67 after lifetime of business, spiritual influence - Deseret News”
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.

We are enjoying the quintessential Australian summer caravan park holiday.

Panic writing for Playdate newsletter:
“We’re a smedium-sized crew — 25 people, 5 on Playdate.”
The Playdate gaming device is coming along nicely. Amazing what a small team has achieved, with this device and across other projects.
I like that Panic aren’t taking money in advance and that they are cash flowing the production. It’s real business.
Staycation hotel life. We spent most of the day in the pool but this was a moment of TV time.
Downlink is a great free app for putting satellite images on your Mac Desktop. Now I can look at my country from above.

My Mother-in-Law Mary in what I’m sure must be her first podcast appearance.
The processing of creating a zettelkasten is gelling with me. I’m finding it’s clarifying my thinking and helping to capture knowledge in a way that other methods haven’t. I’m primarily using The Archive, additionally indexed in DEVONthink.
It has been kind of so many people of micro.blog to reach out after reading about my dog, Jeff. It’s a great community to be a part of; thanks everybody!
We had to say goodbye to our dog, Jeff, today. As much as I know it was the right thing to do it’s still a sad time. He had a good 12-year run. I’ll never forget Jeffenhausensteinenberg.
