If you have been following me for a while you’ll know that I switched productivity apps constantly trying to figure out what would work 100% with how I work. What I have come to realise is that there’s no 100% (for you) app out there and that if you use one solution for more thanContinue reading “Don’t overthink your productivity apps”

I’ve stopped watching YouTube (and why you might want to as well)
Back in 2008 I was really into YouTube, in fact I had a guitar channel with a healthy follower count and connections with guitar companies for review gear. It felt like early blogging and gave me a creative outlet I enjoyed. But something changed about 5 years later, click bait and the rise of theContinue reading “I’ve stopped watching YouTube (and why you might want to as well)”
Sharing my TODOIST setup in the newsletter
I’m starting to play around with different ways to share and for the first issue of my blog newsletter I’ve shared my TODOIST setup, something that has stuck around for me – yes, I’m surprised too! Here’s the link to the newsletter – I really appreciate if you’d like to sign up.
Dealing with overdue tasks using Todoist
I’ve not done much since Friday and as a result this image is what I’m left with – 18 due tasks today. I’m aware that I’ve slacked off a bit this weekend and I’m also aware of the pressure building up knowing that I’ve got stuff to prepare for and not moved it forward. IncidentallyContinue reading “Dealing with overdue tasks using Todoist”

Organising my email
I’m not sure if it’s because my day job now is locked in job seeking so I’m at the Mac a lot more but I decided to clear down my email. I just normally let them come in and delete very rarely. I decided with so many job search emails coming in and appointments orContinue reading “Organising my email”
Should you put habits in your task manager?
Should you put habits in your task manager is a question I’ve been asking myself for a few weeks now. I’ve both used a task manager and habit tracker in the past and I’m leaning towards two separate apps. This is why. Overwhelm I set up my task manager based on a mind map IContinue reading “Should you put habits in your task manager?”
Job hunting with Apple Notes
Job hunting with Apple Notes is something that kicked off last year so that I could keep a record of everything I had applied for (believe me, you need to keep track of it all). I looked at other solutions maybe using a third party app or using Apple Numbers but I ended up settlingContinue reading “Job hunting with Apple Notes”
Splitting up calendar items and your task manager
I’d been of the mindset that seeing my calendar items within my task manager was a must have but now I’ve switched over to Todoist and this isn’t an option for my iCloud I’ve come to the conclusion it actually clutters things up. Having a division of these two actually helps with overload to me.Continue reading “Splitting up calendar items and your task manager”
Update on my Todoist setup
I posted last week about coming back to Todoist and I wanted to share with you how it’s been going this week. As you can see I’ve kept it pretty basic with A project per category I need to manage A sub project if this needs breaking down E.g. Video within the Create project TheContinue reading “Update on my Todoist setup”
