Reader Question 2: Notes on Paper, Notes in Apps, Here, There, and Everywhere, Should I Just Give Up and Accept the Chaos? analogoffice.net

Another great post from Anna Havron. I really like this quote:

When it comes to notes you write, the value is in shaping your raw notes into cognitive products, intellectual deliverables, that you and other people can act on.

It’s ok to not finish a book, right? I mean I’ve been trying to read a book because the title sounded interesting but I’m having a hard time getting into it. Its on my Kindle so I can easily come back to it later, right? Obviously I know the answer is yes but this is a constant internal struggle.

If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.

Day 1 with my new minimalist bullet journal and so far, I’m a fan. Since I spilled coffee on my last notebook and ruined it, I decided to try a rite in the rain notebook.

Width wise, its about the same as Field Notes. Height wise, its shorter and it has almost 3 times the amount of pages in it.

Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them.

Currently Reading: Nothing to Lose: A Jack Reacher Novel by Lee Child 📚

There are certain books that I like listening to and Jack Reacher books by Lee Child fit in that category. Especially books that are read by Dick Hill. He does a great job with these books.

Finished Reading: Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy (Book III: Lesser Evil)

Finished reading: Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy (Book III: Lesser Evil) (Star Wars: The Ascendancy Trilogy 3) by Timothy Zahn 📚 Finished the final Thrawn trilogy and I was a little sad to be honest. Thrawn is by far my favorite Star Wars character that’s not in the original movies. Not sure if there will be more books but I’m all on board if there are.

Lets listen to some music

I’ve talked about this app before, but lets do it again. I’m talking about the app Albums. I opened this app today before my workout. I searched for Flogging Molly and hit play. I, like many people, have playlists on my phone. I have all sorts of different lists to choose from. I have one for working out. Another one that’s full of Broadway music. A different playlist has movie soundtracks.

Drafts with another win

Drafts just keeps getting better and better. Which is something I never thought I’d say. The new mail drop feature is great. Basically you get a unique email address for Drafts. That means you can save it as a contact if you want. Then you can forward emails or create new emails and send it to this email address, which dumps into drafts for you. You can have the draft automatically enter with tags if you want.

After a conversation earlier about audiobooks, I decided to do a brief count. I currently have:

  • 108 un-listened to audiobooks in Audible
  • 306 unread books in iBooks
  • 118 unread books on my Kindle

This doesn’t include the numerous of physical books I have as well.

You’ve got to put in a lot of practice if you want to be good in something. You’ve got to do it the right way.
