Back to back meetings, clearing through email and Slack messages, admin – it all feels like work it's not. It's just #busywork and it's the junk food of work. It fills your day, but lacks nutrition and will make you ill or drive you into #burnout. Very few of us have a role or career plan that is "doing lots of email and meetings." More on this soon and I will not be adding to the cult of productivity.https://youtube.com/shorts/CqV52PQKIkc?si=r0SOqG1mVPFndKJs

Robot vacuum cleaners are the leaf blowers of the home.

@nicole I don’t wield my robot vacuum cleaner. And I don’t own a leaf blower. Even the electric ones just sound like someone blowing up an air mattress for an hour.

This Thursday 14th December at 10am CET (GMT+1) I will be livestreaming Power of Ten with guest @reichenstein about keeping it real when writing with AI and how @ia have built Authorship into the latest version of iA Writer 7, why they released their Markdown Annotation spec to the world, dealing with copycats, and much more. If you're able to join us live, please do. We'll try and take one or two questions from the chat if we have time (calling all Markdown geeks):https://youtube.com/live/VSPm-AysHYs

I sometimes wonder if Product folks ever bother to read app reviews. I see over and over again reviews reporting slow downs and buginess or simply crashes or apps not working after updates. The “ship it, if it’s wrong we’ll fix it later” mentality has to stop.

Since it looks I’ll want to migrate from Substack, what are good options? My newsletter is free, but also between the inflection points of most pricing tiers so that it would cost more than I’d hoped. Self-hosted Ghost looks like an option, but I blog on Hugo/Netlify. I know Buttondown and Sendy are popular, but same pricing issue unless I find some patrons.

@nicole I do and did think of that. They recently switched to emails to the community being a paid extra. It would end up about the same as Buttondown though.

My style feels closer to this from Oliver Burkeman. I suspect it might make my PKM friends gasp, though: https://ckarchive.com/b/68ueh8hk25687hkq88gqmtzope0kk

@gruber I never met another right hander who retrained themselves to use the mouse left-handed due to RSI. Also from when I was at uni. I See You. Is it also awkward for you to use the mouse right handed these days, too?

So really what you’re saying is it costs $5/year. The $29.99 is just made up. By the way, you can read my blog for a special offer of $0 per year instead of the usual $10k annual subscription. Special offer, only available forever.

@nicole @jarango maybe. I couldn’t get into their mental model of how to use it before my trial ran out.

PSA if you’re joining Mastodon for the first time. Fill out your profile. Post an introduction using the #introduction hashtag. Consider adding a profile picture of some kind too. Doesn’t have to be a selfie. It will take you five minutes. Think of it as wiping your shoes before you enter the house where a party is happening. One of the surest signs of spam accounts are brand new ones with no profile and no posts. Many people block them as soon as they’re followed by them.
