Changing my private journalling system back to iA Writer has made a huge difference to how much I write each day. I’m not sure why that is, but I’m very glad. 📔

Currently reading: The Influencing Machine by Brooke Gladstone 📚
This has been sat on my bookshelf for a long time… here’s hoping I can maintain my daily reading habit and whittle down that unread pile. 🤞🏼
Finished reading: A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen 📚
A heart-warming read, just what I needed if I’m honest. 😊
I now have a date and time for an online interview via video-link later this month. Another step closer to a formal diagnosis for my autism. 🤞🏼🧠
After much rumination, I’ve moved all my journal entries out of Diarly and will be using iA Writer for journalling instead. I’ve set up a workflow using Hazel on the Mac to archive and organise entries for me by year and month. 📔📝
One problem I’m having with Diarly is that not all journal entries are synched to all devices, and I’ve no idea why. :( They’re all on the Mac, but my other devices sometimes only see older entries if I update them.
I finally worked out why the homepage of this website wasn’t displaying content — it turned out the blog theme needed an update. Should be fixed now.
People don’t need a new email client’s help to become more productive at email, which always seems to be the main marketing point. Email productivity comes from you. —Chris Coyier, Why Do Email Apps Struggle…?! Not a surprise to me, I figured this out myself a few years ago. Turned out I mainly needed to unsubscribe from lots of emails I didn’t need, and reduce the frequency of those that weren’t from actual people.
While I love my iPhone SE and iPad Mini 4, one thing I don’t love is the time I spend on those devices, and in particular the time spent procrastinating. This past week I started cutting down the number of apps I have on both devices. For starters, no more mobile games. Even ones like Good Sudoku, Knotword and I Love Hue which don’t actively try to hold my attention.
Taking NetNewsWire, Micro.blog apps off my iPhone and iPad. While convenient, they’re also what I’m reaching for before bedtime and first thing in the morning. That’s time I could be spending doing exercise and journalling.
