Offload #2 - The Right Tool
This week has been productive for my intentions to optimize my time management. I wanted to use again the Pomodoro method… and I partially succeeded. It is hard avoiding distractions. Emails keep arriving, the phone rings when it shouldn’t,… and working from home (among a million perks) has some disadvantages: housework, for example!
Anyway, I managed to write the first short story with random prompts in a couple of days (of which I’m quite proud!). I hope to be able to keep this pace, and maybe write more than one per week.
I know that writing doesn’t require a specific tool, and pen and paper should be the best option… but I fell again in the pit of writing apps. Obsidian is always my first choice, but I tried again Paper and iA Writer. I want to avoid subscriptions (ptui!), but also can’t bear that many paid apps don’t allow a trial period (I’m looking at you, iWriter). For this article and the next story I’ll try iA Writer. But it’s so expensive.
In our new house, I finished painting the walls, and now we have to think about the railing on the staircase. Since we want it made of wood, it is a thing I personally could work on… But there are so many other things to do!
🎮 Still in love with It Takes Two
🎧 Some Mastodon, who I don’t appreciate enough
📖 The same two books I’m really liking!
