The Ivy Lee Method + Analog 4/19/2021

I have one of the non-bomber variants. Office Depot sells a version that's about $8 (Oxford something-or-other). Rite in the Rain has a more outdoorsy version. That's actually my index card EDC. I gu...

The Ivy Lee Method + Analog 4/19/2021

Index cards are nice. I always carry a pocket index card wallet for quick notes. Shirt pocket sized pads bug me because I hate to waste a sheet out of a limited resource. I can go through two or three...

OmniOutliner giveaway 3/27/2021

William Gallagher, knight errant raconteur of rare wit, has a 1000 subscriber celebration on his Youtube channel. There will be a contest of some sort, and two lucky participants will get copies of Om...

ThinkingTools, softwares which helps in ThinkingProcess 2/17/2021

The idea of a curated list of note and organizing tools is a pretty cool idea. I'm stuck in a rut, myself. Devonthink works pretty well. I like the way I can create links to notes that can be synced ...

MindNode adds outlining to mind maps 1/28/2021

William Gallagher has nice videos. I agree, he's loquacious - and that's a great word for it - but it's OK. He's worth listening to.

MindNode adds outlining to mind maps 1/20/2021

I got grandfathered to version 7. Today I found an update, but it doesn't include the full-window outline view. The subscription isn't much. Hmmm... I don't use MindNode that often, but it's helpful ...

Nice change in Devonthink 1/5/2021

I like the Unix-like foundation in MacOS. OneNote will let you set the horizontal size of text boxes, so that may help, should you revisit OneNote, My solution in DevonThink is to use rtf notes for ...

O the Irony... 1/5/2021

Proprietary file formats are not a good sales point, but there is a spectrum. Proprietary and cryptic is something to avoid. However, if a file format is obvious, just not documented, that's not so b...

Ha! I was doing it the hard way. Not the first time, unfortunately. SheetPlanner wrote: Amontillado, >Cool tip, thank you. >One correction though, there is no technical limit on the number of >link...

SheetPlanner 2.0 Release & Feature List 1/2/2021

Here's something fun to do. I've pretty much settled on Devonthink for fact and note organization. You can use DT's "copy item link" feature and paste to Sheetplanner using Edit->link to website to a...

SheetPlanner 2.0 Release & Feature List 12/29/2020

But what did you do in all your spare time? Just kidding - looks like a lot of really hard work, and congratulations!

Interview with CEO of omnigroup 12/21/2020

Based on the first few episodes I’ve watched, William Gallagher interviews the CEO of OmniOutliner here - https://youtu.be/0LQQa4eTo3o I have no ides why he has so few subscribers. If you like ...

MindNode adds outlining to mind maps 12/19/2020

MindNode has always had an outline view, but it was in a second pane, not full-window. This is a very useful development. MindNode is glitch free in my use, and it exports clean OPML.

The Benefit of Nested Tags 12/17/2020

Ok, answered my own question. My guess was correct. The DT manual says that adding a tag goes to the most recently defined instance of that tag name, if the name appears more than once in the tag inv...

The Benefit of Nested Tags 12/17/2020

I use tag hierarchies all the time in Devonthink, but I discover I have a question. If I use the same tag name in two different parent tags, how does DT choose which one to use? The answer isn't jum...

Nice change in Devonthink 12/14/2020

This actually happened months ago. I completely missed it. Devonthink tags are really groups. The difference is tagging something automatically replicates it to the group for the tag. Untagging somet...

SheetPlanner 2.0 Launch 12/11/2020

Nice, Peter!

About (especially "Outliner") subscriptions and the like (NOT OT here, but not at all indeed...) 12/2/2020

Ok, I'll say it. I'll put salt on the elephant's tail. Some seem content to ignore the bird in the room. The Brain's jump thoughts are sheer brilliance. I would use stronger terms if modesty permitte...

Coppice 11/30/2020

Martin, great to see you here. I know you have about a million hours of hard work in Coppice. I hope it sells like wild fire. The page-to-many-canvas paradigm is brilliant. Curio won't do transclude...

Coppice 11/28/2020

Coppice may have bugs, or Big Sur may be causing grief. I downloaded the free version and got it to hang on renaming a page. Personally, I think it's worth waiting to see how Big Sur shakes out befor...

Coppice 11/28/2020

Coppice does something nice, if I understand the paradigm. I haven't downloaded the free trial yet, for fear of buying it. Coppice has pages, which can be notes or attached files. Pages can optional...

Coppice 11/28/2020

Coppice looks nice. If I didn't already have Curio, I'd be quite tempted. Hmmm... $20 a year isn't that bad... Have you used it, Drewster? Drewster wrote: Has anybody tried the newly released Mac a...

Here's a trick I use. Since getting laid off, I've been posting fairly frequently on LinkedIn. Each post is an energetic teaser with a link to a blog post. I got zero attention from recruiters until...
