   On first glance, I would think no. But in my experience even though I have 5x as many Google accounts as Microsoft ones (across several organizations and institutions) I spend almost no time confused on whether I'm logging into an acco

   The traffic in NYC is bad but I think there is more of a natural equilibrium that arises from the fact that if traffic gets bad enough, some portion of people will switch to the alternatives (public transport, biking, even walking), making

   Makes sense, thanks for elaborating. Agreed on the housemates level- living with roommates I am also good friends with seems to have been my best living arrangement so far.

   Thank you for writing this out, this is helpful! And agreed about an effective system being pretty unique to the individual.

   Yes, this! I don’t mean to make light of people’s conversations whatsoever but in my experience sometimes a good conversation is simply a back and forth friendly and unbiased exploration of a worry or struggle, future or past. The ideal out

   I’ve come across it before but never considered it that way- I too find the delta in what I’m doing vs want to be doing very important to keep in mind for achieving goals and maintaining focus, so it sounds like this might be a way to do it

   I’ve shared snippets but not entire entries, though I wouldn’t be surprised if I do at some point. The desire to share is there at times but I think it’d have to be a particularly interesting/insightful entry- which is usually much bet

    Out of curiosity what made it ok-ish? What were the biggest pain points? I've been tempted to try it myself.

    I can see what you mean - I love the feel of my favorite pen on paper. If it weren't for my typing speed + digitization I think I'd prefer writing as well. I've also considered perhaps typing allows too much freedom for re-ph

    1Password by Agilebits. Though the UI is a little clunky for long-form typing the cross-platform sync works well enough.

    This is really cool! I like the increased structure. Have you ever tried doing any retrospective analysis on it?

    For anyone unfamiliar with borrowing ebooks and audiobooks from U.S. libraries which use Libby (aka Overdrive) this is a wonderful blog post explaining how to get started. It's even easier than it looks and has saved me hundreds of dol

    When I was just beginning to use desktop applications everything had tooltips and nothing had guided demos. In my opinion it's a much more natural way of exploring features; you see what buttons do before committing an action, you get

    Strong dislike. I'm already paying $2.75 per ride - how much are the ads subsidizing my ride by? I couldn't find anything on it with a cursory search but my guess is not much - far less than the psychological cost of getting tooth
