Very nice.

An Alternative To The Pomodoro Technique
”With this method, it is possible to achieve as many as 2 to 3 tasks in a single day, so long as you live alone and nobody else tries to contact you.

The iPad - It’s All Relative.
I just got my iPad out with its Magic Keyboard and started to work. I was reminded how I like the focus of just a single app, no multiple windows, just lock-in on what you are doing - no distractions - lovely and really makes sense - but - BUT … that screen sure does feel tiny.
And then I pulled the keyboard off and just starred at that giant piece of glass.
My goodness - the screen is enormous!!!
