I didn’t realize that you’re in Toronto! I hope your talk went well and that you’re having a great time here!

Poll: if you’re a musician 🎵 (play an instrument 🎸🎷🥁🎹, sing 🎤, write 🎼, produce or anything related), professionally or as a hobby, please reply with what you do and a link, if you want to share. I’ll then collect and post a summary.

@robothive Hi Rob - it definitely makes it seem possible that I could support it, which is a big step forward from before. Still a lot of work and I'm not sure how big the audience is. Will add it to my list to consider!

@aaronpk The short answer is that priority is for projects and up-next is for administrivia. So, for example, when I do a weekly review, I’ll prioritize working on three projects for the coming week, and I’ll add a next tag to a few tasks on single action lists (e.g. “drop off the rent cheque”, “make haircut appointment”, “clean the barbecue”).

The long answer is that I should write a blog post. 😅

@aaronpk Yeah, what I’ve settled on for tasks in OmniFocus is three binary axes: priority/not-priority, due/not-due, up-next/backlog. So far so good. 👍

@aaronpk I like your custom filter, but I think I have to expand the due-date horizon slightly, since even when something is due today I often need a day or two to do the work to complete it.

@aaronpk @cygnoir I’d be very interested in how you differentiate p1 from p2 and p3! I’ve never had a solid rubric for that.

@aaronpk This addresses something I have been struggling with for quite a while! Do you refrain from adding priority to tasks that are due on a particular day, or do you still add priority?

Disappointed that Ghost created a custom posting API instead of adopting Micropub, which is a W3C recommendation. It’s okay to have Ghost-only APIs as long as you start with standards as a baseline. Now we have fragmented client apps.

Just gave a fun little talk at the #writethedocs PDX 2019 unconference: Storytelling with Git.

I’d love some suggestions of other events or contexts that might be a good place for this talk!

BTW #writethedocs PDX 2019 is fantastic!

Aaron, Can Granary.io also turn Twitter #topic streams into a feed? I seem to only see examples of personal twitter timeline—>feed. I never look at my timeline really, mostly have #topic columns alerts in my Tweetdeck columns e.g.
