You’re not supposed to rinse your mouth after you brush your teeth →
I like when we learn this stuff we were all ignorant of. However, that’s the most insidious thing about ignorance — what other basic things are we all messing up right now without knowing it‽
Speaking of that word, I wish everybody used it with much less judgement. I’m happy when I realize I was ignorant of something (mostly). It means I just learned a new truth. So, no need to think I was stupid for not knowing it (mostly).
Notejoy is a perfectly minimalist note-taking app/web app that rapidly syncs across all your devices & entry points →
Yes, there are a bazillion note-taking & writing apps out there, and you’re probably already using several of them. As am I. But Notejoy is the one that I keep coming back to, and the one that gives me the most…joy. It’s free, simple, and minimalist, but also has all the features you’d want.
Perhaps my favorite thing about it, though, is how well it synchs across all of my browsers & devices. I can start a Notejoy note within Trello, then expand upon it in the Notejoy web app in the browser, and then finalize it on the Notejoy app on my phone, all seamlessly & instantaneously.
That takes a lot of work to build & maintain, so although it’s free, you can upgrade for more features, like offline use. Some software is worth paying for.
A great book about living a non-standard life →
Turns out I’m not the only one who has asked “isn’t there another way?” when thinking about work life. Paul Millerd not only thought it, he did something about it. He was recently a guest on one of my fave podcasts, How I Write, so you can hear more about how he thinks there.
I’ve had chapters where I’ve jumped off the default life, but I’ve always climbed back on to it. Perhaps this time is different?

Instantly create amazing original songs using AI →
Even if your eyes roll back whenever you’re triggered with another “Amazing AI” proclamation, you have to give this site a try. It’s truly astonishing how good the song are that it creates, both musically & lyrically.
All you do is give a simple prompt, and it spits out two songs in about :30 seconds. Ex: The prompt “Create a minor tempo EDM song about a web app called ‘Did You Do it Today?’” generates this catchy theme for my favorite app.
After trying it just once, I guarantee you’ll sit back and ponder what the definition of creativity actually is. And where is this going to take us?
