The Search for My New Email App of Choice: Notify

Before we get into this series, I want to reiterate that this is a search for my new email app of choice. The idea behind this exploration is so you can get a sense of not just what will work best for me, but what will work best for you. There have already been a […]

The Search for My New Email App of Choice

Ever since the news broke that Sparrow was no longer going to be developed, I began a search for my new mail application of choice in earnest. It pained me to leave Sparrow behind because I really enjoyed its minimal approach to email, so the new app of choice will have some big shoes to

How 30/30 Fits Into My Productivity Workflow

Lately I’ve been using the iOS app 30/30 by Binary Hammer a lot more. I like the ability it gives me to quickly move aroudn the tasks I’ve set out for the day and how it gives me a means of setting time alottments up for said tasks. Before I get into how I use

The Apps on My Launch Center Pro Wish List

Today, as Google unleashed Google Drive unto the world,1 I’m wrapping up my Goodbye Google series. To recap, here’s what I’ve covered over the past several weeks: I waded gently into the waters by taking some baby steps away from some of Google’s smaller services. I attempted to leave Gmail in the dust. I tried

Asana + Pop

I wrote about some adjustments I’ve made to my Asana workflow last week, and this week on Mikes on Mics we touched on the app that our guest Patrick Rhone had a hand in, Pop. And while I’ve known how I planned to use Asana from the onset, I wasn’t entirely sure how I’d fit

Goodbye Google: Subtracting Google+

The image you see above wasn’t what Google+ looked like at all the last time I used it. Google+ represents the company’s latest attempt to create a viable social network. And it looks as if they have succeeded – if only by sheer brute force. And (possibly) at the expense of what I’d call “pure”
