“As we know, the English historically struggle here in Massachusetts.”

Such a casually brilliant line. 😂

@bradenkeith So cool! Please post some of the things you make.

Check out this awesome tool from @mikeschmitz to plan your ideal week

[Mike Schmitz @MikeSchmitz]

Most people don't plan their week.

They triage it.

It's Sunday night. You open the calendar. You shuffle a few meetings. You push a project to Friday. You add a couple of urgent tasks from your inbox.

Twenty minutes later, you close the laptop and tell yourself you've planned the week.

You haven't.

The shape of your week was set the moment you started. By what was already on your calendar. By what landed in your inbox. By what your task manager queued up from last week.

You didn't decide what your week would look like. You just tried to cram as much as possible into the space that you had left.

This is why the things you say matter most keep getting crowded out. Nobody triages their way into deep work. Nobody "finds" time for a regular date night. The urgent defaults are loud — and the things that actually move the needle on your life tend to speak more softly.

It's a game of volume. The things that matter most lose every time.

Designing a week works differently:

→ You start with a blank grid.
→ You decide what shape the week should hold.
→ You protect that shape before any specific task or meeting gets in.

Once the shape is set, real life lives inside it. Not the other way around.

The weekly calendar template gives you structure and helps you protect time for what really matters.

I built a free tool to make this easier: https://t.co/h9kts0qIoy

Twenty minutes. No account required. Your week is saved in your browser, and you can export it several different ways (including a .ics file you can add to your calendar or Markdown if you want to save it in Obsidian).

[Paul Brown @paulbrown]

@mikeschmitz Mike, this tool looks amazing. It's crafted with excellence. Well done!
Then, I tried filling it out, and for a variety of reasons, I realize that my life doesn't currently afford crafting a consistent week. It's a useful exercise to try and make an ideal week, though.

@jcula1 What is your walkup song? My 11 year old son (also #2 and 2nd baseman) loves it and wants to know. We're enjoying @GTBaseball this year!

[Paul Brown @paulbrown]

@GTBaseball Last night seems to have been the license plate frame giveaway, but the Promo schedule shows last night should've been Teachers in Bleachers. Is there an updated Promo schedule somewhere?

[Paul Brown @paulbrown]

Apple's recent announcements were decent, but notably they forgot to update the iPad Mini

[Paul Brown @paulbrown]

@bradenkeith Whoa, hope everyone made it out okay. And it's sad when historic buildings go down like that.

[Paul Brown @paulbrown]

Yes please. Leave the clocks alone!

[Rahul Bali @rahulbali]

BREAKING UPDATE: Georgia State Senate passes a bill to switch Georgia to the Atlantic Time Zone. Georgia would observe year-round Daylight Saving Time and not change clocks twice a year. #gapol

House Bill 154 now goes to the State House.

@ericlbarnes Probably so! A basic 172 burns roughly 10 gallons per hour, so yeah... ~$60/hr. in fuel alone.
Totally worth it, though! Just like country club fees for someone else.

[Paul Brown @paulbrown]

@boggybot dude, I've been thinking this *exact* thing for a few weeks now!

Someone made an updated Silicon Valley intro and it’s so good 😂

@jeffrey_way My wife got me an Ember Mug a couple years ago, and it's one of the best things in my life. It sounds ridiculous, I know. Also, the app is not really necessary. Just use it, clean it, charge it, and use it again the next day. No fuss.

[Paul Brown @paulbrown]

We've made it all the way to macOS version 26, and you still cannot (natively) have separate Natural Scrolling settings for a mouse vs a trackpad.

@bradenkeith I've been using my old (translated: grandfathered non-subscription) version of https://t.co/wCOUYQHyDI and it is great. Check the feature set and/or run the trial to see if it gives you what you want.
