Worth Reading
1. Three Theories for Why You Have No Time – Derek Thompson
tl;dr, technology creates less work, but more opportunity to overwork—and we just can’t help ourselves.
2. The flaws a Nobel Prize-winning economist wants you to know about yourself – Eshe Nelson
tl;dr, complex mathematics will not replace human behaviors.
3. Fast – Patrick Collison
tl;dr, incredible things can be done quickly. The iPod is one of my favorite examples:
iPod. Tony Fadell was hired to create the iPod in late January 2001. Steve Jobs greenlit the project in March 2001. They hired a contract manufacturer in April 2001, announced the product in October 2001, and shipped the first production iPod to customers in November 2001, around 290 days after getting started.

Apps & Tools I’m Using
Journalistic – A simple, yet powerful micro journaling app
I have a precarious, on-again, off-again relationship with journaling—mostly due to my perception of the work required to be what the world would categorize a ‘good’ journaler. As a recovering perfectionist, I place too much emphasis on writing something interesting overwriting something.
Journalistic aims to demolish my perfectionist instincts by creating a lightweight, easy to use journaling app. For those interested in self-reflection without all the fuss, it’s a great place to start.
That’s it for now. See you next week.
