I've been using @EndelSound now for a few months, and still loving it as a productivity booster as well as a great aid for power nap. Give it a try.

the *optional* Sync service at $48/yr lets us improve Obsidian every day while maintaining:
· no ads
· no analytics
· no investors
· no feature limits
· no user account required
· full ownership of your data
· open file formats
· freedom to use your own sync
ALT As much as i love Obsidian, i hate that native sync costs 5 USD /month/user gruber Do you hate that it's a sustainable business?

If I was Head of Collections (a title I made up) at @craftdocsapp here's exactly how I would make Collections 10x better (Craft, please do this):
- Every document/note can have properties and can be stored any where
- Properties can be re-used. No need to make ANOTHER 'Ratings' property when you already have one.
- You can make in-line Collections and pull in a list of any notes that match certain filters. 'Show me all notes that have an 'Area' property of 'Work'.
- All documents in a Collection can be found in All Docs.
- Documents are not stored IN a Collection. A Collection is simply filtering all notes that match the criteria of your filters.
This is the most malleable solution that works for nearly any use case and the best method that scales easily over time.
I have absolutely no idea why @obsdmd is the only app to figure this out. Just allow me to store my documents in any folder, and allow me to create a list of any documents based off of the property of each document.
It's so basic and yet Obsidian is the only one (of the main apps) to get this right.
Finally, @craftdocsapp!
Collections still need a lot of work, but this is a step in the right direction. Before, Collections all exported as one massive ultra-note instead of individual notes.
Now you can export them all as individual notes (which is what they actually are).

Maggie has an amazing style in writing and presenting. Well worth following, for content as well as style.
New talk! About the divided human & agent worlds, boundary objects, and building thicker interfaces
I've been exploring how to improve "planning", aka. deciding what agents should build, how you want it built, & making the whole team part of that process

Keep a friction log. It doesn't need to be a formal one and you can just write a note on your phone or a text file. Now, every time something wastes your time or someone else's, write it down. After a few weeks, patterns show up. The things that recur are the things worth fixing. One-offs usually aren't.

There are a couple of universal patterns that show up across fields that you should apply to pretty much anything:
- Use a written process because memory isn't reliable (see aviation checklists, surgery, mise en place, SOPs...)
- Stop early when something is wrong (Andon cord, feature flags, turnaround time, error budgets...)
- Leave a buffer (Margin of safety, safety stock, taper, defense in depth...)
- Fix the system rather than blame people (Blameless post-mortems, poka-yoke, Swiss cheese model...)
- Get feedback fast (OODA, kaizen, canary releases, after-action reviews...)
- Hand over with a fixed format (SBAR, BLUF, commander's intent...)
- Ramp up gradually (10% rule, canary releases, position sizing....)

The beauty of reading "The Goal" or "High Output Management" every year is that you'll notice different things each time.
The books don't change. You do.
Like the first time you read "The Goal "you think it's about a factory. Then a few years later you realize it's about your calendar. Then later still you see it's about your own attention, and the bottleneck was you the whole time (it's always you).
The books are fixed points, and fixed points are how you measure movement.
What jumps out at you tells you where you are right now.
