Once you’ve built up a habit of daily planning, you’ll start to see areas where your execution is off. The times where you miss an appointment, or drop a project for a week or a month or a quarter because you just forgot to write something down. We’ve all done it. We all will do […]
Factorio I recently picked up Factorio for a third go around. Unless you’re a weird combination of gamer and engineer, you probably haven’t heard of it, so here’s the brief rundown: Factorio is a game where you build a factory. The challenge is that, to do so, you need to use raw resources to create […]
New Weekly Email This is the very first Cue News. Obviously, I’ve sent out news about Cue in the past, but I’m going to make it a regular thing, along with the other emails about planning and habits. New Hosting In the beginning, Cue was a Blockstack project. While we may go back to supporting […]
What you do is who you are. Not immediately, but eventually. Your actions change and shape your identity. If you consistently go for a run, you become a runner. If you regularly attend church and follow what is taught there, you become a Baptist or Methodist. If you spend a lot of time playing video […]
Everyone has an identity. And it’s more than just a name. When someone asks who you are, you may start with your name. But if they keep asking, then you have to dig a little deeper. A father. A mother. A child. A Democrat. A Republican. A cross-fitter. A vegan. An American. A Brasilian. A […]
So I’m thinking about habit tracking lately. Trying to figure out why it works. The idea is simple: keep track of how many days in a row you’ve gone without missing your habit. Watch the number build up. And, magically, once it passes 10 or so, that number becomes a watchful judge. It sits there, […]
Cue has a new landing page. Check it out at https://cueplan.com. Is it done? Not even close. But it’s way better than the old one. Habit Tracking? One thing that is called out on the new page, but isn’t yet available in the app, is Habit Tracking. There are lots of habit tracking apps out […]
For today’s Cue tip, I present “pinning tasks”. Pinned tasks are tasks that are pinned to a list. A pinned task won’t be removed from a list if it’s dragged to another one. Instead, it will be copied. In Cue there are lists that are dated, which are your daily plans. And lists that are […]
Sometimes, you’re super productive. Work is cranking, life is good, you’re tackling your todo list, and you’re super annoying to everyone else. And sometimes you aren’t. You just can’t get in the groove, the end of the day comes with nothing accomplished, but hey, at least you know the storylines of all the latest Netflix […]
I started adding weekly ticklers to Cue this week, and immediately ran into some complicated design problems. And I’m not going to tell you what they are. Well, maybe a hint: weekly planning is very different from daily planning. And ticklers don’t make much sense without a planning session, even a short one. But I […]
