Upgrade when you have to, or when there are significant gains to be had. The aim is to use what works, and use the crap out of it. The folks at AsianEfficiency have what they call the 3 Times Rule: “If something bothers you 3 times, find and implement a permanent solution for it.” But the point is that a new tool is not always the answer to a broken mindset and routine. Of course, this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule (sometimes a workflow is broken because the tool you’re using is so cumbersome you avoid it). If she forgets to reference her spreadsheet budget, how will a new type of budgeting tool change that mindset and routine? My reply was that getting a “better” tool will not fundamentally change her workflow habits. And so she wants to find something better. She said that she currently has a spreadsheet to manage her budget, but she is always forgetting to reference it. While I’m all for using the best tool for the job, finding the best tool should be secondary to actually using the tools you already have.Ī friend of mine recently asked me what bookkeeping software I use to run my business… This is the complete opposite mindset compared to the Pursuit of the Latest and Greatest. As such, all that’s left for me to do is make sure I have long hours of uninterrupted time, and then hope I can do something worthwhile during that time.
The only thing holding me back is my ability to focus and do interesting work. I’ve found a rhythm of work and a set of tools and apps which I can use without friction.Īs a result, I can’t remember the last time I felt held back by my workflows or tools. It dawned on me recently that I’ve really become set in my ways as it relates to the tools I use for getting the job done. (I’m not yet sold on Todoist, since it’s only been about two months, but so far I’m liking it.)
I’ve also made some significant changes to a few of the most important software tools I use on a regular basis.įor example: after almost a decade (!) of using OmniFocus, I’m now using Todoist as my task-management app. I didn’t want to take an hour out of my work day to upgrade, nor did I want to take an hour out of my evening or weekend. Honestly, I wasn’t motivated to upgrade because I was doing other stuff.

I didn’t update my iMac to the latest version of macOS until just a few weeks ago. Please don’t ask me to hand over my nerd card, but I have a confession…
