  • Favourite Podcast

    I’m slowly working through the back catalogue as I’ve been listening for about a year. Every episode is so interesting and insightful! I love that Chris and Arden co-host; it gives it more depth than the usual “2 guys talk productivity” format. I also love how thoughtful and reflective they both are, and how they come at productivity from slightly different places. Highly recommended!

    Loving the show, just found it. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 14, then to an iPhone 13 mini. Best decision. Single home page with only the basics. I too have an iPad Pro and mini. Each device has a specific use case. The mini for reading and sometimes YouTube. The iPad Pro is my only personal “computer”. And the phone is for texting and calling, sometimes maps, and podcasts with CarPlay. No social media, no email, almost no notifications. I’ve thought about a “dumb” phone a few times, but try... more
