Looking back 16  years ago when social audio was a daily thing in my life with shared scrobbles and my deepening appreciation of music from the UK. That's Elbow from 2010 playing in the background.

I use a checklist inside my Obsidian Daily Note. It originates as a template. I explain the "First Light" section of my Daily Note in this audio blog. If I tick off all the items in this section, I often earn a productivity rating above 60 when analysed by a Claude project.

Obsidian is a free Open Source note-taker. I get a lot from journaling my daily notes. Know where your Obsidian vault sits so you can back it up. I pay for Obsidian sync since I use it on mobile as much as on my laptop. I have also used the Relay plugin to share part of my vault with collaborstors.

I found an Economist from 2007 tucked between the rafters and it reminded me of how my life is more productive when I connect items of interest that keep me focused. I explain what I mean in the clip. And I stumble upon a photo from 2006 that I might make into a follow-on audio blog.

People who have heard me teach hands-on skills with AI often characterise me as a person who believes in the steady integration of critical thinking with artificial intelligence.
