Thacknology

There's a movement to capture everything we know in a way we can find it. Building a second brain. Knowledge management. I use Obsidian. It's free. It works. And it connects to cloud storage. obsidian.md - go get it!

Nice little meander and natter for today. Brief bit of bants about Seth and Matt but otherwise it's the rudimentary straight-talking stuff. Look after each other!

It's taken 8 weeks to fully form an adult Thack. But the results are already starting to bear fruit across my lives. A happier, more confident me. And if you follow some of the advice in this show - you, too, can live a Florida lifestyle!

It's Prime Day (of two) and I'm becoming increasingly concerned by the frothily fascist bent of GBNews. Far right AND far out. I'm in a proper pre-Tuesday tizz.

Refuse to change and you refuse to succeed. Just ask Yahoo!

What do you do with a utility that's essential to our safety and security - the very lowest tier in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? Why, you monetize it! Today I'm on a rant about the housing market and why pandemic-spawned landlords and flippers are the scourge of society. Profiting from others' misfortune, puffing up their savings already inflated by furlough payments. It's #AudioMo Day 19!

My old boss said I was unmanageable and a maverick and I never thanked her. It was a lesson in appreciation that doing the different takes courage, spirit, strength and single-mindedness. Different isn't what anyone wants. But it's what everyone needs.

My headphones keep falling out.

Carbonic anhydrase and P. polycephalum are 2021's graphene. Why? That's why you're here. Let's do this, #AudioMo!

Contemplative prose for you today. Writer of wrongs. Where next?

We are surrounded by the most magical mouths and minds and thankfully those Supersonic souls are arranged neatly within the hallowed halls of #AudioMo. Their job of the day is simple - to impart their list enjoyable reads of 2021.

Premature ejection of the #AudioMo for 14 June. Celebrating the community, commemorating our collective loveliness, commiserations what could have been...

Bloody ideas. They're like grains of sand. They get everywhere and when you least want them. But you can't get Beach Powder for ideas. You must just write them down. And so today began. Today's ideas were powering a project for an energy company. Which got me thinking - what do YOU do?

Musing on writing and how we got here. #AudioMo - day 12.

Rebooting my content and communications company. No designer. So I trawl the templates. And they dismay me. Restrictions rampant. Foraging for freedom. It's #Nudgestock2021 and #AudioMo. Let's go!

Bread to behavioural science - this week's seen it all. Fall in love with Japanese bread, join me for a one-day BS conference - or a walk on the beach. Welcome to #AudioMo - day 10.

There are tons of opportunities for you to achieve peak joyfulness. Some of them will soon be in your ears to savour. It's day 9 of #AudioMo. Have a blessed one!

Hot from a ropey day Tuesday has gone bounce back ballistic! I have some sassy tips for you on this ep - so stay tuned and attempt to avoid delirium.

Think of your mind as the house. Ears as the doors and windows. I'm going to come and Nick Knowles your rooms. Buff up their entrances. Let's make a beautiful home together here at Thacknology - our beautiful retreat where you'll always find me, Dave Thackeray. Every day I'm trawling the web and world for ideas and inspiration to make your life a little more lavish. More often than not it's just a...

I'm obsessed with a heartful missile. Newsletters straight from the soul. Exposed, vulnerable. To know you. And that's today's #AudioMo.

Big love to all making it here unblemished, unfettered, unaware. Photo from the first-ever Southport Makers Market. Today.

Day 5 of #AudioMo. Cleanly cutting a melon this morning I cherished mastery of the trivial. Those first principles yield the greatest happiness. Few of us want to nail the basics. I always wanted to be a great guitarist but wanted to fast-forward beyond the beginner's toil. Not how life works. Begin basic. Reap the rewards.

Today's bee in Thack's bonnet is remote working. Why are organisations still grappling with this concept? We're more than a year in and bosses are desperate to restore control of their colleagues. Why? Five reasons. All in this show.

I had a job interview today. It was fun. With fun people. Talking about helping people. It made me think what I have become. How I became unmanageable and a maverick. And the value of sharing what makes me, with you. I've come to realise that being a maverick isn't career-limiting. It's a superpower. Mavericks change the world. We all need to be more maverick. Especially as content creators. Want...

It can even be difficult building a habit around something you love. But it's easy when someone is rooting for you. I will help. Introducing your new accountability buddy - @DaveThackeray on Twitter
