Tech Vitals
I am back on all stock Apple Apps at the moment.
Reminders
Calendar
Notes
Mail
These four have been the foundation of my productivity recently, where in the past I would have chosen a subscription service for every one.
All this is contrary to my pick for app of the month: Fantastical
Yes, a subscription calendar application is my February app of the month. I have videos planned for detailing the choice of fantastical and also a Fantastical vs Apple Calendar video that will be coming out in the upcoming weeks.
The newsletter heard it first though!

Full-time job AND YouTube - Episode 5
You can see the video below on YT or Spotify and for those who prefer audio only Apple has you covered as well!
I talk about having a full-time job AND doing YouTube with the intention to make money.
There are definite pros and cons to both but having patience and finding balance between the two can be a challenge.
I have my creative ups and downs but the stable paycheck of my full-time job helps me retain creative freedom and do what I want to do, when I want to do it, for YouTube and other creative ventures.
Running Stats
I accidentally joined Runna…
I had tried to do a free trial and turns out I’d done this before and the promotion didn’t apply to me.
Ding goes the Apple Pay and it was too late to change. Overall I have been enjoying it as I get back into running.
It seems to be one of the few apps that is flexible enough for my overall training. I don’t spend every day running, so tailoring the days that I do want to run in with strength and other activities is nice.
Overall, I’m still kind of disappointed with the plans ever increasing mileage, sometimes more is not better. It is easy enough to modify as an experienced athlete, but I worry that a beginner would follow the plan verbatim and not be successful.
Listening to your body is important!
