This keeps general to-dos out of my notes.) I organise tasks by project, and tag them by person and by whether I’m expecting to hear from them or they’re expecting to hear from me.

It’s also well-designed, structured without enforcing too much structure, and simple without being too simple. (I don’t keep track of to-dos much, but when I need to I use an app called Things which I have on all my devices. And miscellaneous others, such as cooking, writing fiction, talks, and so on.Projects (organised by year then project).It’s well-designed, simple but not over-simple, and reliable. It keeps short text notes in an overall library, organised by folder. It’s on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad and keeps in sync with iCloud.

I do almost all my writing in an app called Ulysses. I look at that multiple times daily, then occasionally at particular favourite blogs to see if I’ve missed anything. NetNewsWire has a “smart feed” called Today which only shows articles that have been published today. Here’s my subscription list (you’ll find a bunch of blogs there you can also subscribe to). Now newsletters appear in Feedbin, and therefore I get to read them in NetNewsWire. So when I subscribe to a newsletter, I also set up an auto-forward rule from Gmail to my secret Feedbin email (and auto-archive the original email).

My inbox is full of distractions and I often miss things. But my email client is a terrible place to read long articles. I read a lot of email newsletters, and email newsletters don’t have RSS. I pay for Feedbin for one big reason: it gives me a secret email address that I can forward anything into. NetNewsWire uses Feedbin to sync my devices. Instead I first created an account with Feedbin for which I pay $5/month. It’s a bit like the way your email app will ask you who hosts your email. How does NetNewsWire keep my subscriptions in sync between my various devices? When you run the app for the first time, it asks you to set up an account with one of various providers. NetNewsWire is my favourite because it’s clean, easy, and fast.) (There are many newsreader apps out there. NetNewsWire grabs the feeds periodically, and presents the articles so that I can read them without ads or design. When I find a blog or website I want to follow, I look for an RSS feed (sometimes just called a “feed”) and subscribe.

It’s free and I have it on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad. I keep up with 345 websites and newsletters using an app called NetNewsWire. Because I’ve been asked a couple times recently:
