✨ This is the exact scenario that I have found myself in with my current role using MacBooks for work devices. I have found a super simple solution to this pain that many face and so I thought I would share this with my network in the hopes that I can explain why it happens and how to solve it! 🎉

Thoughts after a few days of #TimeBlocking
- I can only do about 4 hours of #Focus split across two hour blocks
- The rest of my day is *filled*, which is why I cannot do more
- I get very, *very*, distracted. Very Soon. Progress on stuff is slow, and it’s is not helped with my mind flitting off to do different things or think different things
- I have poor impulse control. I’ve already opened up that social media page and clicking away happily before I catch myself. This is getting better
- The @neilhimself method helps. and is maddeningly, frustratingly easy, yet hard to do. Either do the task. or sit and do nothing. No other option. I come away sweating.
- I have taken on so many things to do, when I have a life that is quite uncertain. I need to make space and have margin. And until my life changes, this is how it has to be. Fewer commitments. Stronger commitments.
Here’s to slow, steady progress

How the Creative Process Teaches Us About Our Mind.🧘♀️🎼🎭🩰🎨🥋Taken from a Dharma Talk given by Zen Master Sebastian Rizzon on 6/15/2023. https://youtu.be/igLBR5WcYjM @buddhism @dharma @dhamma #zen #zenmaster #dharma #buddhist #Buddha #meditation #meditate #buddhism #mind #heart #spirituality #creativity #creation #karma #art #writing #dance #music #martialarts #sword #mindsword #spiritualjourney #compassion #koan #zenstories #selfhelp #knowledge #wisdom #mentalhealth #philosophy #love #life #focus
Announcements like this one are never easy, not for me and also not for others. In order to get stuff finished and done, I have to streamline my efforts when it comes to my side projects, though.
A list of my current side projects
I have quite a few projects running at the moment. Some are already released, others are not even close to release. Here is a list of the stuff I am working on:
- #CASBAN6 – A serverless blog engine in .NET (6)
- FishingKnots +
- A reader app for this site (MSicc’s Blog)
- A runner’s tools application (details to be announced)
- A Fediverse (desktop first) application (details to be announced)
- Learning the Swift programming language
- msiccdev.net – ASP.NET CORE website for my apps
I will have a look at each of the projects and their future below.
#CASBAN6
The serverless blog engine series was thought to be a learning series for me and also my followers. The raw blogging engine (database and API) are finished and working (See the #CASBAN6 posts on this blog). The next step would be to create a website for both administering and also consuming the blog.
We have learned already a lot, but at this time, I will freeze the project. I do not know when and if it will be continued as of today. I will also shut down the current used Azure resources to save some money.
FishingKnots +
My FishingKnots + application is the reason I became a software developer. It started all back in the days of Windows Phone 7 (2011), and I want to keep this app alive on at least one platform. As I am now at home in the Apple ecosystem, the platform choice is easy to guess.
Android is a mixed bag, and I need to update all of my apps to meet the new Play Store rules (API level and so on). As I have no incentive besides seeing my apps in the Play Store, I will remove this app from the Play Store and stop its further development.
Blog reader app
The blog reader app for my personal blog was intended to serve as a demo project for my WordPressReader library. The app itself has very low download numbers on all platforms. Most user’s read my posts on the web or in their feed reader application. I will pull the app from both the App Store and the Play Store. I invested a little in making my blog better on the web (which you may have noticed already). Additionally, I will also shut down the Azure NotificationHub that is empowering the push notifications in that app.
Runner’s tools app
As I finally became a non-smoker about 2 and a half years ago, I immediately restarted with sport activities. I ended up to fall in love with running as my principal sport. I have written a small but helpful app which has some nice features I need. Originally, I started with .NET. Due to the fact the app isn’t overly complex, I will port it to the Swift language and release it to the App Store then. This will be one of the projects I am focusing on from now on.
Fediverse desktop app
I am currently working on a .NET MAUI desktop app that incorporates traditional social media and the Fediverse. If you remember my past with UniShare on the Windows platforms, you may have a direction what that app is for. The app will be in the Mac App Store and the Microsoft Store on Windows. If it will ever come to mobile, it will be iOS/iPadOS only. More details will be announced soon.
Learning Swift
During my summer holidays this year, I started to learn the Swift programming language. As I wrote already above, I will soon work on my first app that is written completely in Apple’s native programming language.
msiccdev.net
There will be one remaining web project that I actively work on. The website for msiccdev.net where I showcase my apps will be my ASP.NET (Core) project to keep up to date in that area. The current status of the website is work in progress.
The future of Android
As I wrote already above, I have little to no incentive of having my app in the Google Play Store. As the time for my side projects is limited, and I do not use Android in the foreseeable future, I will pull all of my apps out of the store and stop their development. I am considering to port SimpleLeet over to iOS and the Mac as another Swift project once I am done with the other two projects.
Blogging focus
I will keep blogging about my experiences, no matter which platform they occur on. You will continue to see blogs about tools, .NET, .NET MAUI (and Xamarin), but also Web/Cloud stuff and additionally, I will be blogging on my experiences with Swift. It will still be interesting and helpful to follow my posts!
Until the next post, happy coding, everyone!

A quotation from Chesterton, Gilbert Keith:
«
But among the Very Rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.

Interessante aflevering van Focus gisteravond over de stand van zaken rondom kernenergie en hoe snel dat eventueel inzetbaar is als energiebron. Het kwam op mij erg evenwichtig over.

One of my favourites prtins here is this one. It'S about focussing on things, like relationship, hobbies, travel etc. If you try to do all at once then it get's messy. Once you focus on each one at a time, you'll find a way better chance to get results. In the pictures coming out of the camera you can see the things mentioned before. And the little grin of the man shows it actually works. https://shop.itchi5.com

I absolutely love Sunsama and how it takes care of your valuable time. There are no priority labels other than time.
From time blocking apps I have used first Sunsama, then Akiflow, then TickTick. All of them have pros and cons, but now that I have returned to Sunsama after one year I've seen it's improved since I last tried it.
I forgot how good it feels to actually FOCUS and see your productivity increase over time.

Some of you have already tried out the new App Shortcuts and colors in Focus during the beta phase - thank you so much for testing!
Here's what's new this back-to-work season:
My 2001 #Ford #Focus ZX3 #hatchback is ready to be put out to pasture. It has 255,000 miles and is still on the original clutch. It needs a serpentine belt (as of yesterday), shocks, struts, tires, brakes, rotors, wheel bearings, strut mounts, a clutch, the engine resealed, and who knows what else.
How can I get rid of it by the end of the month when registration and smog are due? Donate to #PublicRadio ? Sell to a junk yard?
When I read that there was a new Focus Beats show on BBC & read the subheading "Find your focus with two hours of brilliant beats", I never expected my song "The Afterhour" to be playing side by side with songs by musicians I've adored & listened to for decades, like Dj Shadow, James Blake, Misst Elliot, Madlib, DJ Koze & Rosing Murphy, Kiefer, Kabuki & Stormzy.
