Pomodoro and Bulleted Lists

Productivity and moving away from App Todo Lists

I have tried them all, every new app or system and always digital. Some better than others and some work well but do not sync across devices or lose data. And I always have the feeling that an analogue (paper!) system might suit me better.

At the very least it would not run out of battery and my handwriting since I became a programmer would put a doctor to shame.

So after a stressfull week leaving me behind with goals and feeling pressured with everthing I decided to utilise the flow mentioned in one of the posts I am about to link to that will help me get stuff done and feel good about it.

The two methods essentially are using the flow that the pomodoro technique will give me

And the second here is how to set up a paper todo and project management list on paper

Responsive Logos

Responsive Design and Responsive Logos are important right now. Google likes mobile friendly sites and me personally I probably browse more websites on a mobile or tablet than I do on a laptop or desktop hooked up to one or more large monitors. 

I haven't won this battle personally yet proof being that my own blog (Google blogger based) http://solrevdev.com doesn't handle this too well by the fact I don't have a logo as such and it has too many words and therefore doesn't respond! 

So not being a designer it's something I am trying to learn and adapt to even though i could shield myself away as being a "DevOps" guy or a "Developer".

But I've always cared about the front end .The front end is the application for the user not the super fast IOC container or funky ORM framework being used.

So with that in mind I'll try and find things on the web to help websites snap and look right when "responding" to device screen real estate.

Here is the first useful link but I shall probably find an expert on 
https://uk.fiverr.com to do this for me :) 

That said here is a good link to get me started:

Dropbox Paper Invite

So it's been a while since I've posted here. I've been busy looking after family and trying to get back into boxing and health recently. 

Anyway what's shiny? 


Dropbox have given me access to the beta program Dropbox Paper. 

So hold tight for a review soon. I'll try and do a better review than my last techie review which i think was an Amazon AWS review.
