Five Things Tech: X, Qubits, Quantum Dangers, Internet, Productivity
Read this now and get a bit smarter. It won't hurt, promise!
So this week I tried to get more productive and I downloaded Superlist. This is probably the 50th time I started to use a to-do list app. Superlist looks very promising.
I still have to add the first to-do. This is usually where my excitement with a new tool ends. It’s work. :)
Anyhow, do you remember the good old times when Yahoo! would display all the new websites and it was only a bit more than a handful each day? That was awesome. And maybe also a bit boring without video and streaming and all that. Still, I kind of wish we could bring some of that back.

Every time I read about Qubits, I regret that I didn’t pay much attention in physics class in school. This is a really impressive stuff, though.

How to fix the internet
The good old days when the internet was not so commercial. I kind of liked it, but I also don’t miss all of it… “My toxic trait is I can’t shake that naïve optimism of the early internet. Mistakes were made, a lot of things went sideways, and there have undeniably been a lot of pain and misery and bad things that came from the social era. The mistake now would be not to learn from them.“

I got a good laugh over your comment , “This is probably the 50th time I started to use a to-do list app.”
What is it about the search for a better to-do app? I have tried at least that many if not more. Looking forward to hearing if it sticks.
I have found that Microsoft has updated their ToDo app to a point that it is now my go to for my work lists. The key being to that it is now integrated into the desktop Outlook app. If you flag an email, it is automatically added to your ToDos.
