This morning’s moment in Waking Up was wonderfully simple.

You have one job, and it consists of two parts. Be a good person, and pay attention.

Two things.

We went to our 3rd St. Olaf Christmas Festival tonight. Mazie is in St. Olaf Chapel Choir with the red robes. This is such a great event made even better when your daughter is in it!

We tried out Loon Liquor in Northfield today for lunch. The pizza was really good and the distillery was really great to hang out in. If you are in Northfield give this place a go. They mill their own flour!

Add to List Shortcut

OmniFocus is my trusted system for tracking all of my commitments, as well as my “someday, maybes” and a number of other lists that I have. A while back I started using a set of “Idea Lists” that work really well for me to capture things like books to consider, shows to watch, restaurants to visit, gift ideas, and whatever else. These lists are a form of a “someday, maybe” because they are not actionable, but they are very specific to a thing where someday buckets are broader.

I want to make it as simple as possible to get things into these lists so I made one of my most simple and frequently used Shortcuts — “Add to List”. I find this super helpful and thought I would share. It relies on you have a Folder in OmniFocus where you keep these kind of lists. The magic is that it makes it super easy to capture into the right list and stay in the flow of what you are working on. For me, having it display a menu of lists and being integrated into the share sheet removes a lot of friction.

You can add the Add to List shortcut.

I love the words play and tinker.

It is very important for me to have projects that I can play and tinker with.

Thankfully I have more than enough of them. 😆
