Looking back I see that 2024 brought some changes to my setup.
I switched back from TickTick to Things 3 as todo manager. Even though I can only use Things through my iPhone and Mac (not through Windows at work) I found that I care more about the aesthetics and upcoming view of Things, rather than all features and functionalities that TickTick offers.
2024 also made me return to RSS to stay on top of things and thoroughly enjoy doing this with the new Reeder. I know it's not for everyone but the ability of following many feeds and lack of unread count do work well for me.
I also started to care more about logging and keeping track of things, like movies, books, recipes,... with apps like Ripple, Sofa and Mela as my favourite for meal tracking and planning.
I started to explore new hobbies. For starters, I started blogging and with that, embraced Ulyssess and iA Writer (both through Obsidian) to simplify and enjoy my writing process. I also started drawing (mainly on the iPad) with Tayasui sketches as my go-to app. I'm also back into photography, posting some Snapshots on this blog and Glass (a community I joined through a black Friday discount).
And last but not least, I stopped using Twitter (and its hustle culture) and moved to the cosy and friendly space of social.lol on Mastodon enjoying the interactions and its people.
