I know I said people should cash checks immediately, but the sole exception should be rent checks. Those should be held until the 1st.

Apple’s App Store still limits developers’ options for how to make money - The Verge
if you see an app switch to a subscription model, it’s not necessarily doing so because it’s the trendy thing to do — instead, there may not be any other real choice.
Important to note.

Offering v2 customers the same features in Fantastical 3 sounds like a good idea. Until every three taps I inadvertently try to do something “premium” and it prompts me to upgrade.

Book Review: Free to Focus 📚
January 27,2020I really wanted to enjoy this book. Michael Hyatt regularly writes and speaks on topics that interest me, but for some reason they just don’t click with me. Perhaps it’s because he’s pivoted to focusing on “high performers” and I’m just a stay-at-home dad, but it’s disappointing that I’m walking away from this book without a single thing that I can use. And that’s very unusual.
I don’t doubt that many people benefit greatly from the principles and techniques in the book. I’m just not one of them.
I will say that the design and layout is gorgeous!
Would I recommend: NO
