Why just blocking Meta's Threads won't be enough to protect your privacy once they join the fediverse

At least, not with today's software.

I put together a little collection of templates I was using to plan my days by hand (yes, with real #handwriting) throughout June, on my #iPad.

A couple of days into July I had the bright idea of making the 24-hour template into a circle—and oh, I love it! So much!!

Lest you think I always plan every day like this, settle down. ‘Tis not the case. But when the mood strikes, this kind of template is *just* what I need to get clarity on the hours ahead.

Hourly Planning Templates

Place $0 in the box to download these dinky templates free of chargeDo you have some sort of scratchpad for your thoughts and plans; a judgement-free zone where you can get it all out before starting what other people see as your real work? Update: Circular templates for light and dark modes now added. I love these so much—especially in apps like Concepts (or even Procreate, if that's your thing), where you can rotate the canvas! Planning my day by hand feels so much more fluid, more natural.This tiny handful of templates help me to plan my days in the Concepts app on my iPad. You can also import them into GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, and Noteful.24 boxes in a rectangular grid (x 2, for light/dark modes)24 boxes in a circular grid (x 2, for light/dark modes)Numbers 1–24 in a vertical list, in my handwriting - grey and goldNumbers 1–24 in a vertical list, in my handwriting - grey and gold, with a gold borderThey're simple boxes and numbers, wonderfully and imperfectly put together. I may add to them as time goes on. If you get the current offering today, I will let you know when there are more templates available to download.I usually choose to write the hours of the day in vertical format, with 6am in the top left box. You can start wherever you like. Try turning the grid horizontally, and plan your day with a different perspective. The shaded boxes in my sketches show the hours I was in bed. It's a good way to track my sleep, and see at a glance how I did for the month overall.Lately I've been using a single Concepts infinite canvas for an entire month of hour-by-hour planning, and general brain dumping. It's solved the problems my past scratchpads suffered: one book for an entire year meant it was very difficult to find things when I wanted them! One month per page is gelling very well with my brain at the moment.Dark mode isn't for everyone, but I like it when I'm sitting in a darkened room in the early hours of the morning, releasing the pressure on my brain out through my fingers. As you can see, it's easy to create spaces of light mode wherever you like in Concepts, by adding a different colour splotch to a lower layer.You can read more about scratchpads in Concepts in this article of mine.

@jslr @ellane I love that the BuJo is so flexible. I started it at the beginning of this year but quickly realised that the monthly and daily logs just didn't work for me, so now I have combined them into weekly spreads, with a very much smaller monthly log (just half a page) for anything that's due more than a week ahead.

Can anyone reccomend me a good server that has pledged to block #Threads? My server has opted not to, so I want to move to one that will.
