Update: Nick recently released Put Things Off for iPhone and iPod touch [App Store link], a mobile task manager that I love and recently reviewed on TUAW. What follows is an interview I conducted with Nick in April of ’08.
We live in a world obsessed with technology. Consider how quickly things move — twenty-five years ago, we had thirteen channels on TV (most of them snow), the Mac had a 8 MHz processor and the lucky among us owned a typewriter. Today, keeping up with the latest and greatest is a full-time job.
We’re also obsessed with productivity. Worse than that, we’re obsessed with being obsessed with productivity. There’s got to be a point where a person says, “Enough.”
A few months ago, I discovered Put Things Off, a productivity blog by Nick Cernis. It’s different than most — Nick writes about simplicity in a way that appeals to freelancers and office workers. He recently release his first eBook, Todoodlist* which I enjoyed very much.
I had a conversation with him about the book and our relationship with technology in general, which I’ve published below. Enjoy.
