Good workers and good tools

I missed a day. But I’m not missing two. Never miss two days.

Its because I left my phone at work, and it has all my reminders and daily to-do lists on it.

I know that only a bad worker blames their tools. But good workers usually have decent tools, so that has to mean something….

Speaking of good tools, I’ve looked at a fair few and here’s the three that I’m finding consistently helpful and using right now.

  1. Anki: Free on Android, this is my #1 app for language learning right now. I’m doing 15 - 30 minutes of flashcards every day (except yesterday) and learning everything from single kupu, simple phrases, new sentence constructions grammar rules, through to entire karakia.

  2. Māori Dictionary: This is bookmarked on my browser and on my home screen on my phone. I paid the money for the app because hey, it’s a digital dictionary in my pocket. And it has audio files for learning correct pronunciation!

  3. Te Kākano: This book is awesome! I haven’t looked at it since I started my course, but I need all the help I can get so I’ll be digging into a new chapter next week I think! I put new sentences from this book into an Anki deck.
