Letting changes happen

I’ve been using my MacBook Air for the last couple of weeks ignoring my iPad. Today I missed using my iPad! Actually, I’ve been fucking missing it for a few days.

I’m finding more and more that I prefer my iPad which reminds me of something that Denny wrote on the MPU Forum awhile back:

I never intended to “give up my Mac and switch to an iPad”. I just gradually did so without intent. Any adaption or stress was gradual, no pressure. I could and often did use the Mac along side of the iPad. But for whatever reason at some point around 2017 I found I’d mostly stopped using my Mac and didn’t make much fuss about it. I just kept doing what I was doing with the iPad. Honestly I think these experiments to replace the Mac with an iPad are far more likely to failure than success because of the approach being taken. There is an immediate pressure added to a transition that might likely be smoother if just allowed to happen on its own.
