But they're not closing a hobby project. They're shutting down a business, laying off staff and ending a service that people were paying for. That should always be a hard decision.

> copying over commitments I’d already recorded was labor-intensive, and assigning a time to every item made the plan feel rigid.
Sometimes the friction is the point. It forces you to think about what is actually a priority and what is cruft.
That said, this is a cute idea. If removing the friction helps you make a plan and stick to it roll with it.

I don't know what that is and googling gets me nothing. I'm also unclear how saying "you don't need a £200 fountain pen to write well" offended you. Have a great day anyway.

I use a cheap (£20) fountain pen it doesn't affect how good my writing is. That's practice not tools :)

Humour can absolutely feel forced and insecure, however it can be a great tool to help deliver a point. Done well humour can help with the flow of a presentation or text, done badly it jars. You have to know your audience and keep your humour on topic: "street jokes"* are almost never going to work in your favour.
I read a really interesting book* about the topic a while back where the authors delve into why humour works and how to find a style of humour that works for you. Unfortunately there are places imo where they fall into their own trap of trying too hard, but honestly it serves to prove the point.
