The holidays are here and I’ve been doing more work on my “Yule” playlist. I’m always adding (and subtracting) to it. If you’ve got an Apple Music subscription, go ahead and subscribe and enjoy. The playlist is heavily jazz but with a few other delightful holiday songs from other artists.
Happy Holidays, y’all.
Flexibits, makers of Fantastical and Cardhop, for the first time ever, are having a sale on their subscriptions. From now until November 30, you can get 50% off an annual subscription or 50% off your first month of a monthly subscription!
I like Fantastical so much that I’ve produced videos about it. Having a power-user calendar app can really help you up your game. Purchases need to be made through flexibits.com directly to get the discount.
A flood of emails is coming. Black Friday this. Cyber Monday that. A coupon here. A sale there. Your inbox will be flooded with deals, and while saving money this holiday season would be great, you still have work to do. You can ward off these distractions with this week’s MacSparky sponsor, SaneBox.
With SaneBox, you don’t have to wade through these messages to find the really important ones — the work or personal emails you have to deal with *now*. SaneBox sorts the email sent to your inbox. The important ones will stay in your inbox, and the less important ones, the distractions you don’t have to deal with right now, are moved to your SaneLater folder. SaneBox allows you to focus on actual work. Work now. Shop later.
You don’t have to drown in emails. Give SaneBox a try. Sign up for a free trial, and you’ll get a $10 credit you can use towards a SaneBox subscription.

This week MacSparky is sponsored by Daylite, which just added its new Daylite Opportunities Board.
Unlock your sales potential with the new Daylite Opportunities Board
For small businesses, acquiring new business often means juggling multiple priorities at the same time, as each deal has its own time frame and different client requirements. That’s why you need a tool that will help better manage your sales pipeline, so you’re making the most of every sales opportunity that comes your way.
Meet the Daylite Opportunities Board
The Daylite Opportunities Board lets you visually track your deals’ progress at every stage and helps you prioritize sales opportunities. This powerful feature gives you a holistic view of your sales pipelines, allowing you to track where each Opportunity is in the process, so you and your team can focus on the most valuable ones. The drag-and-drop functionality allows you to move opportunities from one stage to the next, and you can easily classify deals as “won” or “lost” by dragging them to the respective status categories. Learn more about how this powerful Daylite feature has become a game-changer for Apple-savvy small businesses.
I really like this new feature. Something visual like this is the best way to keep all of your team on the same page. Because it is so easy to access and adjust, it means your team will get invested and use the tool. There is a reason why boards like this are so popular.
