Welcome to this week’s edition of Reagan’s Roundup!
Well, I’ve finished moving across the country and am now in the Great Lakes State! Thank you for your prayers. Just getting settled in now, and trying to get back to our regularly scheduled Redeeming Productivity programming. So, to that end…
Here are some links to fuel your journey toward being a more productive Christian.
Here’s how to (properly) put down your phone

macOS Big Sur is here
If you’re a mac user, you’ll be happy to know a new OS upgrade is here. Nothing super exciting, but it paves the way for the M1 macs coming next year. I do like the new control center, though.
