I’ve started appreciating simple things
I used to get swept up in the excitement of new productivity tools, spending hours setting up intricate systems that I’d abandon within a week. Over time, I’ve come to appreciate the value of simpler approaches.
These days, I’m less interested in the latest note-taking app or project management software. I’ve found that simple markdown notes work better for me than complex tools like Obsidian. Instead of obsessively capturing every detail from books or podcasts, I jot down a few thoughts in Apple Notes and let them simmer. I trust my memory more now, allowing connections to form naturally.
Sometimes, the simplest tools do the job just as well—without the extra setup. I've learned that more features don’t always mean more productivity. In fact, cutting back on complexity has helped me focus on what really matters.
