I love note taking and I love the zettelkasten system. At the beginning of my journey, I was all about looking at all the videos of setting up your system. It overwhelmed me with ideas, I was always looking […]
Recently, because of laptop upgrades, I came into possession of a second laptop. As someone who is going to attend uni, and uses a laptop every day, this has allowed me to set up a few things. For the […]
About a few weeks ago I got into RMIT University for their Associate Degree in Professional Writing and Editing. While I am super excited to get back to learning what I love, a lot have things have changed. I […]
There is always buzz when a new app steps onto the scene that claims to be the ‘next big thing’ in productivity land. I have been guilty of jumping on the bandwagon of ‘shiny new toy’ syndrome. When Tana […]
As a trained librarian it should be no surprise that I am a fan of reading, whether it be physical, ebook or audiobooks. However, I have finally come to a realisation – I will never read every book that […]
I have been a user of Evernote for around 8 years. I really started using it when I took my Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing course. Over the years I kept the account because I could see the […]
An internet browser may seem like a simple thing; however, considering that nearly everyone uses a browser daily, it is important that you get one that matches your workflow. Think of different browsers having different personalities. Depending on your […]
I have been a big fan of password managers for years. When I first found out about them I started with Lastpass. That suited me for quite a few years when I wouldn’t consider myself to be security aware […]
I have been having an issue with citation managers. I still use Endnote, but that was for my longer projects. However, I wanted to keep my other references for all my other writing and second-brain resources. I needed a […]
In the last few weeks – I have been looking at my productivity. I want to use fewer apps while not losing any of my productivity. I thought of canceling my Microsoft subscription; however, I soon realised that wouldn’t […]
Last week Readwise announced that they would be opening up their betas in bigger numbers. They were also ready to start sharing updates publically, this meant that I could finally share a major change in my productivity toolkit. My […]
Over the years I have changed to do apps, trying to find the right one. I have always come back to Todoist (where I am now) and I realised something this time. I needed to create a Todoist setup […]
Way back in the day when I was first looking into Personal Knowledge Management the two most popular apps on the market were Roam Research and Obsidian. I was attracted to the way Roam was set up, the daily […]
I know I have done my productivity system a few posts ago. However, as a writer, there are multiple ways that I could sort the apps I use. Every now and then I check what Ali Abdaal has posted, […]
So, I have had a Raindrop.IO account since 2020 – I tried to get into it but abandoned it pretty quickly as it would be a lot of work. So, instead, I just went back to my default Chrome […]
GitHub has always been one of those places that I have looked at and wanted to be a part of. Throughout the years, I have had a basic understanding of code. I learned a bit about it in high […]
Following on from Part One, here is the second part of my toolbox. This post will focus on my writing and reading apps – into how I create content and my personal knowledge management. WRITING Scrivener (Large projects) Because […]
A few weeks ago I mentioned in a previous post that I have gone from having a swiss-army knife to a toolbox-mode of approach to how I manage my life. I have had to split them up into subcategories, […]
With a new year, there is always a sense of starting fresh, or for me having another stab at it. For me, it was August Bradley’s PPV (Pillars, Pipelines and Vaults) System – though I knew from the outset […]
Since deciding to move back to Todoist I have been on the lookout for a habit tracker. TickTick had a built-in one, which was great but I realised I like a dedicated habit app. Over the years, I have […]
When I got a job I started using a to-do list. After much investigation which was watching heaps of review videos, I decided on Todoist. I cannot remember where I found it, but I managed to find a really […]
I want to listen to podcasts more than I should. However; I have to get past the issue I have with any media that I listen too — I want to take notes on everything that I listen too. […]
I used to binge-watch productivity videos like I would never get sick of them. However, I have recently come to a realisation — while a lot of these videos have things that a practical (some of which I have […]
