Like many people who are interested in the productivity sphere, I am always on the lookout for a better app/website to help me organise my life.
And like many of us discover sooner or later, I often end up spending more time learning how to use a shiny new piece of software vs. actually doing the important tasks I had planned.

Nowadays I mostly rely on a combination of the standard-issue Notes and Calendar apps, with a sprinkling of OmniFocus for productivity-ninja type of stuff. I’ll write more about this setup in the future, but in the meantime, here’s a preview of what my Notes app looks like:
The emojis are there to make the app more pleasant to use. Don’t judge me!
