build a better note taking system
You need a minimalist (yet effective) method to end the overwhelm of your digital notes and files.
You’re a busy person, spending time on meaningful projects. You don’t want to spend your precious hours searching for those plans and clever ideas you saved… somewhere. (Did you save it in a Google Doc? Or Notion page? Or in Apple Notes on your phone? Or maybe you emailed it to yourself from your work account? 🤔)
There’s a better way to organize your digital notes and files. You can finally feel in control of your digital life. Spend more time thinking and doing, and less time searching.
