My current productivity setup

I’ve been doing tech and storytelling for a long time now and my tool set is always evolving.

My current tech setup includes:

Notes and Planner

I have tried more times than I can count to be 100% digital. I was using a Sharp planner in the 90s, waaayyy before it was at all useful. Then there was a Palm Pilot and a string of 15 more years of trying pretty much everything before falling in love with paper. Paper helps me to think better. Plus, it’s not tempting me to look at whatever notification pops up. “Look at me! Look at me!” My daily planner is currently by ZerModus. It’s a little expensive, but it’s working for me. My notebook varies. Lately, I’ve found a lot of value in taking handwritten notes and then transcribing them into Markdown files. Touching ideas twice has really helped me see things clearly. I have a weird affection for Fountain Pens (and watches, but that’s another post). My EDC is the Pilot V-Pen and/or a Lamy Safari.
