Which sounds most like your style in real life

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the first draft for a while.

I started this because my first week felt a little stuck, and tools seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot.
