| >...leaving me to move to Yet Another Tool. That's actually integral to the notetaking/productivity app market. Either the app soon dies out or you get bored with it and you move on to the next one. Just like with self-help products. Targets of the self-help market are never intended to just read one or two books and get on with their lives. They're vulnerable to seemingly unending consumption of one self-help product after another. They're endlessly sold on regurgitated feel-good crap that keeps them coming back for more. These productivity tools, like self-help books, become the ends in themselves, rather than the means. I used to do the same thing with productivity & learning apps and systems. Kept procrastinating looking for that One Good Tool. I had this misconception that if I didn't have that one perfect notetaking tool or productivity app, then I'd be held back. I ultimately realized that what was really holding me back was myself. I eliminated my dependency on The One Perfect Tool, I replaced that dependency with more practical action, lightly supported by simple pen & paper and plain text files, and now I'm more productive and more learned than ever. |
