Daily Writing Tools.
This page lists my tools for knowledge management, writing and planning my life to live more intentionally.
While I prefer to use traditional pen and paper to write my thoughts out, I mix it with digital tools to access my notes on the go. I think better when I write things down, preferably on paper, so it's usually the starting point for my workflow. I'll move whatever is relevant and needed into my digital tools for easier access.
