Work Smarter Not Harder
Better Note-Taking. I don't know about you, but I tend to create an entire folder of notes for longer reporting and research projects. Google Drive has always felt just... too segment-y? Enter Obsidian.md. It's the easiest wiki notetaker I've ever seen. While I still use Notion for things that require segmentation and sorting, Obsidian's link-based organization is waaaaay friendlier to large-scale research projects like investigative reporting or Dungeons and Dragons campaigns.
Better Color-Correcting. Man I was for-real using that "color picker" function to matte and then correct whatever needed touching up in curves, like a numpty, before I saw this video.
Stop Scrolling. I didn't actually hate this article from HBR on how to stop procrastinating.
