The Case for Using Fewer Productivity Apps, Not More
Adding another productivity app is the default reaction to feeling disorganized. Here's the case for doing the opposite.
Every additional productivity app adds a new place information can end up, which means more places to check and more decisions about where any given piece of information actually belongs.
Why more tools often means less productivity
Splitting notes, tasks, and calendars across many specialized apps frequently creates the exact fragmentation those tools were meant to solve, since keeping several systems consistently updated takes more ongoing effort than maintaining one.
What consolidating actually looks like
Choosing one tool to serve as the single source of truth for a given kind of information, and deliberately resisting adding a new app for every new workflow that comes up, tends to produce a more reliable system than continuously searching for the next tool to fix a problem.
