Ever found yourself with 37 browser tabs open at 11:43 PM, desperately searching through google docs, drive, emails, and your notes app—only to feel more frustrated and lost than when you started?
Right now, you’re probably:
- Switching between Evernote, ClickUp, Notion, Roam, and Obsidian (while still losing every good idea)
- Tagging, Labelling, Organizing & Color-coding notes that you’ll never find again
- Creating “the perfect productivity system” (that you’ll abandon next week)
- Promising yourself that tonight won’t be another late one (it will be)
- Missing life’s moments because “finding that idea” takes too long
I know because I was there, too. I had multiple “second brains” (oh, the irony!), a dozen apps for “efficiency,” and a rainbow of tags, yet I still couldn’t find what I needed when I needed it.
But everything changed when I stopped trying to “manage information” and let it work for me instead. And over the next 5 days, I’m going to show you:
