Tools I Actually Use

These are the tools I personally use to think, read, and work better.  Some of the links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase products—at no extra cost to you. I only recommend tools I actively use and find genuinely helpful.

Economical Simplicity

At this stage, my main process of discovery revolves around deeply absorbing information and reflecting continuously on what feels most meaningful and relevant to me personally.

My foundational step is reading books—primarily those I purchase through the Kindle library. While reading, I highlight key passages, and these highlights are automatically synced to Readwise. From there, Readwise integrates seamlessly with my central life organization tool, Notion.

More recently, Readwise launched their own app called Reader, which has replaced my previous article-saving tools (Instapaper, Pocket, etc.). Reader lets me read and highlight articles with all ads removed, and those highlights feed directly into my Readwise system. This means everything—book highlights and article excerpts—shows up in my daily “reads,” which are conveniently delivered to my phone app and email for ongoing review and contemplation.

I then attempt to improve my understanding through organizing and presenting on this website!   tongue-out
