Why I Quit Paid Apps
I wasted 10 years and hundreds of dollars chasing the "perfect" productivity setup in Notion and Todoist. Then I realized the most powerful system was already on my apple devices for free.
In this video, I’m breaking down the exact 4-app loop—Notes, Reminders, Calendar, and Mail—that killed my app fatigue and let me actually get back to work.
We’ll explore how to link these "basic" tools into a professional-grade dashboard for personal goals and running a creative business.
No subscriptions, no fancy dashboards, just a low-friction system that stays out of your way.
