I get where you’re coming from about “consistency beats complexity,” but I’ve gotta push back a little. I used to swear by sticky notes and notebooks, but after losing one too many lists to spilled coffee or a gust of wind, I finally caved and started using a simple app on my phone. Not fancy—just a checklist—but it’s always in my pocket, and I can snap photos or voice record when my hands are full.
QR code stickers are clever, but honestly, sometimes tech just adds another layer to manage.
I thought the same, but honestly, the right tech can actually *simplify* things if you keep it basic. I still sketch on scrap wood sometimes, but having a digital backup has saved me more than once when chaos hits. Maybe it’s not about low-tech vs. high-tech, just finding the balance that keeps you sane.
Totally get what you mean about digital backups saving the day. I used to be all about paper plans—sticky notes everywhere, color-coded folders, the whole nine yards. But after one too many “where did I put that?” moments, I started using my tablet for sketches and notes. Still, sometimes I miss just scribbling on whatever’s handy. Do you ever find yourself going back to paper for certain things, or has the app totally replaced it for you? I feel like there’s something about physically crossing things off a list that’s just... satisfying.
