From its early days as a simple note-taking app to its current state as a convenient tool in the Apple ecosystem, Apple Notes has come a long way. We highlighted its strengths, like seamless synchronization, ease of use, and quick access, especially with the Apple Pencil. However, as workflows grow more complex, Apple Notes can often fall short as a scalable solution.We discussed how many of our Inner Circle® members initially adopt Apple Notes as an intermediate tool for quick capture but later refine their systems using tools like Tana or Raycast Notes, which bring advanced features like markdown support, faster input methods, and integration with other productivity platforms. By focusing on the ICOR® methodology, we show how combining tools in a multi-tool stack allows for a more streamlined and scalable workflow, avoiding the friction caused by trying to make one tool do it all.Whether you’re exploring Raycast Notes for its incredible speed and functionality or are curious about moving beyond Apple Notes to tools like Heptabase or Reflect, this episode provides valuable insights into finding the right tools for your unique use case. Remember, the key to productivity lies in using tools that align with your specific needs—not forcing one tool to do everything.=============================🚀✨ BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY=============================Join the Movement: https://paperlessmovement.com/joinProductivity Courses: https://paperlessmovement.com/courses/Coaching with Tom & Paco: https://paperlessmovement.com/inner-circle-cohort/=============================🤝 CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL=============================Paperless Movement®https://twitter.com/paperlessmovehttps://www.linkedin.com/company/paperlessmove/----------------------------------------Tom Solidhttps://twitter.com/tomsolidpmhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tomsolid/----------------------------------------Paco Canterohttps://twitter.com/PacocanteroWhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/paco-cantero-815b42203/==============🫡 OUR MISSION==============Our mission is to guide professionals in creating a holistic productivity system that mitigates digital clutter, handles task complexity, and transforms productivity into a sustainable lifestyle.
