I always have a habit of thinking the grass is greener on the other side. The need to constantly improve myself in order to be efficient in the world.

I second guess myself wondering if my workflow is good as I can possibly make it. Every year I find my favorite tools for work to replace new ones. I change designs not only to strengthen my skills, but because I want to find the best one for me and my clients. The true problem is I don’t know if switching to a new tool is better than my last one.

I constantly switch reminder apps in hope to find the new perfect balance of UI design and effective productivity. I used Any.Do for a full year, then switched to Clear, then toCarrot. They all are constantly improving and releasing new features that I can easily jump ship to try out. But in the end, is this worth spending the time migrating over to a new service to accomplish what I was already doing?

I had my head in the ground like an Ostrich.

Now I am tracking my changes and truly ability to tell if this new food snack is healthier or listening to a certain music genre will make me more productive. It’s crazy to track everything, just only the big ones.

Everyone has different tools for their work so suggesting a perfect one is subjective. By not having an ostrich problem, at least I know what is working.
