Plain text, Paper, Less (PTPL) Productivity Digest, text-based image by Author

Welcome! I’m Ellane, and this is a weekly, garage-door-up summary of how I’m learning to simplify and future-proof my digital-analog workflow.

Some of my articles are behind a paywall. Paying to access them is one way to support my work, or you can click here to read for free.

Replacing Comic Sans, at last

Here’s a 22 minute video about the infamous Comic Sans. It’s a good history of how it became one of the most used and most hated fonts of all time.

If you’re scratching your head at what font choices have to do with productivity, try changing your notes app font to 8 point Alumni Sans Collegiate, and see how you get along!

Fonts are all about dressing your words in clothing that suits the occasion. You’re not going to wear a ball gown or tux to a football game (especially not if you’re playing), and a baggy t-shirt isn’t going to cut it for a night at the opera (especially if you’re singing).
