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.

What might change in your life if you were consistently able to ask great questions? This week I look at how your daily note is as good place as any to practice this skill. I also talk about migrating my Bullet Journal to a disc bound book only one month into the practice.

Great questions bring great answers (daily notes can help)

Félix (@fay59), an Apple employee, wrote this on Mastodon last week:

Thought Leadering of the day: asking great questions is an extremely underrated skill. 80% of the time you will find your solution as you’re writing the question, and the other 20% of the time people will find it really easy to help.
