Pt 1: Personal Productivity Stack

This article presents the author's personal productivity stack, built around capturing thoughts in Drafts and routing them to Todoist, Notion and Notion Calendar. The author argues that most people use almost no software for personal productivity and that Apple Notes, with its single large note, is a poor place to hold thoughts. Drafts is described as the capture point, where each thought is written briefly and then turned into a "Next Best Smallest Action" using Drafts actions and the Todoist, Notion and calendar APIs. The author says the calendar should hold only external commitments, that Todoist tasks should have due dates only when missing them causes real harm, and that tasks should be sorted into red, orange and blue priorities.
