The Calendar tracks assignments, appointments, and general to-dos. Right now I use a combination of Readdle’s Calendars 5 and a whiteboard over my desk. However, when I want to do a quick search for a subject, stories based on my interests are always there. The best part is that I rarely get to most of them, so it’s a built-in time-sink filter. Rather than just watching the morning slip away while I flit from one to the other, I send them to Pocket for future reading. I subscribe to dozens of RSS feeds and find countless stories that interest me as I browse through them at breakfast. It’s amazingly easy to use once it’s set up. It’s nothing but folders all the way down. I have projects for different subjects (Tech, Catholicism, and individual books), and then keep folders in those projects for each magazine, with other folders for each assignment, and files for each piece of each assignment. I like distraction-free plain text editors, but after playing with all of them I still find myself writing straight in Scrivener. I’m writing this post in it now, and I clip some stuff here now and then, but really that’s just habit.įinally, Scrivener is the perfect word processor. I’m really not sure why I still use Evernote, actually.



I’ve stopped using Evernote for ideas, lines, and quotes and just use Drafts to append time/date-stamped text to TXT files in Dropbox. What apps/software/tools can’t you live without? Why?ĭropbox is the repository for everything I do: files, pictures, text, notes: everything.ĭrafts is kind of the traffic cop: it allows me to write, clip, and push text anywhere I want.
