uses

The tools I actually reach for, how I plan my days, and a few channels worth your time.

notes & thinking

Obsidian: my second brain. Plain markdown, local files, linked notes I fully own.
Excalidraw: for sketching systems and thinking out loud on a canvas before I write any code.

planning

Time-blocking: I plan the day in blocks rather than a loose to-do list, heavily inspired by Cal Newport's take on deep work. Every hour gets a job, and I protect the deep blocks hard.
