People often ask what's in my toolkit, so here's the honest, unglamorous list of what I actually open every day.
The editor is where I live, paired with a terminal that never closes. Everything else is in service of reducing friction: a fast notes app for capture, a task manager I actually trust, and a browser stripped down to the essentials.
The lesson I keep relearning: the best tool is the one that gets out of your way. Fancy features matter far less than something you'll reach for without thinking.
