I take notes and write up mini reviews on my laptop when I watch shows as its the only way I can follow what's happening. Even with no distractions I tend to drift off into my thoughts.

Once or a twice a year at work I'll go through the cycle of creating a new planning system, doing really well with it before it ultimately fails. It's better than nothing though. I'm using Microsoft Planner a lot now.

I have a Galaxy Watch which I use to help with my morning routine. It syncs with google calendar and I schedule in everything I need to do in minute detail (wake up, get up, make breakfast, eat breakfast etc....) it kinda works but not so much just recently. Again better than nothing.

How about you?

I just started using planner as a digital kanban board. My new job has next to nothing written down. Everyone has been there for years so they "just know how to do it". Well that doesn't help a new person, lol. That is an innovative way to use the cards. I will definitely look into it more. I think the key takeaway is "if it helps you, use it!"
