You can see tools for thought appearing everywhere and every day.
I could have listed the 1.048 features I’d like, but let’s simplify it.
I love simplifying my life and yours too.
Bet on Simplicity in Life
Don’t overcomplicate.
It’s simplicity that’ll drive you to your best performance.
That’s how you’ll achieve the type of life you’re aiming to.
Let’s Go Back to the Basics
Let’s forget about cool features.
Let’s go back to the ones that are essential, required.
The things you cannot live without.
1. Easy Capture Process
You don’t want to miss a thing.
If a thought pops up in your mind, you want to keep it. You don’t want to lose it!
All life-changing projects in life always start as a simple idea that pops up in your mind.
2. Beautiful GUI
You’re using your tool daily, for a whole bunch of hours.
You want and need to enjoy the experience. You need motivation when looking at your screen. You should be willing to use and interact with your tool.
It’s not about being fancy. It’s about increasing your performance.
Some companies take this seriously.
Just as an example, check out this article written by the amazing Superhuman team to really understand “How to design delightful dark themes”.
This is what I call professionalism.
3. Fluid UX
Friction is not accepted.
Flow interruption either.
You should navigate smoothly.
Do you suffer when using the physical part of your brain? Then, you shouldn’t suffer when using the digital one either.
Fluidity assures you’ll keep using your system forever.
4. Focus mode
You need to disappear from the outer world to perform at your best.
You need your tool to help you concentrate, cleaning up everything that could get your attention.
Distraction is not allowed.
That focus mode promotes your flow, makes things easier so that you take the best out of yourself.
Takeaways
- If you find a tool that gives you these 4 features, don’t hesitate: go for it!
- Be sure your life will improve.
- Easy capturing ideas, enjoying your environment, feeling “flowy”, and being concentrated is more than enough to achieve a life of fulfillment.
