Don’t Go Entirely Paperless
by
Jamie talks about one of the issues with buying into any system, going overboard. When I was going paperless with Evernote, my experiment was to see if I could go completely paperless, so everything went into Evernote.

Today I’ll only be looking at how [Things 3 supports Scribble](https://culturedcode.com/things/blog/). I don’t think that Scribble will greatly increase my Apple Pencil use, but it’s nice to have for any user that is using their Apple…

by
As I’ve looked around at different task managers and settled on Things 3 as my first option to test out, I realized I was giving up my [TickTick Content Calendar](https://curtismchale.ca/2020/08/03/build-a-content-calendar-with-ticktick).
