Number two, I started using Apple Notes way more. So from 2023 into 2024, I was using Notion for everything. Our whole business is run on Notion. Our team likes it. I'm not hating on Notion. But for me, it's too complicated. And Apple Notes is the bare minimum of what I need. And I just find I'm extremely more productive with Apple Notes. It's simplified my thinking process.

So I highly recommend just simplifying your productivity stack if you can. The last thing is I use an app called Things on my phone and on desktop. It's a to-do list app. It's just like the most beautiful to-do list app I've been able to find. And I honestly have had Things since 2011. But I haven't really been using it. I've used more complicated to-do list apps.

And again, you're hearing it again. It's like simplification things. It's very focused. It's a really pretty app. And it's been really helpful in terms of productivity gains for 24. Another section, new insights and learnings. I wanted to share a couple of these with you. There's something I call the Friday afternoon test. I didn't make it up. A friend of mine told me about it.

He basically is a CEO of a few hundred million dollar company. He says he only makes big decisions on Friday afternoon. He says, if it feels right when you're tired and ready for the weekend, it's probably right. I thought that was really interesting. A lot of the time, you make these big decisions when you're in the moment and you're really stoked.

You've got a lot of coffee in you and you're like, this is amazing, let's go. Take a second. Don't make any impulsive decisions. Let it sit for a bit. And when you're tired and ready for the weekend, let's say it's a Friday afternoon, how are you feeling about it? Are you still really excited about it? Are you more excited about it? Are you less excited about it?

And maybe it doesn't need to be Friday afternoon for some people. Some people it could be 6 p.m. on a Wednesday, right? You're trying to get through it. But I think the point is have that weekly reminder, Friday afternoon, Wednesday night, whatever it is for you, and ask yourself, is this the big decisions I need to make this month? Maybe it's not a weekly meeting. Maybe it's a once a month.
