In Pursuit of Less Failure

Tools I’ve tried: evernote, markdown, org-mode, dropbox paper, onenote, google keep, regular paper, todoist, trello, wunderlist, todo.txt/todo.sh, dropbox, pinboard, pocket, instapaper, bullet journal.

What I’m using circa 2019: markdown, dropbox, google keep, pinboard, bullet journal.

What I need

simple, ubiquitous capture (so that getting more information is easy);
open access (e.g. not ecosystem dependant to retrieve or backup my information;
value-generating (e.g. the system should get out my way, so I generate output rather than fiddling with the system).
