Tools for low-energy consistency (optional)
You can build your system using free tools. Optional tools can reduce friction—especially if you struggle to start.
Good “friction reducers” usually fall into these categories:
- Focus timer (helps you begin a 20-minute session)
- Notes/dashboard tool (Notion or Google Sheets)
- Simple reminders (calendar + alerts)
- Task list tool (lightweight, not complicated)
Rule: If a tool makes your system harder, skip it.
Learning platforms (optional)
Courses can help if they fit your schedule and energy.
Before you buy anything, verify:
- what’s included (modules, templates, support)
- refund/cancellation terms (unknown until confirmed)
- whether lessons work in short sessions (10–20 minutes)
- whether there’s practice (not just theory)
Red flags:
- income promises
- pressure timers / fake urgency
- unclear pricing or unclear refund terms
How I choose what to recommend
I recommend tools and learning resources that:
- are beginner-friendly (clear steps)
- reduce time/effort (less friction)
- have clear pricing and clear terms (if unclear: unknown)
- don’t rely on hype or unrealistic promises
- fit real schedules (after work, low energy)
