7. | My toolkit

I have had a proven toolkit for years in my work, which I can use with great experience during preparation. Of course, there are also software that I have only just learned about or will learn about.

My tools for performing my daily tasks are Gmail, Google Calendar, and Todoist. I opened my Gmail account on 12/12/2005 and it has recorded 61,000+ conversations so far. I have also been using the calendar since then. I started using Todoist in 2016 and have completed 51,000+ tasks in it since then. Based on the numbers, I can truly say that these three software are part of my daily life. In recent years, I have also used Trello regularly for certain jobs, but Todoist is my much bigger favorite.

I store my data on a single 4TB portable SSD (of course, I regularly back it up) or on Google Drive, depending on the purpose of use.

I store most of my data in Microsoft Excel for preparation, and as an alternative, I use Google SpreadSheets in some cases.

I write my articles for this blog using Scrivener. This program was specifically designed to support fiction writing, but I like writing in it much more than in Microsoft Word. Of course, I also use Word for my work. Google Translate is my partner in preparing the English version of the texts.

I manage the collected links with the Raindrop.io application.

My artificial intelligence (AI) partner in most cases is ChatGPT.

I perform file operations with Total Commander.

I am currently working on an HP Probook laptop, with Windows operating system, with the laptop’s own display. I have a Remarkable paper tablet, the first version. I’ve been using it every day since July 2019. I currently have a Redmi Note 9 Pro mobile phone, which I’ve been using for six years and is just about ready to replace. When choosing the next one, I’ll take into account where I’m going.

I use a lot of online tools for converting, editing, searching, etc., but I won’t start listing them, since all you need is the internet to find and use them.

I take on the world with this set of tools and the experience behind them.

I created this website yesterday, 2024.12.21, with the WordPress framework that I have been using for years. I have created many websites with this tool in the past 10+ years, and nowadays I don’t use anything else if I can. I have been creating websites since 2000, and I used several other tools before WordPress, but today I dare to say that this is the best. I prefer to use WordPress with Elementor.
