Tech Tools
What’s in my tech toolkit?
I love hearing about the digital tools people use to run their lives. Assuming it isn’t just me, here are the tools I use for productivity, learning, content creation, and wellbeing.
If you’re curious about some of the non-digital tools in my home office, there’s a list here: Office.
