1. Setup tax. Lo spend 4 jam setup Notion workspace "yang perfect" — sebelum nulis 1 kata pun.
2. Decision fatigue. "Gue simpen ini di Notion atau Obsidian ya?" — energy buat decide tool > energy buat actual work.
3. Illusion of progress. Lo organize 50 tasks di ClickUp. Feel productive. Tapi gak ngerjain 1 pun.
Pick 3 tools max. 1 untuk task management. 1 untuk notes. 1 untuk collaboration.
Commit. Pakai itu doang minimal 3 bulan. No tool-hopping.
Constraint breeds mastery. Unlimited options breeds paralysis.
Task: Notion / ClickUp / Linear (pick 1)
Notes: Apple Notes / Obsidian (pick 1)
Collab: Slack / Discord (pick 1)
That's it. Everything else = nice-to-have yang distract.
1 task done di Apple Notes > 50 task categorized di Notion tapi stuck.
Stop setup tool. Start shipping output.
Atau share ke temen yang subscribe 10+ SaaS tapi output flat.
