Continue Reading5 improvements Google Keep can make for a better notetaking and journaling experience
I tend to use Google’s apps and services in unique ways. In fact, how I gravitate towards productivity tools oftentimes completely flies in the face of how they’re designed, and refactoring them to work better for me has both positive and negative effects.

In my household, I’m the digital enthusiast, whereas my fiancée is in love with the idea of completing tasks from paper or even a sticky note.
