Excellent post on why we don’t need more tools (read apps) to do our job:

Increasingly, I feel like a lot of my tools are dressing-up as tools, because they don’t offer any savings in time or effort, just slightly different methods to mindlessly shift information from one bucket to the next. And if one bucket has a hole in it, you get another, smaller bucket to catch anything coming out of the hole in the first bucket. This goes on and on with more holes and buckets, and before you know it, you have an intricate network of buckets whose reason for existance is to catch the information you can’t manage in the first place. You are stuck in bucket recursion, adding tools to patch the shortcomings of other tools.

This is one of the reasons I tend to use the standard apps that come with my devices as much as I can. I learn and use them till they become part of my way of doing things.

Only when you forget you use an app and let your muscle memory take over, your mind will be free to do the job you want to.
