Less Software, More Focus

Every new app promises to save time. Add them up, and they often cost more in attention than they return in efficiency.

The hidden cost of context switching

Each tool has its own interface, notification rhythm, and mental model. Switching between five apps to run a practice is not just slow — it is cognitively expensive.

The right software, used carefully

More software is rarely the answer. The right software, used carefully, almost always is. This means choosing tools that fit your workflow rather than reshaping your workflow around tools.

What to do instead

Start with an audit. Map every tool you use, what it does, and whether it earns its place. Then consolidate, automate, or remove.
