It’s a new year, so I thought it was time for me to make an updated video sharing how I use NotePlan to organize my life! I started using NotePlan back in 2023, and I have used it every single day since then.

NotePlan has added many powerful features since the last time I made a video about it, so I wanted to demonstrate how I’m using these enhancements and also share my updated daily workflow and evening review process.
