Using plain text is really the best thing to do. I hate programs like Microsoft Word and any other word processing program tht has to do with proprietary file formats. To be brutally honest here, I actually hate proprietary file formats because that means that along with those formats, you need the programs that were made to go with those formats in order to use them. Plain text can be used on any operating system and on any computing platform whether it be a laptop, desktop, smart phone or tablet device. They all can handle plain text files with ease. Not only that, but plain text files are future proof meaning that you can still read that same text file many many years into the future, but with proprietary file formats, they more than likely will not work in the future because they change all of the time, or they may no longer be used any more because the program that once used them has upgraded and now they're using a totally different version of that file format. So yes, plain text files are really the best way to go for writing down your thoughts and ideas. They do make a great extension of your brain.
So glad I found this video! Just got my time-block planner.
What if I got to time block evenings as well, some weekends to. I have a sideline business that I run in that time frame.
