I love this list of tools you’ve tried and how they’ve worked and don’t work for you. I think this is a great example of how you are following what you need in this current but still experimenting and not getting caught up in the hype. (But you’re not ignoring it either.)
I look forward to seeing where retirement takes you!
I pinged my old boss (my now boss’s boss) yesterday to ask for suggestions of one thing I must have on my new Mac. I saw him in the hallway later and he said, I’m working on an answer for you, but there isn’t just one thing. :) We discussed a couple things I’m looking at and he gave me suggestions of people to talk to about them.
Really enjoying talking to people see what excites them and why.
OMG. When I left BlackBerry (still called RIM), I was so used to using the latest and greatest smartphone (I left in 2011). I also had sticker shock when I first had to buy one! Back at BB I had a drawer full of phones I could use. Also, it made me treat them terribly. To this day, I have to have a strong case on my phone because I drop it all the time!!! BlackBerries were indestructible. So I never worried about dropping it. Plus, if I did and something actually happened, refer back to the drawer full of phones.
So I feel you on figuring out what you actually need to pay for going forward!
It’s amazing how quickly we get used to having the tools at our fingertips. I read someone else posting something similar about leaving Google and how they miss the infrastructure that was already in place. Based upon my work in the last 10 years, I have a couple ideas for small businesses to be able to protect themselves like the big guys.
I did get a personally Calendly account when I left corporate. It is far too useful. I never want to go back to the back and forth of trying to find a meeting time that works.
I set up a personal Calendly last month. I offered anyone 30 minutes to just chat in support of Mental Health Month. And while using the internal calendar would have worked, I just wanted something separate. I think I'm going to keep it. I admit, I live and die by my google calendars.
