It’s often better to use what you have, instead of trying to find something new that might be notionally better suited, however counterintuitive that might be. While tools can be beautiful and filled with potential in the abstract, they are ultimately only a means to an end. I’m prone to fixate on the means, rather than the goal — sometimes as a way to avoid the goal. The flexibility of digital tools can be their greatest weakness, capturing too much attention with their orthogonal possibilities. Ostensibly simpler tools have only two real modes: used or not.
