Here are some of the tools I've used over the past years. I've tried many, many more but these are the ones that stuck around. To be honest, it's nothing fancy or sophisticated, but that doesn't mean it's less effective 😉

To monitor:

• I always set goals and track progress in my primary note taking tool, which currently is Notion:

Notion - The all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases.

• To journal daily using customized prompts:

‎Grid Diary - Journal, Planner

• To monitor your mood if you menstruate:

‎Flo My Health & Period Tracker

• To monitor your mood if you don't menstruate:

‎Daylio Dagboek

To learn on the go:

• To listen to your favorite podcast and highlight quotes:

Highlight & share the best moments from podcasts

• To learn a new language:

Learn a language for free

• Great for finding lists, templates and visual inspiration:

• Blinkest for summaries of books. I use this to read self-help books. This way you get the concrete tips, without all the page-filler bs:

To set (learning) goals:

• The Fear-Setting method of Tim Ferriss:

Fear-Setting: The Most Valuable Exercise I Do Every Month

• To design a learning experience for yourself or others:

Learning Experience Canvas - Learning Experience Design

• Visualization. I don't really have a tool for this, but visualization plays a big role in how I set (learning) goals. I usually just write intuitively, without paying attention to spelling and grammar etc. A good question to start a visualization is: what if tomorrow your life was perfect and all your dreams have come true, what has changed? And what do you need to learn in order to get there?

For online lectures and classes:

• To follow MOOCS:

edX | Free Online Courses by Harvard, MIT, & more

Coursera | Build Skills with Online Courses from Top Institutions

• For innovative and interdisciplinary content:

ID Learning Hub [Home] - London Interdisciplinary School

To read written content:

To read books I use an e-reader. Much of the great written content is not to be found in books however, but rather in newsletters, blogs and articles. To avoid having to visit an endless list of websites to check for new blogs or cluttering your mailbox with newsletter I use these tools for a better reading experience.

• To read newsletters:

Stoop - A newsletter app

• To read blogs:

Feedly - Goodbye information overload

• To save articles you want to read later:
