notion

Notion fangirl here! I've slowly transitioned everything in my life over to Notion, my brilliant ideas, notes, project, content, and client management, you name it. I'm constantly doing a million different things, but Notion keeps me organized.

If it's not Wordpress it's Webflow. My personal favorite tool for building websites. I'm a big fan of the customization and control you get.
