Will Another App Really Fix Your Workflow? (2026/665)

When things start slipping through the cracks, it is tempting to search for a new app to solve the problem.

✅ Why downloading an app feels like progress but often is not
📌 The hidden costs of tool sprawl including subscriptions, integration headaches, and mental load
🔗 How to check if your existing tools already have the feature you need
🛡️ The one-to-one job principle for deciding whether a new tool is truly necessary
