Choose Tools That Match Your Energy

Your tech stack should energize you, not drain you.

🧠 ONE Smart Idea

Your stack reflects your state.

Ai tools aren’t passive. They either amplify your natural flow, or interrupt it.

The smartest tech choices aren’t about features or trends. They’re about energy match.

If your stack doesn't respect your rhythm, style, and speed… you’re paying with more than just subscription fees.

You’re paying with your peace and productivity.

Today, we fix that.

📖 Story Spark

I coached a founder who said:

“I’ve got every hot tool. Why does creating feel miserable?”

We looked at her stack:

  • Notion (complex, friction-heavy setup)

  • ChatGPT (endless tweaking, no templates)

  • Zapier (too many disconnected automations)

Great tools, but a terrible match for her style, which was quick, visual, and spontaneous.

So we rebuilt:

  • Notion → switched to Milanote (visual-first notes)

  • ChatGPT → templated with Tone Prompts

  • Zapier → streamlined into 3 frictionless workflows

Instant shift.

Her words:
“I feel like myself again.”

Note: These tools aren’t necessarily the tools that I recommend. In fact, they’re not even tools that I personally use.

So it’s not about me.
It’s about what works best for YOU!

⚙️ Tactical Application: Energy Alignment Scorecard

Here’s how to audit your stack in under 10 minutes:

Step 1: List Your Core Tools

List your primary stack by category:

  • Notes

  • Creation (AI/content)

  • Communication

  • Automation

  • Scheduling

Step 2: Energy Scorecard

Rate each tool from 1–5 on:

  • Ease (does it feel natural?)

  • Energy (energize or drain you?)

  • Clarity (easy to understand/use?)

Any tool below a 4 → flagged.

Step 3: Replace or Retool

For flagged tools, ask GPT:

“I use [current tool], but it feels [friction reason]. Recommend alternative tools better aligned for someone who is [your style: visual, writing, fast-paced, collaborative].”

Swap immediately or set a test-week.
