    Notion was essential for me. Not only did I use it as a project management/to-do app, I actually coded my qualitative research using it.

    I often whip out a sketch in Paint when I think of an illustration and drop it in my Word document, then later draw it out with proper drawing software. But for a quick and dirty reminder, Paint is great.

    Hi Andy,
    I found your channel today actually and it's excellent.
    I do like your recommendations, I found Grammarly useful as well. I had bought a month of premium but didn't renew, what is your opinion, is the premium version worth it?
    Also, I also agree that you need some software for graphics. My uni does provide us with microsoft visio for free, do you think GIMP/Inkscape are more useful for producing graphics?
