Tools I Use

Tools matter, but they are not the goal.

The goal is building systems that support creative work without draining energy. The tools listed here are simply the ones currently on the workbench.

Some are quiet infrastructure.
Some are creative partners.
Some help organize the entire garden library.

Over time I test tools in real projects and record what I learn here.

Section 1 — Thinking & Writing Tools

These tools help explore ideas, draft content, and refine thinking.

    • ChatGPT
    • Claude
    • Gemini
    • Google Docs
    • Microsoft Word

AI tools act as thinking partners during drafting and experimentation, while traditional editors like Google Docs and Word remain the place where ideas settle into finished form.

Section 2 — Website & Publishing

These tools run the Quiet Selling website.

    • WordPress
    • Divi 5
    • Hostinger

This site runs on WordPress with Divi as the design framework and Hostinger as the hosting platform.

Section 3 — Creative Production

Canva

Section 4 — Organization & Systems

Ideas, projects, and experiments need structure. These tools form the backbone of the organizational system behind Quiet Selling.

  • Daily Use
    • Airtable
    • Excel
    • Google Sheets
    • Google Keep 
    • Evernote
  • Coding and Special Projects
    • Python
    • VSCode
    • Claude Code

Section 5 — Communication & Community

Even introverts like me crave community.  Here are tools I use to stay up to date and in touch.

    • Gmail
    • Newsletters
    • Aweber

 Today's communication flood can be hard to manaage, making the tool seem more like an enemy than an ally.  I'm still working on both systems and discipline with these tools.
