A Study of Small Tools for Everyday Work

Small tools can remove friction from study and project work. I compare them by looking at the task, the time saved, and the information they ask me to share.

Start with the task

Before trying a new tool, I describe the problem in one sentence and decide what a useful result would look like. That makes it easier to tell whether the tool helps.

Share what I learn

A short note with the setup, a few examples, and the limits I found is more helpful than a list of features. It gives classmates enough context to decide whether to try it.
