Start by defining what problem you need to solve, then spend 30 minutes testing a tool against that goal. If it doesn't work or feels clunky, move on. Pick the tool that fits the job, not the fanciest features.

Yes, I would love to give some technology advice, which we'll start with, please don't look into a technology first. Try to understand what you're trying to solve. And that's a very common mistake where people say, okay, I like this tool. It's almost feature gadget driven. And I would like to give a very simple tip, a hint how you start looking for the right tools. If you know what you want, formulate in one sentence, let's say a goal or a definition of success. So you go in 30 minutes, And then you stop it. Even if you're halfway, you're in a flow, stop it. And then look at your goal and see if you achieved it. If you can't do it in 30 minutes, it's probably or not intuitive or not doing the job for you. It's basically again a non-technology advice, but that's how you always can look at technology. They have to do something for you.
