I've seen a lot of these popping up around the tech space and find them very interesting to see what tools and apps are peoples go-to for various every day things. Apparently there are [over 500 posts](https://defaults.rknight.me/) and counting! Here's mine right now:
- 📨 Mail Client - Proton Mail
- 📮 Mail Server - [Proton Mail](https://pr.tn/ref/MNB13JYX)
- 📝 Notes - Notes.app
- ✅ To-Do - Notes.app
- 📷 Phone Photo Shooting - Camera.app
- 🟦 Photo Management - Photos.app
- 📆 Calendar - Calendar.app
- 📁 Cloud File Storage - None
- 📖 RSS - [FreshRSS](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS)
- 🙍🏻‍♂️ Contacts - Contacts.app

Apparently I dump a lot of stuff in the Notes app on my phone. It's the closest thing to hand and has almost zero barrier to entry. Also I know where all my stuff is then.
I should probably find better ways of organising things, but you know what they say - the best system is the one that works for you.
