There is also a general database where I keep important notes about work. The filtering is extensive so you can literally only read articles that truly interest you. I can find those articles right off the bat, then scan through the entire feed as time permits. There are similar filters for “Apple Silicon” and “Mac Pro” just to name a couple. For example, I’m amused by “Today in Apple History,” so those articles are filtered into their own folder so I can jump right to them.

Whenever I start a new Jira ticket, I create a new TaskPaper document inside DevonThink Office Pro, then list out all the steps I need to work on. Within there are all the important notes for how that site works, PDF files, requirements documents, spreadsheets of calculations and products, links to important pages, emails, test plans, screenshots and most importantly Jira tickets I’m working on.Īnything and everything related to a project is stored together.
