Hot take: I ditched clickup for a plain text file and my stress dropped 40% in two weeks

I used to manage my whole workday with clickup. Boards, tags, due dates, the whole mess. Honestly I spent more time organizing the tool than actually doing work. Two weeks ago I just opened a .txt file and started typing bullet points. No colors no notifications no bloat. It sounds dumb but I feel way less overwhelmed. Has anyone else gone backwards like this and actually liked it better?

The brain craves frictionless thinking, not fancy interfaces.

32% of people still prefer paper notebooks for deep work. That friction of pen on paper actually helps you slow down and think better. Maybe friction is the point sometimes.
