Thanks for putting words to my experience. Years of trying notions, roam, digital trackers... all to come back to pen and paper. Didn't know about Raycast, they might get a new user thanks to you.
Raycast is great, but it's still half-baked for the workflow you describe. We've built Locu (locu.app) to streamline daily execution for engineers. Give it a try!
Honestly, it looks pretty cool. But please find a new way of getting peoples attention to it rather than telling them their own ideas and ways of working are "half-baked" 😆
Sure, there’s a lot of great work here - both focus and floating notes are exceptionally well done. But the experience still isn’t coherent as a whole. You can’t import Linear tasks into floating notes, and you can’t easily launch focus on those specific tasks from notes. You also don’t get much insight into where your time goes each day.

I found this at the end of last year and it is the best daily planner I've had: https://www.mypareto.co/?srsltid=AfmBOoqiYaGZQWrrNSheEg6y6GW9bnnzI91bPrK9RWHhk4cL88NQBUxb - I have 0 affiliation, just thought you or someone that reads this would find the same joy and clarity I do.
Thanks again!
Yes, Raycast is very very good. I have a load of shortcuts baked in to it, which is its primary function. Definitely check it out :)
That looks really cool - thanks for the share Leo!
Great post! Which "travellers style notebook where I have a dedicated calendar notebook as well as a writing pad" are you using?
Thanks Monica!
I use a Paper Republic Grand Voyageur. I have the 'weekly planner' as well as their 'book refill'.

I didn't say ideas or workflow is half-baked. I said that the raycast is half-baked for the described workflow.
Why jump from app to app when all the great stuff is available in just one of them, Raycast! )

Have you ever thought that this way of ADVERTISING your product is too BAD? :))
And what's "too bad" exactly? I gave honest feedback on gaps in using Raycast for a given workflow.
