Yeah, I'm a big fan of using work productivity tools for personal stuff too. I personally use Notion and Monday.com lately.

When did this happen? And how much $$$?

How do you use airtable? I keep coming across it in comments but would like to hear some personal use cases.

#14There's ample evidence this makes you more organized. I haven't seen any yet that it makes you happier.
I’ll go a step farther and point out that it’s troubling that we feel like we need these sorts of tools to survive at home today. It seems to be a symptom of an ever increasing level of complexity in every facet of modern life.
This is an area that should have been discussed or mentioned in the article.

#16> As per our earlier conversation, we have decided that the children will be enrolled in tennis camp over the summer. Please let me know if you want to follow up on this.
I cannot even imagine what it would be like being a teenager under that. Your two choices are either do everything you can to win your parents' approval, or run away at 16.

#17"american home"? even in terms of content of article, it is clear this is confined to a very small section of society. even that is purely based on anecdotal claims. almost no valid evidence, but broad nation wide conclusion.
The America that they know is almost entirely upper upper middle class and coastal.

Why is it troubling?
When I was a kid my family used post-it notes on the refrigerator to organize and communicate, and a big paper calendar for scheduling.
This just seems like a more convenient way to do the same.

The "tiger mom" phenomenon was every bit as much in force, as far as I know, during my time in high school during the early to mid aughts.
Honestly, if you're going to be so overly organized (which some people are) this at least sounds like a better way to do it. Might as well have your calendar online and your messages in one place so everyone knows what's going on.
