The mental shift after removing 5 apps

Yesterday I started a simple experiment:

Replace 5 apps with one system.

Today is Day 2.

No switching.
No going back.

What I didn’t expect:
The biggest change is not productivity.

It’s mental clarity.

Before:
Constant context switching.
Tasks in one app.
Notes in another.
Reminders somewhere else.

Now:
Everything lives in one place.

It feels quieter.

I’m not faster yet.
But I’m more focused.

Curious to see what breaks first.

If you're juggling multiple apps:
what’s the hardest part for you?
