4. David Seah's Productivity Printables (Web): For Every Productivity Need

Each printable is accompanied by a short writeup, where Seah explains the thought process behind the productivity technique and how to use it effectively. Since he has tried each of these himself, there are personal experiences you can learn from, and not just descriptions.

You're in the middle of cooking up a storm. You reach for the cornstarch and suddenly realize it's all over. What do you do now? If you had one of these printables on your kitchen walls, drawers, or the fridge, you'd know exactly what to do. Just substitute it with twice the amount of all-purpose flour.

Do You Still Print Things Regularly?

It's surprising how little the printer gets used in most houses these days. As almost everyone accepts electronics bookings or even showing tickets on mobile screens, the need to print things on paper is reducing.

How regularly do you still print items? When it comes to being productive, do you prefer printed paper or do you rely more on digital tools?
