Microsoft Planner vs Loop vs Apple Notes. Do these tools help or just give us prettier ways to procrastinate. In this episode we map real faculty workflows, where each tool fits, and how to keep boards, docs, and notes from turning into landfills. We also talk calendar time-blocking, PARA capture, integration with Outlook and Teams, collaborating across firewalls, and when to retire a tool on purpose.

What we cover
• When Planner works best: team tasks, owners, due dates, calendar visibility
• Where Loop shines: context, shared docs, tables of contents, one workspace for a project
• Notes that don’t become a junk drawer: quick capture, PARA, weekly review
• Integration reality at universities: firewalls, enterprise settings, guest access friction
• Rituals that matter: weekly board review, end dates for tools, keeping apps in their lanes
• Building your own tool with AI or Power Apps vs just using what exists
• Red flags of productivity theater and how to stop it
