The text discusses the benefits of simplicity and how it can be an advantage over complexity, citing the example of 1970s tractors that are increasingly popular among farmers due to their simplicity and reliability compared to modern tractors. The author also draws parallels between these tractors and text documents, which have been a reliable and simple way for writing articles for years. The simplicity of text documents allows for control over storage, editing, and formatting, making them a future-proof option that doesn't rely on proprietary cloud services or software. The article concludes by suggesting that the best tool might be one you already have, with some creativity and customization, rather than necessarily using a dedicated app or software. This mindset can be applied to various aspects of life, including productivity systems, journaling, and even buying a tractor.
