He also uses PDF Expert as a way to sign documents if it's not through an app like DocuSign. It allows him to quickly add his signature to those documents.

Finally, Scott uses an online tool called Workflowy, which he uses more as a legacy, akin to a very efficient filing cabinet for notes that he's taken throughout college, graduate school, and so on, so that he has every single class logged with robust notes. It's more of a huge index with historical information so that he can come back to it at any given time.

Thank you to Scott for coming on and diving into the productivity details he uses to manage his business and freelancing, as well as the tools that he uses alongside Coda.
