These are the content creation tools I use every day to bring my ideas to life:

1. **Notion** - Notion has become my all-time favorite tool. From tracking projects to saving content ideas and resources, to documenting my daily journal. It truly simplifies and streamlines my life

2. **CleanShot X** - For all my screen recording segments in my videos, I consistently utilize CleanShot X for Mac. It's a fantastic tool with many incredible features such as annotations, scrolling capture, and screen recording including we**am capture.

3. **Canva** - When it comes to creating eye-catching thumbnails, I rely on Canva. It has so many great templates and design options to choose from.

4. **Lightroom** - To enhance my photos, I rely on Lightroom Classic and Mobile. They offer an effortless experience for producing high-quality and professional edits. I tried other editing tools, but I always come back.

5. **Premiere Pro** - I use Premiere Pro for my video editing. It provides me with a large set of tools to produce professional videos. I am still discovering new features and learning, so maybe someday my videos look more professional. :)

What tools do you use? Let me know in the comments!

PROTECT YOUR PHOTOS WITH THIS BACKUP PLAN

**In-camera double sd card Backup**
Most cameras have double sd card slots nowayday. This backup system uses both slots to ensure that the photos are safe and secure in two different places. It's a great way to protect your photos and make sure you never lose them during the shoot!

**Export from SD Card on my SAMSUNG SSD**
I manually copy the photos from my SD cards to the "In Progress" folder on my Samsung SSD. This is the first step in my backup system to ensure that my photos are secure.

**Automated Backup of “In Progress” Folder on my G-RAID Drive**
Then this folder is automatically backed up to my G-RAID drive with Carbon Copy Cloner. Everytime my hard drives are connected to my laptop the backup starts. So any changes are always recognized and synchronized.

**Automated Backup of MY Lightroom Catalog to my G-RAID Drive**
Since I had bad experience with the integrated Lightroom backup I create an additional backup to the G-RAID drive everytime when files have been modified in the source (but not more then once in 60 minutes).

**Automated Backup from entire 12TB G-RAID to my 12TB Backup Drive**
Then every week on sunday my entire 12TB G-RAID is backed up to my 12TB Backup drive. It is not an identical G-RAID, but a Western Digital "My Book" drive. Don't need a super fast hard drive when its only for back ups. On the G-RAID I also work and need fast access.

**CLOUD Backup of my “IN PROGRESS” folder**
It is always good to have an additional cloud backup. Me personally I am feeling comfortable to go with having only parts of my work ("In Progress" Folder) backed up to my Google Drive. But a great solution is also Backblaze (unlimited storage for 7$/month).
