Relaxed travel planning in 4 columns
"I must have forgotten something" - this was always my biggest concern when travelling.

OneNote goes BulletJournal
During the BarCamp Stuttgart in 2018 I visited a Session about Bullet Journaling and tried it immediately.
This uplifting feeling of getting an overview on my life in long- as well as short term, was simply put amazing.

To debug the files a program wants to access you can use strace on Linux.
