👋 I’m Saaniya Chugh, and in this interview, I share my journey as a Senior Technical Consultant, tech author, and HackerNoon contributor, what sparked my love for writing, and how I blend ITSM, AI, and storytelling in my work.

After raising $1.35M and later exiting my startup, I realized that complex tools like Notion often fail when real-life chaos hits. During a "perfect storm" of relocation, business pivots, and divorce, I ditched the dashboards for a single, infinite-scroll Google Doc. This "Anti-Notion" system uses simple color-coding and daily pruning to provide something a calendar can't: a tangible, psychological record of resilience.

Postcodes After a pretty practical previous post about records and collections, this post is less likely to give anyone ideas about how they might tackle a problem in their own project, and doesn’t have any feature requests for Microsoft either.
