I don't think you can call it a free plugin if you have to provide data, sign up for an account, or do a zero price checkout process...

At the start of my PhD programme I was given a couple hundred business cards. I probably gave out two of them at conferences etc. over time.

They are now woefully out of date, since I'm no longer a candidate but a fully-fledged doc.

They do make pretty good bookmarks though.

I've been spinning my wheels after a few setbacks, but a thing I've done recently is create themed days to stop choice paralysis about what I should be working on.

Admin Mondays!
Development Tuesdays!
Etc.

It has really helped (so far) in moving forward post-PhD.
