Not necessarily a ‘productivity hack’ in that it neither relates to productivity nor is a hack, but in our latest side project my partner and I have a need to share textual data about the various episodes/lessons that we’re creating.
Of course any number of notes systems allow one to do that, and I have my very own system of organisation that helps [0], but we ended up, at my partner’s suggestion, just saving individual .txt files in the folders containing the episodes.

Nothing new here of course, it’s what we all used to do when it was the only option. But it feels like it’s been so long since I just fired up TextEdit, typed the words, and File-SaveAs’d it in to a folder. It’s weirdly refreshing and works really well.
I noted that it was my partner’s suggestion because she’s been learning Markdown, and as an ex-professional-writer (medical/patient) is overjoyed that she doesn’t have to use Word. When we were looking for a solution she said, well why don’t we just save a file there. So simple that I’d missed it.
