TOOLS

Productivity in the details

It’s the little things, the smallest adjustments to your workflow that enhance your productivity the most. Think about the way you view your work, structure your tasks, or keep your focus.

There’s always a point of improvement. If there’s a pain point you still haven’t figured out yet, maybe you just haven’t found the right tool to solve it. Hopefully today’s tools can fix your problem or introduce you to some new ways to work.

Here are my latest insanely productivity-inducing finds…

Muse — A canvas that helps you get clarity on things that matter, a calm space for deep thinking. Developing an idea starts with collecting inspiration and stray thoughts, so it helps to put everything on a single canvas: writing, scribbles, notes, images, videos, PDFs, web links. Lay out all the raw materials, then connect the dots.

SnipOwl — It’s like you made a collage of website screenshots, but actually they’re live! Capture a snippet of any website and add it to your dashboard. This is Certified Insanely Cool™ (maybe this should be an actual thing).

Against Data — Clean your inbox forever in under 5 minutes. Unsubscribe, delete hundreds of emails, and exercise your right to be forgotten with one-click. After all, the only email you need in your inbox on a regular basis is from Insanely Cool Tools.

Amazing Marvin — Marvin incorporates principles from behavioral psychology to help you beat procrastination, feel in control and finish your todo list. Your life and brain are unique. Marvin's powerful customization options allow you to find a system that works for you.

Feedboard — Like TweetDeck but for the whole internet. Add multiple feeds and display them in columns for an overview of all your online stuff. Feedboard currently supports Reddit, ProductHunt, HackerNews, Substack, YouTube, Pinterest, RSS feeds, and more.

BeforeSunset — A collection of tools to customize your ideal workspace: an AI ambience generator, pomodoro timer to stay focused, task list that can be broken down into subtasks, note taker, collection lists, analytics, and more. It integrates with all the apps you use for work, planning, and communication like Slack and Google Calendar.

Twodos — A todo list isn’t the usual sort of thing I’d include with all of the other super innovative stuff, but this one matches the way I work so well, I felt like it might benefits others who work the same way. This is a todo list with only two categories: sooner and later. No due dates and no notifications. It respects your focus and your privacy.
