Let's face it, productivity p*rn is everywhere. Articles promising 10 Life Hacks to Conquer Your To-Do List and The Minimalist Guide to Inbox Zero fill our feeds, only to leave us feeling overwhelmed and, well, unproductive. But what if there was a better way?Â
In 2024 we’re beginning to challenge the notion of constant busyness (ty, Cal Newport). People like Cal are advocating for a more mindful approach to work, emphasizing focus, intentionality, and the right tools that free up your time and work to actually move your life forward, not offer a fun way to procrastinate.
Sometimes it can be hard not to use tools to procrastinate and put off the real important work, but there are tools out there that can help you achieve this. They might be fun, but they can be meaningful, too.Â
We've curated a tech stack designed not just to tick boxes, but to empower you to work smarter, not harder. Imagine a world where automation frees you from life's admin shackles, intelligent scheduling maximizes your focus time, and powerful collaboration tools bring your A-game to every project. It's not a stones throw away if you want it.
