Tools that help me be more productive
SelfControl
SelfControl is a free and open-source application for macOS that lets you block your own access to distracting websites, your mail servers, or anything else on the Internet.
This has been a lifesaver. It’s so much easier to focus once you block out the non-essential. MacOS only.
Tomato 2
Mac app for the Pomodoro Technique. It’s simple, beautiful and feature-packed.
I agree with this description from the Tomato 2 website. This is my app of choice which I use regularly but there’s plenty of Pomodoro apps out there if you don’t have a Mac.
Grammarly
Compose bold, clear, mistake-free writing with Grammarly’s AI-powered writing assistant.
Another app that saves me a lot of time. Whatever I write, Grammarly is my assistant.
