Meet The Tools Behind The Man
I quite enjoy finding niched productivity SaaS platforms and trying them out. In fact, there's a running joke in my friend group that if I'm not trying a single new product between conversations, I need to buy them dinner. Broadly speaking, productivity is based on three things - (a) mindset/intent, (b) workflows (id est, the mental algorithm you use to handle all your tasks) and (c) the workflow enablers or the tools you use. Now obviously (a) and (b) are also important, but maximizing (c) is the key to the puzzle which, if (a) and (b) as maximized can be easily manipulated and won.
