![]() ![]() Todometer is a meter-based to-do list for your desktop. This is a shameless plug, but I use todometer for task management, and. My only complaint with this one is that it only works with Google Calendar so far (and I've been wanting to move away from Google for various things), but it's not the end of the world. They were bought by Notion recently, so I think we can expect some interesting integrations from them soon. It lets you quickly use keyboard commands to see your teammate's calendars, share availability, view multiple timezones, and create events. I've tried a bunch of calendar and scheduling apps over the years, and Cron is my current favorite. It also lets you save permanent copies of your bookmarks (so if something goes offline, you still have access to it, I've saved some of my favorite blog posts this way), does a full text search of the pages you save, and annotate web pages, too.Ĭron is a keyboard shortcut-powered calendar app. It lets you do public bookmark collections, so for example if you head over to n/ref, that's a public collection of my referral links to various services. It works as a browser extension, as a mobile app, and as a desktop app on all the platforms, and lets you very easily and quickly tag and categorize your bookmarks. It's one of those apps where I used the free version for about 5 minutes before deciding to pay for it forever, because it works perfectly. ![]() Raindrop is an all-in-one bookmark manager. I made a group in it if you'd ever like to flow with me! Other groups in there include students, web developers, special interest groups, and you can make private groups with your friends as well. It also has an optional thing where you can have your camera on while you work, which is weirdly good at keeping you feeling focused. It'll play some music designed to help you focus, and it has a coach that speaks to you about how much time is left in your current task, gives you breaks, and pokes you when you're distracted. You plop in your to-do list for the day/session/whatever, each task has a certain amount of time assigned to it, and then you hit start. It's kind of hard to explain quickly, because it does so much while being pretty simple, too. I often have trouble focusing throughout the day when I have a lot to do, and Centered helps a ton with that.Ĭentered is a flow state to-do app. I was a little slow to get into it at first, I had to give it a second chance, but now I can't imagine getting all that I want done without it. ![]() When I use Centered, I get more work done, simply put. I often jot down quick notes on my phone, and then I access them later on my computer to flesh them out, and it's perfect for that. Beyond that, they have an open plugin + theming setup, and you can pay for syncing across devices as well. I love that I can keep everything local to my machine (so I don't have any slow load times), and just write markdown without anything getting in my way. I take notes with Obsidian, write my newsletter with Obsidian, write blogs with Obsidian (like this one), keep track of projects with Obsidian, plan classes with Obsidian. There might be better options out there for one machine over the other, but that's not my jam. I use both a PC and a Mac, so that's important to me. This is just a list of the tools I use daily to get my tasks done! Also, all of them work across operating systems. I wrote about this last year and realized that I both didn't include everything I wanted to, and also had more to add, so let's dive in!Īlso: This post will not cover my code editor(s), terminals, or other developer tools. ![]() I often get asked what my favorite tools are and how I use them to get my work done, and I'm writing this both to answer that question, and also for me to just paste a link to this post next time I'm asked. ![]()
