7 apps I use every day to be more productive (install them ASAP):

🐦 Twemex - Twitter optimization (FREE)

tweethunter.io/twemex

Twitter is a goldmine.
If you optimize it.

Twemex is the tool I use to sort through the BS and get to the valuable nuggets I want.

👀 StayFocusd - Website blocker (FREE)

stayfocusd.com

Willpower is unreliable.

Having systems in place to remove distraction is a MUST for me.

StayFocusd ensures that I stay on task, and don't spend my day going down YouTube rabbit holes.

✅ Todoist - Task manager (FREE)

todoist.com

Todoist is my second brain.

I use it to:

- Collect ideas
- Manage my schedule
- Remind me about important events

Todoist takes care of the menial tasks, so my actual brain has space to do creative work.

📚 Shortform - Book summaries
(20% OFF with my link)

shortform.com/colby

Shortform makes the world’s best guides to non-fiction books.

Like book summaries on steroids.

Shortform makes it easier to:
- Get content ideas
- Preview books
- Revisit books

📘 Day One - Journaling app (FREE)

dayoneapp.com

The most powerful habit I started last year.

Journaling.

• I'm happier
• My memory has improved
• I'm a better storyteller
• I have more clarity
• I'm more self-aware

Day One makes it easy.

💪 Strong - Workout builder/tracker (FREE)

strong.app

Want results in the gym?

Track your workouts.

Strong has been my favorite workout tracker for years. It's simple to add your own routines and monitor your progress.

📺 YouTube Music - Focus playlists

Ok wait. Hear me out.

I'm a firm believer that the right music/sound can unlock higher levels of focus.

These tell my brain "It's time to work".

A few of my favs:

Keep in mind—apps are never a replacement for the work required to grow.

Find the few that help you to be more effective.

But don't let them become a distraction.

That's a wrap!
