Here are the quotations that has made impact on me for selecting the productivity tools
- Problems created by today’s technology can only be solved by tomorrow’s technology
- If you always need to do something, you should never have to that thing (automation is your friend)
- If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. – Sir Isaac Newton
Here are web-sites that help for specific problem(s):
| Site | Purpose | Why I use it? |
|---|---|---|
| www.nirvanahq.com | Task list, priority management, using time efficiently and effectively | Looks like there are numerous things that pull us in different directions. “Getting things done” is a methodology to keep it under control and this site has the right infrastructure to implement that methodology. |
| www.bitwarden.com | Password manager, multi-device sync | One of the password managers available that has applications for all the places where I need to use password |
| www.authy.com | 2FA authentication | Allows to share same 2FA on multiple devices. I like 2FA separate from password managers (just makes sense to keep the flame and fuel separated) |
| www.notion.so | Reference material collection | Of course you can google things again and again, but if you have found something useful, it is good idea to keep it in accessible form. |
| https://mint.intuit.com/ | Track expenses | It pulls all expenses (from credit cards/banks) and categorize them nicely. You don’t need to check everywhere daily to keep track that nothing is misplaced/stolen. |
| https://raindrop.io/ | Collect useful web-sites and categorize them | It is nice to have all useful sites categorized and saved at the same place. |
