If you’re like us, you might’ve spent countless hours searching for the perfect tool, naming and labelling lists. You might’ve had one good day of organizing your inbox and tasks, only to have it all become a mess again the next day.

The right tools can solve this problem. Whether you need guidance in the way of structuring your time, effort and energy, or you’re looking for tools that mould to the way you like to get things done, we guarantee you that tool exists. We’ve curated a stack of our favorite tools that can do either or both. So you can do less, but better.
