This week we’re doing something a little different: you know we love a good productivity hack, but so do many others! Over the last few months we’ve had the opportunity to speak with several productivity experts to pick their brains about the productivity space, and we want to share their wisdom with you over a series of posts.

Today we have the great pleasure of introducing you to YouTuber and tech enthusiast Francesco D'Alessio!

Briefly explain who you are and how you ended up doing what you do.

What trends in productivity do you see appearing in the next year, 5 years, 10 years?

What is your opinion on the ‘productivity tools’ market? It seems like there is some consolidation happening (e.g. Trello + Atlassian). Is this likely to continue and why?

It seems that the current trend on the market is adding products as features e.g. adding Kanban. Do stand-alone products like Trello all need to be rolled into a platform to survive?

What is your best tip for being productive in the workplace?

Thanks so much for the interview, Francesco! 👋


We were lucky enough to be featured in one of Francesco’s review videos early on (way back in March!). It’s a great first impression review that covers all the bases and is a good resource to have a look at if you want a quick primer to Zenkit.

Want to learn more? Francesco regularly creates great videos and blog articles that cover anything and everything in the productivity space: from meditation and mindfulness tips, to app reviews and masterclasses, there’s something for everyone.
