7 apps I use every day to become smarter (install them ASAP):
βœ… Todoist - Task manager (FREE)
todoist.com
This app 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.
πŸ“š Shortform - Book summaries
(5 days FREE with my link)
shortform.com
Shortform makes the world’s best guides to non-fiction books.
Like book summaries on steroids.
I use it to:
- Get content ideas
- Preview books
- Revisit books
🐦 Twemex - Twitter optimization (FREE)
tweethunter.io
Twitter is a goldmine of free information.
If you use it right.
Twemex is the tool I use to sort through the BS and get to those valuable nuggets.
πŸ“˜ Day One - Journaling app (FREE)
dayoneapp.com
The most powerful habit I started last year.
Journaling.
β€’ I'm happier
β€’ My memory has improved
β€’ I'm a better storyteller
β€’ I have more clarity
β€’ I'm more self-aware
Day One made it easy.
πŸ’ͺ Strong - Workout builder/tracker (FREE)
strong.app
The body follows the mindβ€”but the reverse is also true.
Poor physical health is linked to:
- Early brain-aging
- Increased stress levels
- Reduced cognitive function
Strong keeps my workouts on track.
πŸ“ƒ Readwise - Digital information highlights
(60 days FREE with my link)
readwise.io
Ever read a book and 6 months later you've forgotten it completely?
Readwise helps me to actually retain what I read with daily highlights sent to my inbox.
πŸ“ Notion (FREE)
notion.so
Notion feels like a cult sometimes. (haha)
People will literally tell you this app saved their life.
I mainly use it for note-taking.
@thedankoe's 2-Hour Writer course showed me how to optimize it for capturing and distilling ideas.
Keep in mindβ€”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!
