Productivity Hacks
February 3, 2024 by Paras Dalal
Here are the quotations that have made impact on me for selecting the productivity tools:
- “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” – Sir Isaac Newton
- “If you always need to do something, you should never have to do that thing” (automation is your friend)
- “Problems created by today’s technology can only be solved by tomorrow’s technology”
Websites That Help for Specific Problems
| Site | Purpose | Why I Use It |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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 |
| 2fas.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) |
| 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. |
| empower.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. |
| raindrop.io | Collect useful websites and categorize them | It is nice to have all useful sites categorized and saved at the same place. |
| fastenhealth/fasten-onprem | Collect all your medical reports/doctor notes on your local computer | You can get the information about creating local docker container and then get all your medical details locally |
