7 Must-Try Productivity Hacks You’ve Never Heard Of
These Tools Will Change the Way You Work (For Real!)
Most people know about big-name productivity tools like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace. You might even use Trello or Slack.
But guess what?
There are some awesome tools out there that don’t get enough attention. These tools can help you save time, stay organized, and make your workday way less stressful.
I’ve tried a lot of apps and gadgets over the years, and these hidden gems have really stood out. Let’s check them out!
1. Notion
Notion might not be a secret anymore, but some people still haven’t tried it. It’s like an all-in-one tool for staying organized. You can use it for keeping track of projects, writing notes, or even creating a personal website.
The best part? You can customize it however you want. Need a to-do list? Done. Want a place to organize ideas? Easy. When I first tried Notion, I replaced three other apps with it. Talk about a win!
2. Toggl Track
Do you ever wonder where all your time goes? Toggl Track can help. It’s a simple app that tracks your time. Just hit “start” when you begin a task and “stop” when you’re done.
When I started using Toggl, I found out I was spending way too much time on emails. Once I knew that, I set limits and got back hours in my day. It’s super handy if you want to work smarter or need to track time for a job.
3. Obsidian
If you take a lot of notes and lose track of them, Obsidian is a lifesaver. It’s a note app that lets you connect ideas together like a personal map.
For example, if you’re working on a project and jotting down ideas, you can link those notes together. Before you know it, you’ve got a clear plan laid out. It’s perfect for anyone who’s ever said, “Where did I put that note?”
4. Sunsama
Sunsama is like having a super-organized friend to help plan your day. It pulls tasks from your email, Trello, or other apps and helps you focus on what’s most important.
