I like organizing tasks visually and heavily rely on block scheduling, which lets me set dedicated focus times throughout the day. I used to use Google Calendar for that, but I like the idea of limiting apps I use so I switched my personal planning to Planyway as the whole team works there. I just have a personal board for only my tasks not related to work directly.

No tool!

Focus on doing one strategic and important thing, and handling important and urgent immediately. Then saying no to the rest.

We use minite. It's a Voice AI-supported project management app, with a personalized AI companion at the core.

We built the app to support our VA teams, and it's been a great tool for our leadership team too.

We're actually so happy with it that we'll be formally releasing it to the public as a SaaS offering. Launching on here in a few days.

For me, using a digital planner like Trello or Asana really boosts my productivity. I find that breaking down my tasks into smaller, manageable steps and visually organizing them on boards helps keep me focused and motivated. Plus, these tools allow me to set deadlines and reminders, which is super helpful for staying on track throughout the week. What about you? Do you have any favorite tools or methods for planning your week?

Using Scrum sprints is a great way for me to boost my productivity because it allows me to concentrate on the most critical and urgent tasks, like my Product Hunt launch and PR for an upcoming exhibition, in short, focused bursts of energy.

I've found that a well-crafted to-do list can be both grounding and motivating, especially when multiple projects are in play. Keeping tasks organized but flexible allows us to respond to changing priorities while staying on track.
