great episode, currently I use notion for a few projects as a knowledge repository, but haven't had the time to learn it in depth. I'll give it a try and use it more often after what you mentioned of using it to organize your weekly tasks and keep on track!
Really a wonderful list of hardware and software. Great session. I don't use a lot in the mentioned but have seen them as many of my friends use them. The things I have used or currently using are (from the above list) are Visual Studio Code, Java, Zoom, Sketch, Notes, and definitely a big YES to Windows7
Great episode... I used some tools mentioned here...like Notion, Alfred & Spectacle
Was nice episode. I use gtimelog + task warrior
geat show! whats the song at the end starting at ~41:20?
Alfred(+powerpack) is best investment I have made so far in macOS apps. You get free workflow store with alfred, for numerous productivity tools packal.org/ .
I LOVE Rectangle (rectangleapp.com/) - super Mac window management app!
Would love for you to try Paletter - it helps you create entire palettes from a single color. DM @msavin for a voucher :D
What's is the best gif recording tool for windows? I use LICEcap but I found here CloudApp.
Can we please get the typo and link fixed for excalidraw.
