Raise your hands
Here’s a question: How many daily tasks force you to raise your hands above your head? If you responded with anything other than none, then congratulations. You’re probably better than 90% of us. Our daily life is now structured around laptops, phones, and sitting down in general. Rarely when we reach out for something above […]

You only need these 3 tools to be productive (and they are free)
When it comes to productivity, there is an abundance of tools, hacks, processes, and ideas to try next. Everyday, there is a new productivity app out there trying to sell the idea of: You can be productive, if you can just use our tool. But, is this true?

The “agencies of one” storm is coming
Since a long time ago, companies hire agencies for help in design, accounting, social media management… you name it. While this was happening for a long time and is now considered the norm, there’s a new storm that will destroy agencies, especially the small ones. This storm is formed by what I call agencies of […]

Notion is so versatile that you can use it for everything. CRM, website builder, personal note-taking, a combination of all the above, you name it. One thing you can use Notion for too is task management, or your to-do list to keep it simple. But is it a good idea? I personally think that using […]
