Keep Productive

Happy Monday! If you haven’t checked out our newest newsletter, Maker Stacks, now is the time. This week, we are interviewing productivity YouTuber and maker Francesco D'Alessio on the tools that made it into his stack. 

Here’s some news: 

🤖 SoftBank’s CEO is seeking funding for a new AI chip venture.

🌉 San Francisco is so back — according to this WSJ article.

📱 Xiaomi is teasing a new flagship phone with a big camera.

Monday is the most productive day of the week (according to a Robert Half survey) and for most of you, productivity starts to drop off as the week goes on. 

Well, it’s a new Monday, and that means it's a new opportunity for you to start ticking off those 2024 goals, whether it's launching a new product, hitting that North Star MRR metric, or finally finishing that new portfolio design. Crossing the finish line is a rewarding feeling, but it's easier said than done. 

Consistency is key, so here are some tools built by makers that should help you stay productive no matter the day: 

Undesk is a virtual office space for remote teams. You can hang out with and work with your coworkers virtually while tracking your daily productivity levels and seeing where and when you can improve.

Heyday is an AI copilot for your research, notes, and conversations. It turns the information you take in on a daily basis into actionable insights that can then help you conquer writer's block, make product decisions, and even strategize projects.

FlowNote aims to be a note-taking tool that works for you. You can create an infinite number of nested pages and organize your notes based on tags, links, and search queries. 

Amieis an all-in-one productivity app that combines a calendar, email, and integrations into an intuitive, and often fun design so you don’t have to constantly context switch.

Superlist is built by the founder of Wunderlist. It combines notes, task management, and lists into one productivity app that you and your team can use to collaborate on different projects.

So there you have it, some maker-built tools that can help you keep productive, be accountable, and most importantly, smash your goals every day of the week.
