Productivity Tools
Pomodoro timers, checklists, flashcards, whiteboards — focus tools for deep work.
Overview
Productivity is more about removing friction than adding features. The tools in this category are deliberately minimal: a focus timer that doesn't require an account, a checklist that survives refresh, a whiteboard that opens in one click. Build daily routines around them, or grab them when you need a quick anti-distraction nudge.
Common Use Cases
- →Run Pomodoro sessions for focused 25-minute work blocks.
- →Maintain reusable checklists for recurring tasks (packing, deploys).
- →Sketch ideas on a digital whiteboard during brainstorming.
- →Build flashcards to actually retain what you read.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make Pomodoro actually stick?
Start small — one or two pomodoros per day, not eight. Pair with a clear daily 'most important task.' Allow shorter cycles (15-minute) on low-energy days. The technique fails when treated as a strict rule rather than a habit.
Can I share checklists?
Export as markdown or JSON, then send the file. Live shared lists (real-time collaboration) aren't supported — for that, use a dedicated tool like Todoist or Trello.
Do these tools work on mobile?
Yes — every tool is responsive. The Pomodoro timer continues running if you switch tabs; the whiteboard works with touch input; flashcards have a thumb-friendly grading interface.
