It doesn’t buzz. It doesn’t have a screen. You can’t check email on it. And yet, WHOOP emerged as the most impactful tool in my personal productivity stack over the past year.

Yet today, Eight Sleep is the center of my performance stack—more impactful than apps or supplements ever were.

Yet building rhythms that stick is notoriously hard, especially for knowledge workers juggling unpredictable tasks, digital overload, and mental drain. AI tools are rewriting the rulebook—transforming habit formation into a context-aware, data-guided system that works alongside your brain. In this

Every productivity expert agrees on one principle: if it’s not on your calendar, it doesn’t get done. But what if your calendar could think for you—scheduling tasks around your energy, prioritizing focus, and adjusting plans automatically? That’s the promise of Motion, an AI-powered calendar built not to manage time, but to protect attention. For remote

In a world drowning in distractions, sometimes the most powerful productivity tool isn’t another app or calendar—it’s the right sound. That’s where Brain.fm enters the picture: not as a playlist, but as a piece of neurotechnology. It doesn’t just set the mood. It shifts your mental state. While countless platforms offer lo-fi beats or ambient

We talk a lot about focus, but how often do we actually measure it? In the era of AI-driven productivity, knowing when and where your attention goes isn’t optional—it’s foundational. That’s where RescueTime fits into your performance stack. It’s not just a time tracker. It’s your attention mirror. And in a world where distraction is
