Hey, did you notice a theme here?
I used the word EASY way too many times!
All the tools I share really have the same purpose - to make your life simpler, so you can get back to doing the fun stuff.
So if there is a task that's dragging you down, just ask:
"How can this be easy?"
Because there usually is another way.
So stay open to learning and embrace new ideas.
And when you find a tool you love, please don't keep it to yourself!
