From cold showers to waking up at 4 AM every day — I’ve done it all when it comes to lifehacking and productivity over the last 6 years. My entire life is a productivity experiment.

f光盘冷水淋浴在每天凌晨4点起床-当谈到在过去的6年lifehacking和生产力，我都做到了。 我的一生都是生产力实验。

I’d have to be an idiot (entirely possible) to *not* have learned a few ways by now to get back time, that can help you in your life. I have written thousands of extra blog posts and social media posts thanks to the time these tools below gave me.

我必须是个白痴(完全有可能)，以*现在*还没有*学到一些方法来找回时间，这可以帮助您的生活。 由于下面这些工具给我的时间，我写了数千篇博客和社交媒体文章。

Why do you need an extra hour back in your day? So you can create rather than endlessly consume.

为什么您一天需要多花一个小时？ 因此，您可以创造而不是无休止地消费。

You need time back to create. These productivity tools can help (no secret promotions or commissions, just real talk).

您需要时间来进行创建。 这些生产力工具可以提供帮助(没有秘密促销或佣金，只是真实的谈话)。

Trello应用 (Trello App)

Hello Trello! Changed my life man, seriously.

您好Trello！ 认真地改变了我的人生男人。

A messy mind like mine needs visuals. Trello is the answer to visualizing the daily tasks associated with your goals. When you can clearly see what you have to do in gorgeous colors with deadlines on each task, you can do anything. All the blocks that are tasks have a deadline.

像我这样的思维混乱的人需要视觉效果。 Trello是可视化与目标相关的日常任务的答案。 当您清楚地看到自己必须用华丽的颜色完成每个任务的截止日期时，您可以执行任何操作。 所有作为任务的块都有最后期限。

If the task is not due yet, it has no color. If the task is done it turns a gorgeous green. If you have been lazy, the task turns red.

如果任务尚未到期，则它没有颜色。 如果任务完成，它将变成华丽的绿色。 如果您很懒，任务会变成红色。

Create a Trello board for work and your personal life. It will make a huge difference.

为工作和个人生活创建Trello板。 这将产生巨大的变化。

詹姆斯·克莱尔(James Clear)的时事通讯 (James Clear’s newsletter)

This guy is the ultimate productivity nerd.

这个家伙是终极生产力的书呆子。

Why learn the skills needed to be productive when James can punch you in the face and drop your head in an icy cold bucket of cold water for free each week? I don’t know the guy personally but I worship his productivity hacks. Join his weekly newsletter if you want time back to spend elsewhere.

当James每周免费向您猛击您的头并将头放在冰冷的冷水桶中时，为什么还要学习提高生产效率所需的技能？ 我个人不认识他，但我崇拜他的工作效率。 如果您想抽出时间花在其他地方，请加入他的每周时事通讯 。

苹果笔记应用 (Apple Notes App)

There is so many fancy note-taking apps on the market. They all suck. The Apple Notes app is free and it’s all you need.

市场上有很多花哨的笔记应用程序。 他们都糟透了。 Apple Notes应用程序是免费的，这就是您所需要的。

The functions I use the most are:

我最常使用的功能是：

• Pinned notes固定笔记
• Placing emoji’s in the title of a note to make it stand out将表情符号放在注释标题中以使其突出
• “Scan Document” which captures the text from any photo (like a receipt needed for your tax return)“扫描文档”可捕获任何照片中的文字(例如您的纳税申报单上的收据)
• Titles and headings标题和标题
• Cloud storage that syncs with all my devices (phone, desktop, tablet)与我所有设备(手机，台式机，平板电脑)同步的云存储

The notes app you need has been right under your nose this whole time.

您一直需要的笔记应用一直在您的鼻子底下。

Often the free stuff you overlook is just as good, if not better, than the overpriced paid subscriptions that complicate the heck out of your life.

通常，您忽略的免费内容与使生活复杂化的高价付费订阅一样好，甚至更好。

勇敢的浏览器 (Brave Browser)

I used to be a Chrome man. That was until they started abusing my privacy and spying on me in the shower. Never again. Brave is the answer to privacy.

我曾经是Chrome的人。 直到他们开始滥用我的隐私并在淋浴时监视我。 再也不。 勇敢是隐私的答案。

Brave will make you more productive because it loads quickly, blocks ads, and updates like an automated house cleaner who scrubs your toilet bowl for you when you’re not home. Get it. Bam.

“勇敢”将使您工作效率更高，因为它可以快速加载，阻止广告并进行更新，例如自动清洁剂，可以在您不在家时为您洗手间。 得到它。 am

OneTab浏览器扩展 (OneTab Browser Extension)

Sick of having a million tabs open? Browser crashed and lost all the windows and tabs you had open?

厌倦了打开一百万个标签？ 浏览器崩溃并丢失了您打开的所有窗口和选项卡？

OneTab is the productivity answer. On a single page you can see all of your tabs. It allows you to have one browser window open instead of hundreds (that was Tim Version 1.6 in 2011).

OneTab是生产力的答案。 在单个页面上，您可以看到所有标签。 它使您可以打开一个浏览器窗口，而不是数百个(2011年为Tim版本1.6)。

Minimize the number of windows you have open on your computer to experience the magic of clear thinking once again while you create.

尽量减少在计算机上打开的窗口的数量，以在创建时再次体验清晰思维的魔力。

“Focus on being productive instead of busy” — Tim Ferriss

“专注于生产力而不是忙碌” – Tim Ferriss

iTunes的音乐配乐 (iTunes for music soundtracks)

Before you stab me in the back with a comment, yes I know the product is dead. If there’s a better solution for music then I’m open to it. Let me know.

是的，我知道产品已经失效，然后再在后面用评论刺我。 如果有更好的音乐解决方案，那么我愿意接受。 让我知道。

In the meantime, I use iTunes and still love the old girl. She allows me to listen to movie soundtracks while I attempt to be creative. The user interface is stupidly simple for normies like me.

在此期间，我使用iTunes仍然爱那个老女孩。 当我尝试发挥创造力时，她允许我听电影配乐。 对于像我这样的规范，用户界面非常简单。

Get a music app on your devices and use it to tune out the world, so you can tune into your thoughts.

在您的设备上获取音乐应用程序，然后使用它来调动世界，以便您调入自己的想法。

ConvertKit电子邮件管理 (ConvertKit Email Management)

Whatever you do in life, build an audience. Even if it’s only 100 people, it will change your life.

不论您在生活中做什么，都要建立观众群。 即使只有100个人，它也会改变您的生活。

Sending emails to more than one person at the same time is complicated. That’s where ConvertKit comes in. ConvertKit allows you to create landing pages to collect email addresses respectfully, and email those subscribers with helpful content every so often (weekly is ideal, not daily).

同时向多个人发送电子邮件非常复杂。 那就是ConvertKit的用处。ConvertKit允许您创建登录页面以分别收集电子邮件地址，并每隔一段时间(每周一次，而不是每天一次)向这些订户发送有用的内容。

The magic is being able to run automation so people think you’re sending lots of emails and being clever when it’s really the software doing it for you. It gets better when you start to segment your email subscribers. Some people are okay with daily emails and others will sentence you to death if you email them more than once a week.

神奇的是能够运行自动化，因此人们认为您正在发送大量电子邮件，并且当它真正是由软件来为您做事时会变得聪明。 当您开始对电子邮件订阅者进行细分时，它会变得更好。 有些人每天都可以接受电子邮件，而如果您每周给他们发送多次电子邮件，则其他人会判处您死刑。

ConvertKit allows you to segment people based on their individual interests, behaviors and preferences. Customization leads to personalization.

ConvertKit允许您根据人员的个人兴趣，行为和偏好对其进行细分。 定制导致个性化。

Having an audience can help you do incredible things in life. Why? Because you can’t change the world on your own. If you’ve been wasting hours and hours with complicated email software, then get back loads of time in your day with proper email management.

拥有听众可以帮助您做生活中不可思议的事情。 为什么？ 因为你不能独自改变世界。 如果您一直在使用复杂的电子邮件软件浪费大量时间，那么通过适当的电子邮件管理可以节省一天的时间。

iPad上的Kindle App (Kindle App on iPad)

Part of the reason I’m so productive is because of all the books I’ve read over the years. The Kindle app keeps me productive because it allows me to fire up a book lightning-fast and read it. It lets me highlights sentences too, which I come back to later, and often quote in my blog posts.

我之所以如此高效的部分原因是因为我多年来阅读过的所有书籍。 Kindle应用程序使我的工作效率很高，因为它可以让我快如闪电地读书并阅读。 它也让我突出显示句子，这些句子我稍后会再提到，并且经常在我的博客文章中引用。

Many people underestimate load time and an easy to use app menu. The quicker you can get to the task at hand the quicker you can tap into your creativity and explore your imagination.

许多人低估了加载时间和易于使用的应用程序菜单。 您可以越快地完成手头的任务，就可以越快地利用自己的创造力并发掘您的想象力。

Leaders in their field read. Read to become more productive.

他们所在领域的领导者阅读。 阅读以提高工作效率。

条纹(收款) (Stripe (to get paid))

Okay, I’m a bit of a fanboy with this one. I met the two Stripe Founders in Melbourne a few years ago. That aside, they made getting paid on the internet easy. I use Stripe to get paid from businesses who pay me for various services, strangers who need a coach, people who purchase products from my website, and the platforms who pay me royalties.

好吧，我有点喜欢这个。 几年前，我在墨尔本遇到了两位Stripe Founders。 除此之外，他们使在互联网上付款变得容易。 我使用Stripe从向我支付各种服务的企业，需要教练的陌生人，从我的网站购买产品的人以及向我支付版税的平台获得报酬。

When you want to get paid online, the question that matters is this: does the payment app allow people from as many countries as possible to pay you? If the answer is yes that’s key. The more places people can pay you from, the more income you can earn.

当您想在线获得付款时，重要的问题是：付款应用程序是否允许来自尽可能多的国家的人向您付款？ 如果答案是肯定的 ，那是关键。 人们可以向您付款的地方越多，您可以获得的收入就越多。

Stripe also allows you to split payments. This is important because revenue share is the language of the internet. Partnering with people is far easier than building everything yourself.

条纹还允许您拆分付款。 这很重要，因为收益分成是互联网的语言。 与人合作远比自己建立一切容易得多。

When I sell a digital product online, Stripe allows me to split the payment in realtime with the person I’m working with. This reduces friction, speed to market, and time spent keeping track of who owes who.

当我在线销售数字产品时，Stripe允许我与与之合作的人实时分配付款。 这减少了摩擦，加快了上市速度，并减少了追踪谁欠谁的时间。

Why is getting paid important for productivity? Earning money online helps you stress less, work less, and help others with your money. From this more relaxed state of mind you can buy back time to do work you love.

为什么获得报酬对生产力很重要？ 在线赚钱可帮助您减轻压力，减少工作量并帮助他人赚钱。 从这种放松的心态中，您可以抽出时间做自己喜欢的工作。

Productivity tools are a life-saver. Whether you get inspired by the tools I use or find your own, it doesn’t matter. The point of productivity is to find the time you need to create, so you can feel fulfilled and perhaps discover a meaning for your life.

P roductivity工具是一个生命的救星。 无论您是受到我使用的工具的启发还是找到自己的工具，都没有关系。 生产力的关键是找到创建时间，这样您就可以感到充实，甚至可以发现人生的意义。

Productivity helps you create.Productivity helps you think.Productivity helps you write.Productivity helps you find time to relax.

生产力可以帮助您创造，生产力可以帮助您思考，生产力可以帮助您写作，生产力可以帮助您找到放松的时间。

Use productivity as a weapon against distractions and your forgetful mind, to create the best work of your life.

将生产力用作对抗分心和健忘的武器，以创造生活中最好的工作。
