Productivity Tools in 2024

Notetaking and Task Management

In my attempt to cut down on subscriptions in 2024, I'll be switching to Microsoft Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot as my go-to AI assistant in helping me churn out more content for my blog and YouTube channel.

I'll be switching to a productivity toolset consisting of Evernote with Kanbanote, Anki, Raindrop.io, and Google Calendar. I want to be more note-focused than ever with data-hungry Large Language Models (LLMs) becoming more of a norm.

I've gone through my personal Apple subscriptions and canceled all of them, these are separate from my shared family subscriptions such as Chaupal, a Punjabi, Bhojpuri, and Haryanvi video streaming service. I've also canceled my MidJourney and ChatGPT subscriptions. I intend on using fewer applications so I can utilize the most of what I have and if I do start using a new subscription service I'll be sure to buy residential Turkish proxies to get the best price whilst keeping my running total of subscriptions to a minimum.

Accordingly, some other subscription services I need to check Turkish pricing for are:

  • ElevanLabs
  • Grammarly
  • Dropbox

To sum up my 2024 productivity stack:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio Code
  • GitHub Copilot
  • Evernote
  • Kanbanote
  • Raindrop.io
  • Google Calendar
