    Let's face it: there are a LOT of productivity tools out there. All for different purposes. (That's also exactly why the solution that my teams and I built combines project, task & documentation management in one platform: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/klever-suite) So, how do you find the perfect balance in choosing the right tool for you and your teams? I would love to hear your insights!

    Stick to the essentials. One for task management, another for comms, and maybe one for time tracking.

    Stick to the essentials and ruthlessly cut the rest—less is more when it comes to tool stacks. I had the same problem before launching my app on ProductHunt.

    Think of productivity tools like ingredients in a recipe. Just as you wouldn't throw every spice in your pantry into one dish, select tools that complement your workflow. Keep it simple, master a few, and savor the productivity they bring. Quality over quantity!

    I think the future of productivity tools in simplicity and automations. I'd rather use simple tools such as Morgen + Todoist and integrate them. And the general answer - automation + integrations help avoiding overload a lot

    A year back I had a phase where I used to constantly get irritated if all my productivity tools are not in line with what I wanted them to be but since then I have changed my approach and I keep my productivity only 'good enough'. Not too messy and not overly organized. I use Notion BTW

    Integration is key. Make sure the tools you pick play nice together to automate tasks and reduce manual work.
