The Productivity Tool You Love to Hate (but Can't Quit)
We all have that one productivity tool that's frustrating, overly complicated, or just clunky. But for some inexplicable reason, we can't live without it. Maybe it's because your team is hooked, or maybe it just gets the job done despite the friction.
What's the one tool you secretly dread using but keep coming back to anyway? And more importantly: what's keeping you loyal despite the love/hate relationship?

Slack. Great for fast comms, but also the #1 reason I feel distracted all day. I dread opening it in the morning — but there’s no way around it with a remote team.
@tomina_veronika Lol, Slack is the ultimate frenemy of productivity. Love the dopamine hits, hate the constant interruptions. Have you tried any Slack survival strategies, like strict notification silencing or batching your replies? Or have you, like myself, just accepted your fate?
