I recently published a list of 21 productivity hacks I've picked up over the years, and people loved it and shared it more than I expected.

So, I thought it would be a fun and helpful exercise to make a similar list that's community-sourced and therefore more diverse.

Think about it.

You share a tip or hack you find helpful, and others do too, creating a collective treasure of real-world tips from people of all backgrounds and working styles.

It doesn't matter whether you're a young student, a business owner, a manager or a coach. I know you have one productivity tip that helps you save time or effort, and I'd love to have your suggestion on this new list.

You can submit your tip, system, or hack via this form: Submit your Tip.

You can also include a link to your profile, blog, portfolio, etc., to let the readers learn more about you. Leave it out if you'd rather sign your tip with only your name.

I'll be gathering submissions over this weekend, and format everything into an article next week and share it in the next newsletter issue.

Now, the list needs to be substantial, so I'll wait until I have at least 10 submissions before starting the article.

Don't hold back. Feel free to share what you know. This will be an epic list. 🤩

I can't wait to see what you submit.

In Today's Cover: The Ziro Festival of Music is an annual outdoor music festival in Arunachal Pradesh, India, with participating artists from around the world.

When I first tried Dia, it was a minimal browser built primarily around AI browsing features. However, it’s a much better experience now.
