Favorite Things

Whether you want to set good goals, make cozy office space, or find tech that helps you focus, having the right stuff can bring great joy. Below are some items in my office that help me work effectively and enjoy my space.

Powersheets

The PowerSheet workbook from Cultivate What Matters has been a staple for me for over six years. It's beautifully designed, well-made, and thoughtfully written. The Cultivate What Matters team has a ton of free resources and some other excellent products as well, so check them out if you're looking for a guided journal to hit those goals.

Do Work Journal

This notebook from Baronfig is a guided journal to help you focus on 12-week goals. Its thoughtful and clean design makes it a joy to use, and the paper quality is incredible. While it's great for your desk at work, it is also an excellent choice for content creation, project management, or fitness goals. Baronfig has a beautiful collection of guided journals.

Finisher's Secrets

This journal is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs hit their goals in 13 weeks. It’s full of reflection prompts and guided journaling pages to help you identify and hit your goals. Their website and newsletter are full of value to help you along the way and motivate you to hit the next level in your industry. If you like the 12-week year, check this one out.

She Reads Truth

I love their bible study books, they are beautifully designed but simple enough to keep the focus on the Word. They have free options through their app as well.

Right Now Media

A massive video library of Bible Studies, check if your church offers a free account - if not, email me and I'll send you an invite to join for free and access the content.

Logos App

For church staff or study leaders, Logos is a software that allows you to access books, commentaries, translations and resources that can help you dive into the Bible in new ways.

The Pour Over

The best politically neutral, Christ-first, news source as an email newsletter. The biggest news of the day, summarized in a way you'll actually understand and enjoy, paired with brief Christian perspectives.

Dwell

Listen to the Bible in a new way with soft background sounds, various voices and translations and with commentary. Meditate on the Bible and listen to scripture as you go to sleep or go about your daily life.

Shop the rest

My favorite Bibles, pens that won't bleed through and sticky notes to make extra room are in one easy list. Shop the storefront to get ideas on how you can spend more time in your Bible studies.

Apps for Productivity

Finding the proper app to fit into your workflow can be challenging. The first step is to compare some apps and identify the most essential features for your daily life. While some apps work as an all-in-one planning system, I’ve found it best to split apps into a few different categories and use the app that best fits your needs: Planning (calendar & tasks), Notes, and Boosts.

Raycast

A launcher app on steroids. It lets you open apps, calculate, share links, access clipboard history, and make almost everything you do, faster. It's hard to explain how helpful it is without trying it. For PC users, try Key Pirinha as an alternative.

CleanShot X

Screen capture, recording, scrolling capture, editing, and customization for every screenshot setting you could want. If you ever share photos of your screen, this app makes it easier and faster to do so. For PC users, try ShareX as an alternative.

Tella

A screen recorder, content creation tool, and editor rolled into one. I use this app to create tutorials, make how-to videos, and create short-form content for TikTok and Instagram; it's affordable and the best tool on the market, in my opinion.

Arc Browser

Arc is built on Chromium, so all your bookmarks, extensions, and apps will still work, but this browser is built for humans and is incredibly designed. It’s free and you need to try it.

Dropzone

Move, copy, share, shrink, airdrop, upload, and shorten images, URLs, and files with one icon on your menu bar. It's the easiest and fastest way to edit and manage files.

Setapp

Many of the apps here are available on the Setapp. It's a $10/mo subscription service that gives you access to over 100 apps and tools, including Dropzone, Cleanshot X, Craft, & more.

Superhuman

An expensive ($30/mo) but elite email manager. I wrote an entire blog post about why I love it and how it’s different from other apps you’ve used before. If you spend more than an hour daily on email, it's well worth the investment.

Clay

The relationship manager built to be simple to manage. Regular CRMs are too complex and clunky for personal contacts, but a simple contact app doesn't pull in data from other sources. Clay is the best of both worlds.

ToDoist

A simple task manager that uses natural language and works on all devices. This integrates to MANY other apps (including some on this list) and is a great start if you're new to digital planning.

Sunsama

A task manager and a daily planner that connects to Jira, Asana, Click Up, Notion, ToDoist, email, calendar, and other apps to help you plan your day with a view of ALL your life in one beautiful dashboard. I highly recommend this.

TickTick

TickTick works across ALL devices and within email platforms (yes, even an apple watch). It integrates with Siri and has a super simple and clean interface. It's extremely customizable with habit, time, and task-tracking features. If you want an all-in-one, this is it.

Notion Cal

An app that allows you to connect all your calendars into one native app. It's built for collaboration, making it super quick and easy to start and enter meetings, and is available for scheduling. It's the only calendar app I use now, and I love it.

Notion

It's probably the most popular note app and incredibly flexible. There are many videos, templates, and resources to help you learn to use it. However, it can be a bit too feature-heavy and distracting for some. I use it for projects, notes, tasks, and even this website.

Reflect

If you like Obsidian but want something a little cleaner and simple, this is it. It has web, desktop and phone apps available. With features like calendar integration, voice transcriptions & instant capture, reflect is just a joy to use.

Obsidian

Obsidian is for you if you don't want your files on some server somewhere. It is equally as flexible as a notion, but it does has a bit more of a learning curve. This is perfect if you value privacy and have a basic understanding of coding. It's a great option for a digital journal as well.

Mem

If you primarily use notes for meetings and work, Mem.ai is a great choice. Notes can be easily searched, shared, and generated based on calendar events. AI helps you find what you need after the "mem" is made, so no need to waste time organizing docs.
