Quite often we find ourselves in a situation where we have accomplished literally nothing all day, even though we seemed to have worked hard.
If you've been in similar situations, in this article I'd like to share 9 open-source solutions that will help you increase your productivity by 100%.
Well, let's get started! ποΈ
