Resources

This page links some of my recommended resources.

Some are free, some are paid.^[1]

These are all things I have personally used or implemented for clients and decided "hey, that's pretty cool, I should tell others about that".

If you have your own resources that you like, send me a message and I'll take a look.

Personal Apps

• Notion for task management and personal project management. It also now handles my journals, personal processes, documents, records etc. I switched from separate PKM apps because I was excited about Notion AI, but found out it wasn't all that great. What is great though is using Notion MCP and Claude to access my Notion setup and provide personalised coaching.
• Audiopen for voice notes. This is the best quick capture tool on the market today — hit record, talk as much as you like, and Audiopen will transcribe and AI-summarise your recording into a succinct note, and even Zap it straight to Things or anywhere else you want.
• Mimestream for email. I've used this since the beta version and it's great. Only works with Google email accounts and provides access to keyboard shortcuts, multi-account access, a unified inbox and more.
• CapCut for recording screen tutorials and video editing.
• SetApp is a monthly subscription of applications that is invaluable for anyone who uses a Mac. I'll have an article on this at some point, but some of my favourites right now include Path Finder, BusyCal, Ulysses, Rocket Typist, Default Folder X and Bartender.
• Sublime Text for general text note.

Business Apps and Systems

I also have a complete guide to the essential apps for modern businesses.

• Claude for generative AI. ChatGPT is not bad, but I've found that I tend to use it more like I used to use Google Search.
• Google AI Studio and the various image models in there for image generation.
• High Level for email marketing, marketing automation and a fully functional CRM. They also provide managed Wordpress hosting services. This site and my newsletter are hosted with them. A good standalone hosting alternative is WP Engine.
• WP Rocket for speeding up Wordpress in the background.
• Amazon Web Services for basically everything else. You can host domains, files, route DNS, easily deploy/scale web apps and more. Google Cloud is a strong competitor.
• Google Drive for cloud storage. I used to recommend Dropbox but Google Drive outpaces in terms of value for money.
• Google Workspace (formerly Google Apps and GSuite) for your office apps and video conferencing via Google Meet.
• Notion as a knowledge/systems management system and company wiki. It acts as your internal wiki where all your SOPs and more can go. It took me a while to switch over from the more traditional Confluence setup but Notion's feature set including Notion AI has pulled it far ahead of its competitors.
• Asana for project management. Great for teams that don't have their workflow built into a CRM or for non-technical teams that don't need something as complex as Jira.
• Slack for team communications, mastermind groups, client groups and more.
• Zoom for video conferencing and calls.
• Canva for graphics. Paid accounts are (still) inexpensive for teams and you get access to a web-first graphics app, collaboration options, stock photos and more. I haven't had a need for any Adobe or Affinity software since.
• Zapier and N8N for workflow automation.
• Sublime Text for text editing.
• Visual Studio Code (or its spinoff, Cursor) for coding and development.
• Claude Code for CLI-based AI.
