The Extreme Efficiencies Thread

[GuestUser4aMPs1]

Using the best tools > Being the best at using your tools

In all endeavors, I'm constantly looking for every little hack, trick, and tool to get an edge. I'm notorious for scouring Product Hunt and Kickstarter for early versions of revolutionary new products, and always try to give a few a spin weekly.

There have been many tools, tricks, and hacks I've picked up over the years. It's a real passion...
They'll make anyone more efficient and effective, regardless of what your background is.

I can't be the only one who's obsessed with this, so use this as a brain dump!

I'll go first...
