Cool tools really work.
A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.

Technologist and Podcaster living in Memphis, TN. Always looking to make the best of the next opportunity and a really hot cup of coffee. Tunes:Uncovered is my podcast about songs you probably have not heard but should! — Mark White
Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD USB Audio Interface — Most of my podcasts are remote, this unit makes it easy to still have channel specific control but it's small, lightweight and needs no external power.
SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet — breakfast gets more important as we age, this frying pan absolutely will not stick to anything you throw in it. Excellent for eggs.
DIGITAL
Spotify — whether it's listening to podcasts while cleaning the workshop or background music it's hard to beat Spotify's breadth of shows, songs, and music.
Structured App — Multiple daily reminders of the things a busy person will forget to do. Drink more water, spend 30 minutes on a side project for 30 days, etc.

If you want to be productive, wake up early. If you want to be creative, stay up late.
Not sure who said this but it's true, at least for me.
