Favorite Productivity Tools

Favorite Productivity Tools

If you look up Favorite Productivity Tools online these days, you’ll find thousands of lists of apps that boost your performance and productivity.

I went to the farmer’s market. Did some painting and we took Cooper to see Stand By Me in the movie theater. It was a trip to have practically the whole theater to ourselves. My weekend didn’t leave much time for meal prep, so I am hoping to piece a few things together over the course of the next few days to keep us on track. Speaking of on track, it’s time to write down my Intentions for the Week!
