It is Monday. Wow, we've hit the 20th issue of this newsletter. That's a lot of weekends spent together! I won't lie—getting here has been a mix of sticking to a plan and just rolling with the punches.

For those of you who don’t know, I own and manage the tech site, KnowTechie. I get a lot of emails. So, I tried out some new tools.

I've been trying out Inbox Zero to get my crazy email situation under control. It's pretty good at sorting things out and making my inbox manageable.

SaneBox was another one I tried, but my inbox almost gave it a run for its money. Might give it another shot because the idea sounds great.

Their trainable AI assistant identifies important emails and automatically organizes the rest to help you stay focused.

And that's just a teaser of what's to come in today's download. Grab your favorite cup of joe, and let's dive in.

.Just a heads up, if you buy something through our links, we may get a small share of the sale. It’s one of the ways I keep the lights on here.

👨‍💻 I’m Learning to Code – Tools Making My Life Easier

I've been getting my feet wet with coding and automation, and it's seriously cool what you can do with the right tools, even without being a pro coder. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • 📹 TaskMagic (Here’s a link for you): If automating tasks with a few clicks sounds good, you'll want to check this out.

  • ⚡️ Bardeen (Here’s a link to their site): It's like a smart assistant that's getting better every day at saving me time.

  • 🔗 Zapier (Check it out here): This one’s like the king of connecting different apps and services. It's a bit pricey but super powerful.

    • 🧩 Active Pieces (Find it here): A new kid on the block that’s making things easier for people like us.

  • 👉 Cursor: An AI-powered coding assistant that helps you write, understand, and debug code faster through natural language.

And I've also been playing with a few new apps from the SetApp collection. Tools like Better Touch Tool, QuitAll, CleanMyMac X and my personal favorite: Typing Mind. I usually find these scouring AppSumo for deals.

SetApp and AppSumo are gold mines for anyone who loves useful software or online services.
