Stuff We're Loving
Each month we'll be sharing some of the things that are currently making our lives easier. This month we've got a task management app, a smart display, and affordable noise-cancelling headphones...

Task Management App

We’ve used so many task management systems we can’t even begin to keep count of them all. ClickUp is hands down our favorite of them all. In addition to organizing all of your tasks into easy to manage spaces, folders, and lists, you can customize nearly every aspect and drag your tasks onto your calendar for the day to fully visualize your schedule (it even features two way syncing)!

Alexa Smart Display

Everyone needs a personal assistant these days. Someone to help you stay on top of everything, remind you where you need to be and when, and what you’re supposed to be focusing on. The Echo Show is the perfect gadget to serve as a family dashboard, visual alarm clock, and reminder system all in one. Of course, there’s much more you can do with it too (like smart home routines)!

Soundcore by Anker

Maintain your focus with hybrid active noise cancellation. Dual noise-detecting microphones pick up and filter out up to 95% of low-frequency ambient sound to ensure nothing distracts you from your music.

Customize noise cancellation with 3 modes:

  • Transport minimizes airplane engine noise
  • Outdoor reduces traffic and wind
  • Indoor dampens the sound of busy rooms with people talking in the background

Play up to 40 hours of music in noise cancelling mode. Standard mode extends the playtime to 60 hours, while a short 5-minute charge gives you 4 hours of listening.

Ultra-soft protein leather earcups with memory foam padding to fit snugly over your ears. The lightweight build also ensures they’re comfortable for long listening sessions.
