  • Our Top 10 Mac and Windows Productivity Apps And The “10X Rule” (TPS247)

In today’s episode, we are going to get super-tactical. A question we get asked all the time is “what are your favorite apps?”, or “what is the best app for X?”

While we believe that the best app is the one that is best for YOU, there are some that prove themselves time and time again. Today we’re going to start a 3-part series going through our favorite apps, devices, and tools that make us more productive or just plain improve our lives — and we’ll start in this episode with our top 10 apps for the computer.
