Do 'productivity hacks' really help you get stuff done?

from Too Embarrassed to Ask Hosted by Recode

The Verge's Dieter Bohn talks with Recode's Kara Swisher and The Verge's Lauren Goode about apps, services and tricks that can make you more productive. Bohn says he swears by a virtual assistant application called Alfred, but the trio also discusses the value of tools like Simplenote and Slack, which everyone can use. It's also important to consider what not to use: Do you need to have all your calendars in one application? And do you really need to be on Twitter right now? Later in the show, they share productivity hacks from our readers and listeners, including the classic one: "Turn it all off and get a good night's sleep."
