Mod Kitchen Timer The simplest productivity hack that changed my life. I just twist this basic timer for 10 minutes whenever I start a task. If I need more time → I twist again. The physical reminder of passing time keeps me from doomscrolling.https://amzn.to/4eEPesg
5
Infinity CubeEver since I can remember, I had to keep my fingers busy to focus. This cube is perfect because you can do satisfying flips with one hand while keeping your other hand on the mouse.https://amzn.to/4g1SyPv
6
Samsung Galaxy Z-Flip 6After 12 years with iPhones, I ‘flipped’ to this phone and my life can be split into before vs after. I found myself checking notifications on the outer screen only, thus NEVER wasting time on apps I never intended. Only when I have more time or want to do serious work - I open up the phone. The productivity gains are worth every penny.https://amzn.to/4fERiSC
7
MacBook Air 15” (2024)I hesitated to include this because it might seem too obvious, but this is genuinely the machine where all the magic happens — and it’s on sale today. Supports 100+ open tabs on Chrome simultaneously (which is all I need in life).https://amzn.to/4fUIbNd
8
Minix Neo P3 100W ChargerOne of my weird house rules: every place where my butt can sit must have a charging brick nearby. One near my desk, one by the living room sofa, one at my bedside. Now I never interrupt my flow because of a dying laptop. It’s powerful enough for MacBooks and has extra ports for phones/tablets. Includes adapters for EU & UK.https://amzn.to/3UXwMEs
9
Logitech MX Mechanical MiniMy first mechanical keyboard. Perfect if you want to be writing more online. 90% of this newsletter was written on it. The clicky sound is soooo satisfying. Zero setup is needed and it’s available in both black and white.

11
Fluidstance Balance BoardStanding desk accessory that keeps me moving subtly while working. Great for staying energized during long creative sessions. Cheaper options are available too.https://amzn.to/41hMtub
12
Meta Smart GlassesMy favorite item on this list. They look like normal glasses but secretly beam sound to your ears. I now listen to 3x more audiobooks and podcasts than before. Perfect for the office - I can listen while looking fully present (no visible headphones). Plus, living in NYC, I can quickly capture crazy street moments without pulling out my phone.https://amzn.to/415lemq
13
Audible UnlimitedI use this more than Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video combined. With unlimited audiobook access, I freely switch books if one isn't clicking after a few chapters. Perfect pair to the Meta glasses above. This special link lets you try unlimited for $0.00.https://amzn.to/3Zjt4qY
14

22
Under Cabinet Motion Sensor LightsThis is a must-have in any house. These battery-powered strip lights automatically illuminate when they detect movement.

23
Cheerble Interactive Cat BallIf you have a cat, this $30 toy is life-changing. It’s an automatic jumping ball that moves when touched - keeps cats entertained for hours when you need to focus. Only downside: charges via micro-USB instead of USB-C.https://amzn.to/4fYuZGW

Stanley GIANT Water Bottle(2.8 litter): It became a meme in the office, but I’m drinking so much more water by not having to visit the kitchen every hour. Perfect for deep focus sessions when you don’t want to break flow. Also available in a slightly less monstrous (but still big) 1.8L version.https://amzn.to/3AU4rYC
26
Miyoo Mini V4This REALLY tiny GameBoy Advance emulator is amazing. Whenever I’m waiting in a queue or ride the subway, I just take it out and play for 2-3 minutes. Amazing for travel without adding weight. I played Pokemon FireRed in the middle of the Thai jungle during our honeymoon - surreal experience:https://amzn.to/40SiWH8
27
PS5 ProJust bought it 2 weeks ago, and my new hobby is swinging around NYC in Spider-Man (not even completing quests - just enjoying flying around). It is definitely the happiest I’ve been in my free time.https://amzn.to/3CCIVIu
28
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza (card game)The perfect party game that takes 30 seconds to learn. Just writing about it makes me think of all the times I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Even better when you realize a 7-year-old invented it!https://amzn.to/4fxS9UW
29
The Happy Isles puzzleI’m not really into puzzles, but this one’s special. Created by magicians, this 1,000-piece puzzle does an actual magic trick (!) when you complete it. Don't look at spoiler reviews - just trust me on this one.https://amzn.to/3Ze8WGR

Go F*ck Yourself I’m Coloring” adult coloring bookSuper relaxing, surprisingly affordable, funny, and a great way to decompress after a long day.https://amzn.to/4g0SZcv

35
Oura Ring 3I hate jewelry, but my wife convinced me to get this as an engagement ring. Now I’m hooked. The sleep tracking is incredible, it barely needs charging, and I don’t even notice it’s on my finger.https://amzn.to/4fSRKwJ
36
Sleep Mist Pillow SprayIf there's one thing that actually improved my sleep quality, it’s this simple spray. 2-3 spritzes on the pillow before bed and I’m out like a light.https://amzn.to/3Zfwew7

41
Soundcore Sleep A20I don’t use these every night, but when I have insomnia and can't sleep, I put these on and play an audiobook → usually fall asleep within minutes. Unlike regular earbuds or headphones that get uncomfortable, these are specifically designed for sleeping - you can actually sleep on your side with them.https://amzn.to/3V5SDcD
42
HoverAir X1 droneUnlike regular drones that require complex controls and licenses, this one is completely autonomous - just throw it in the air and it starts following you. It’s so tiny it fits in your pocket (seriously, it’s the size of my old iPhone). The only downside: The battery only lasts 5 minutes, but that's usually enough time to get the perfect shot on a vacation.https://amzn.to/3UZTuvu
43
NOMATIC backpackThe backpack I’ve been using daily for 5 years - from office commutes to coffee shop hopping in Brooklyn to vacation. Thoughtfully designed, AAA quality.https://amzn.to/411ScE3
44
Insta360 X4 tiny cameraOh, how I love this camera. You don't need to “point” the camera - it captures everything in 360° and you choose the angle later in the app. The selfie stick even magically disappears from the final footage. I took it to Namibia dunes and LOVED it.https://amzn.to/3COlkEB
45
Ostrichpillow GoThe travel pillow that actually works. Once you try it, you’ll never go back to those U-shaped airport ones.https://amzn.to/4eJkerg
