Doing something that doesn’t bring you joy is no fun. Doing work with tools you don’t like is no different. There’s nothing worse than doing your work with apps that suck and are challenging to use.

We all want to do things that we enjoy doing.

There's no point doing something that we don't like or don't enjoy. There's no point buying a phone if we don't like it. There's no point buying things, hats, whatever, if we don't like it.

So when I talk about technology that I use, the apps, services and tools, it's mainly because I enjoy using them.

And I'm hoping in a way, maybe falsely, that you would enjoy using them too. And the reason why I say enjoy using them is because of the simplicity of it.

Have you ever worked at a company? I'm sure some of you've, I mean, you've run a business right now, but you've worked at a company at some stage.

And they've used a system or a tool or an app. And you hate using that tool. So your productivity effectively goes down because you have that block of, oh, do I have to do this?

Whereas if you had a tool in an app that you enjoyed using, you'd get more done.

Your productivity would be higher because you don't have that mental block in the back of your head like, oh my God, I've got to use it.

So the tools that I speak about, I talk about and I try to explain that you should be using is to take that friction point away. That friction point of "oh do I have to use this app".

So the tools that you use, as long as they're as simple and they work for you, have to have things that work for you obviously, will make you more productive basically, I mean there's no two ways about it.

If you have something that you don't like using, you're like "oh do I have to use this"... 

Have you ever borrowed a phone... if you've broken a phone you've borrowed a phone and that borrowed phone isn't as good as your normal phone, you're annoyed using that phone.

And it's the same with the apps and tools that you use. So making sure you have the things that you like around you will make you basically do more.

That's what I think anyway. What do you think? Let me know below. And if you have any questions, there'll be a link below to book a call.

Anyway, see you in the next video.

Ciao.

Bye.
