A collection of tools and resources I’ve found genuinely useful for managers looking to work smarter.
AI Assistants
ChatGPT The tool that started the AI productivity revolution. Best for drafting, brainstorming, and working through complex problems conversationally.
Claude My go-to for longer documents and nuanced writing. Particularly strong at understanding context and maintaining tone.
Grammarly Catches grammar and tone issues everywhere you write — email, Slack, docs. The tone detection alone is worth it for managers who write all day.
Management & Leadership
Ask a Manager Practical, no-nonsense advice for workplace situations. Alison Green has seen it all.
Harvard Business Review The gold standard for management thinking. Their free articles are worth the occasional paywall dance.
Productivity
Otter.ai Transcribes meetings so you can actually be present instead of taking notes.
Tech & Tutorials
My Computer Tips Tech tutorials and guides for getting more out of your computer — useful if you want to go deeper on the tools behind the tools.
