irony: combing through this list for one that is actually useful is a serious time sink.
One of the best productivity tools is not looking for a tool to make you more productive. Productive people create productivity tools to make them more productive. Unproductive people think those same productivity tools will magically make them work better, but most of the problem lies in a lack of self-discipline, rather than lack of a magic tool.
Wise words. Productivity comes from within. Not from external tools.

I think this is true to an extent. Thinking you need external tools to make you more productive and spending too much time looking at new tools does the opposite. However, deciding on some tools that are good enough for you and actually using them can be a large boon. I have been more productive than ever in 2018 and it's partially because I established a system in Todoist and Trello. Of course, actually building the momentum on top of that system was the more important part, but I really don't think I could have done it without the organization.
It is a well compiled list.
I think the OP titled it incorrectly, which has led to some sagely advice and even debate about productivity in the comments!
In fact these are the kinds of things I'd like to see more of on HN - A peek at personal notes, resources, links etc used by the HN crowd.
Slightly off topic: Is there a way to scrape info about who visits a shared google doc? Could a post like this be used to gather email addresses of people looking for productivity software?
I just received a notification today on a Gdoc I edit frequently that said something like, "Editors can now see who and when the document has been accessed by others"
