Or, add Tim Ferriss's gadgets a la carte

  • RescueTime Today

  • Top pick! RescueTime allows me to see -- at a glance -- exactly how I spend my time. No data entry, just improved productivity. I can set limits on certain websites or applications, and it's a simple tool to keep the focus on output and not just being busy.

  • Daily Burn

  • Body optimization in less time. I can input one or two words for eat meal/snack, food info is pulled automatically from a USDA database, and I can see if I'm on track to lose fat or gain muscle.

  • Outsourcing Calculator

  • Is that task worth your time, or can you afford to pay someone else overseas or across the street? Cleaning your home or putting together a spreadsheet? Calculate the value of your time with this gadget. If something is less than your hourly rate, focus on bigger things and experiment with getting it off of your plate.

  • Countdown Timer

  • Harness the power of the compressed deadline. I use this for short 20-40 minute sprints on specific projects to reach completion or next milestones. Close e-mail, turn off the phone, and do this at least 2x per day on your predefined critical few vs. trivial many.

  • Google Weather

  • Must-have for those who love to travel. This is perfect for sparking spur-of-the-moment weekend trips and mini-retirements to warmer climates.

  • Kayak

  • Kayak allows me to check last-minute and low-cost escapes to gems worldwide.

  • Places to See

  • The Places to See gadget reminds me that life is finite and that the best of it is often outside the office.

  • Theme: John Maeda

  • I love this Maeda design for its simplicity and beautiful ephemeral composition. It's a clean layout with a softness that provokes positive emotions, at least for me.
