Beautiful Productivity Tools

Minimalism and Efficiency

My search for more efficient productivity tools has become an activity in itself. At times, I think the variety of apps has taken procrastination to a new level, but some apps begin to give me some hope of actually being helpful in making my real, everyday life more efficient and fruitful. What works in a productivity app and what makes the potential of these apps so interesting is how some of these beautiful apps manage to make a connection between cyperspace (and/or least desktop space) and the real world. The “real world” is becoming an ambiguous term indeed as our activities in the cloud change how we think and, in the case of productivity tools, how we structure our day.

So up for scrutiny today are: Feedly, Springpad, and TeuxDuex. These will in no way be exhaustive reviews, just an overview.
