Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Reasoning) is great for helping me think through and plan out more strategic oriented tasks or projects. Also very helpful creative brainstorming.

I've been using Shortwave email for months because you mentioned it a while back. It's a total game changer for me and they keep on making it better.

i really like Snipd, even started writing notes combined with Lex (https://thesnipreport.com). Superhuman is also awesome, but does not work with Protonmail :(

I’ve really been enjoying the updates from Kortex lately that combine quite a few of these into one. 😊

Loved seeing this real-world breakdown of your tech stack — it’s so refreshing to see not just what tools you’re using but how they fit into the flow of a real day. It’s a great reminder that even powerful tools need intentional systems behind them (like your combination of timeboxing and focused sprints) to really shine.

Hi Jeremy, really helpful learning about tools available. Wondering what is your type of work you do, making use of the tools? Predominantly writing and presenting?

Hi Phil! I teach at the City University of New York’s Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, and I have an admin role as well, as director of teaching and learning, so i use tools to assist with teaching and with my work supporting our school’s faculty and helping with the development of new programs. I also lead workshops and give talks periodically, so I use tools in service of all those various efforts.

I do various volunteer work as well, so sometimes I use tools to help with that. I use and test tools to write about in my free time for this newsletter, and to manage the growth, monetization and development of the newsletter as well. That may have been more - or less- than you were asking, but hopefully that addresses your question! I appreciate your interest! -Jeremy

Thanks, Sohail. I used Descript to record and edit the audio, so I picked a couple of short music clips from Descript's small library. Another option that has some little music clips is Adobe Podcast (podcast.adobe.com).
