About The Productivity Tips
The Productivity Tips is a small site about getting more of the right things done without burning out. Its tagline is “Boost Productivity, Achieve Balance,” and that is the filter for everything we publish: if a tip wouldn’t survive an ordinary, interrupted Tuesday, it doesn’t belong here.
We cover time management, focus, habits and the apps and planners people use to run their days. The articles are written by AR.
How we write
We follow a few rules, and we’d rather you hold us to them than take our word for it.
- We check prices on official pages. When an article gives a price or a free-plan limit, it comes from the company’s own pricing page or app store listing, and the article says when we checked. If a page didn’t make the price clear, we say that instead of guessing.
- “Checked” and “tested” mean different things. We say “checked” when we read a company’s official page. We say “tested” only when we actually used the product.
- We separate evidence from opinion. Where a study or an official source supports a claim, we link it. Where it’s our own suggestion, we label it as ours, not as a research finding.
- If we can’t verify something, we leave it out. Our guides are shorter than some, and that’s deliberate.
- We update the pages we rework. Articles we’ve rewritten to this standard carry an “Updated” note at the bottom. Some older articles haven’t been reworked yet, and we’re going through them.
What this site is not
It isn’t a place for medical, legal or financial advice. Where an article touches on health, such as meditation and stress, it points out the limits and tells you when to talk to a professional.
Ads and links
The site may show advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense, and may use affiliate links in the future. Neither decides what we recommend. If a link is an affiliate link, we’ll say so on the page. You can read how ads and cookies work in our Privacy Policy.
Corrections
Prices, free plans and app features change. If you spot something out of date or wrong, tell us the page and what you saw at the contact page. We’ll check the official source and fix it.
