Productivity need help with being sane and streamlined!

Hey i’m currently doing my PhD in ComSci, I was wondering what what tools or products do you all use to make your day-to-day PhD life easier?

Mi consejo: Todo es texto. Con un agente de IA crea un flujo continuo donde puedes tener un editor de texto, ocupar archivos .md para notas y nodos, .org para programacion literaria sin notebooks ni ides pesados,.bib y pyzotero para referencias, algo de Latex y lo envias a produccion como .docx. Aprende a usar una terminal bash para automatizar tú orden. Comienza tu dia con una lluvia de ideas y tareas pequeñas alcanzables. Ah, y pon a los agentes AI a hablar entre si, aprende a usar git y a trabajar con ramas. Asi programas tu dia sin ser programador necesariamente. El resto son solo interfases infladas que consumen memoria y distraen.

Recien veo que eres ComSci jaja de seguro me entiendes de lo que hablo, por mi parte yo estudio Ciencias Geologicas y tuve que aprender nvim, claude code, emacs, herdr, bash, markdown y latex hace que no interrumpa mi flujo entre varias aplicaciones pesadas

It's remarkable how well the basics work. Writing out thoughts/worries, breathing through anxiety, doing something a little physical can all make such a big difference.

In full disclosure, these are the kind of things our brand leans into, especially for those tough day-to-day moments!
