Hey Chuka!

Ive just listened yours with Emmanuel podcast and I have to say thats a nice blend of jokes and personal review for productivity tools.

This joke popped up into my mind “The main reasons why plans fail: one thing and another’’:-)

Maybe you will be also interested in a new calendar Tweek ,
it is very simple and that`s what users actually like.

Hopefully you will find it interesting too:-)
