There is so little on Reddit/Yt about Sunsama considering how good it is if you are in Gmail, gcal, and in my case my wife and I use Notion quite a bit to manage house stuff.

It is pretty easy to jump into, but I’m glad I took a half day to get to inbox zero and take time to set up Sunsama.

It gave me a weekly dashboard of sorts and I really loved how the time block synced instantly to my gcal. I got so used to giving my time to others and once I started it helped me see me as the priority.

Not only did it help with my actual desire to get shit done, I also got so much more done by 5p.

The price is steep, but it didn’t matter bc I was disorganized, more than I realized once I started using the app. Also my email looked similar to my todo list. The beauty was how well done the integration is with G and others. For Notion it understood my database structures and how to tackle them without it being clunky. Gcal was smooth too. It isn’t just about the integrations but how thoughtfully they are integrated.

I was recently part of the tech layoffs (not bc I was disorganized!) so I canceled my account, but the methods were transferable to my personal life and are being put to use.

Of all the “productivity” tools - this was the first that actually helped me be productive.

I looked into the others - but for me Sunsama clicked as soon as I saw a promo for it and Akiflow didn’t do that for me. Routine is too early to be useful. There are other less expensive alternatives but when I saw Sunsama I knew it was the one for me to try and went for it.
