✨ To be truly happy, you need to consider this one controversial approach

 
Good evening! As 2021 winds down, it’s a great time to revisit some of our favorite apps. Over the year, we rounded up our favorite productivity tools, essential software for working from home, and a few add-ins that work right inside Zoom.

And just in case you’re suffering from smartphone overload and want to give yourself a digital detox, we even recommended apps you might well be able to live without. Dig in!
