@SeemaNayak

The @doist blog continues to amaze me. 🙌

@nickwritesit

Seriously one of the best blogs around. And one of the only company newsletters I look forward to getting.

@FrancescoD_Ales

Doist quite simply have the best blog in the space. Smashing overview of how to effectively plan your day – just grabbed 5-minutes to cherry pick some ways to improve my work/life routine (just to finetune)

@MichaelDooney

Adjusting to home office and taking care of our new born has meant re-evaluating how I schedule my time and stay productive.
The Ambition & Balance blog from @doist has some great articles for finding what system works best for you.

@melissajoykong

People are sleeping on the @doist blog. Every article is so, so good and jam-packed with actionable information. Really enjoying @fadeke_adegbuyi’s writing.

@ZacLaughton

Of all the career development newsletters I’m subscribed to, “Ambition & Balance” (formerly Todoist Blog) has the most helpful content that I read in full every time. Highly recommended for productivity balancing tips!
