PRODUCTIVITY TOOL OF THE WEEK
You Need To Get GRAMMARLY
We’d be lost without Grammarly. It’s an AI writing assistant that helps you nail your tone, make your point and speed up your work. It gets rid of any grammatical mistakes or typos. And if you’re really stuck on what to say, it can even write for you! Usually the worst thing about any kind of integrated tool is that it takes ages to set up, but Grammarly is pretty seamless. You can use it on desktop and mobile, and it works anywhere you write—even on text and WhatsApp. Check it out.
