How do you balance using multiple productivity tools and avoiding tool overload?

Let's face it: there are a LOT of productivity tools out there. All for different purposes.
(That's also exactly why the solution that my teams and I built combines project, task & documentation management in one platform: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/klever-suite)
So, how do you find the perfect balance in choosing the right tool for you and your teams?
I would love to hear your insights!

Stick to the essentials and ruthlessly cut the rest—less is more when it comes to tool stacks. I had the same problem before launching my app on ProductHunt.

Think of productivity tools like ingredients in a recipe. Just as you wouldn't throw every spice in your pantry into one dish, select tools that complement your workflow. Keep it simple, master a few, and savor the productivity they bring. Quality over quantity!
Stick to the essentials. One for task management, another for comms, and maybe one for time tracking.
A year back I had a phase where I used to constantly get irritated if all my productivity tools are not in line with what I wanted them to be but since then I have changed my approach and I keep my productivity only 'good enough'.
Not too messy and not overly organized. I use Notion BTW
Integration is key. Make sure the tools you pick play nice together to automate tasks and reduce manual work.
