Thanks for hunting, Bram! I got the idea for CLP last year when I started to feel like my Mac was working against me. My main project, Code-Free Startup, was growing quickly and I found myself needing to focus and record a lot of course material. But between Chrome tabs and Slack chats, I kept getting distracted. I use Alfred 3 for a lot of stuff, so I checked to see if anyone had built productivity workflows and was surprised to see nothing out there. So I made a simple script that would quit all apps and open my todo list when I typed in “need to get work done” into Alfred, that was super refreshing. After working and building this out over the last 8 months, I integrated Pomodoro timers, research tools, and a lot of other stuff to help streamline how I got stuff done. And it seriously worked. I ended 2017 having recorded 119 videos averaging 17 minutes each, and that was way more productive than I’ve ever been. So I took all of my workflows, packaged them up and recorded a bunch of video guides to set them up, integrate with your workflow, etc. Let me know what you think! Happy to answer questions here and would love to know your other favorite Alfred workflows.

Ironically I'm coming across this _because_ I'm wasting time

Boosted my productivity tons, thanks again Brent! Never managed to get my hands dirty with Alfred workflows before but this was definitely a very good starting point. Would recommend it to anyone!

Came across this earlier in the day, loved the idea, bought it, tweaked my Alfred workflows a bit, and I'm already super impressed and excited about the possibilities. Thanks @brentsum for putting this all together. Now it's time to double down on deep work!

Good

This product sounds fantastic! The problem with many productivity tools is that sometimes you spend more time using them than doing the actual task.
