Time Management Guru's: What are some productivity tools that you use at work?

I currently work as a Dev-Ops guy at a 30 person startup. I wanted to see what everyone had in their "Work-Stack".

I put on many hats in the course of my work-week. I use a small software suite to help manage my day-to day.

https://trello.com : I plan everything in Trello. I found that executing a list helps me put my schedule on cruise control. I think Trello has the best UI in the planner category. It lets me shift items like cards, and make multiple pinterest style boards for my tasks.

http://ift.tt/1LOMrhY : Data-Science to Improve your Emails. (Gmail only Beta.) This tool helps me condense my emails. It has a indicator that shows how long each email you write will take to read. Additionally it has tools to help you visualize where your "Call to Action" is. (which is basically the most important sentence in your email, and what you're asking of your reader.)

https://freedom.to/ : Same idea as those sites that block popular time-waster/social sites. But this works on your phone. I use my phone to goof off way more nowadays so I appreciate this modern update to those social-site blocking apps.

Would love to know about tools you guys use to stay on schedule?
