Ghost is a great way to spin up a good looking site fast. It's "less confusing WordPress". Open source, easy to use, lots of great integrations. This site is built on Ghost.

Todoist is my favorite checklist app. It's free, extremely simple, and I am completely dependent on it. Move the app to your phone home screen, and put a shortcut in your desktop toolbar. Use it to get ideas out of your head as quickly as possible.
