Productivity Tools And Tips For Linux
================================================================================
![](http://itsfoss.itsfoss.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Productivity-Tips-Linux.jpg)
Since productivity in itself is a subjective term, I am not going into the details of what “productivity” I am talking about here. I am going to show you some tools and tips that could help you to focus better, be efficient and save time while working in Linux.
### Productivity tools and tips for Linux ###
Again, I am using Ubuntu at the time of writing this article. But the productivity tools and tips I am going to show you here should be applicable to most of the Linux distributions out there.
#### Ambient Music ####
[Music impacts productivity][2]. It is an open secret. From psychologists to management gurus, all have been advising to use ambient noise to feel relaxed and concentrate on your work. I am not going to argue with it because it works for me. I put my headphones on and listening to the birds chirping and wind blows indeed helps me in relaxing.
In Linux, I use ANoise player for ambient noise player. Thanks to the official PPA provided, you can easily [install Ambient Noise player in Ubuntu][2] and other Ubuntu based Linux distributions. Installing it lets you play the ambient music offline as well.
Alternatively, you can always listen to ambient noise online. My favorite website for online ambient music is [Noisli][3]. Do give it a try.
#### Task management app ####
A good productive habit is to keep a to-do list. And if you combine it with [Pomodoro Technique][4], it could work wonder. What I mean hear is that create a to-do list and if possible, assign those tasks a certain time. This will keep you on track with your planned tasks for the day.
For this, I recommend [Go For It!][5] app. You can install it in all major Linux distributions and since it is based on [ToDo.txt][6], you can easily sync it with your smartphone as well. I have written a detailed guide on [how to use Go For It!][7].
Alternatively, you can use [Sticky Notes][8] or [Google Keep][9]. If you need something more like [Evernote][10] fan, you can use these [open source alternatives for Evernote][11].
#### Clipboard manager ####
Ctrl+ C and Ctrl+V are the integral part of our daily computer life. Only problem is that these important actions dont have memory (by default). Suppose you copied something important and then you accidentally copied something else, youll lose what you had before.
A clipboard manager comes handy in such situation. It displays the history of things you have copied (to clipboard) recently. You can copy text back to clipboard from it.
I prefer [Diodon clipboard manager][12] for this purpose. It is actively developed and is available in Ubuntu repositories.
#### Recent notifications ####
When you are busy with something else and a desktop notification blings and fades away, what do you do? You wish that you could see what was the notification about, isnt it? Recent notification indicator does this job. It keeps a history of all recent notifications. This way, you would never miss the desktop notifications.
You can read about [Recent Notification Indicator here][13].
#### Terminal Tips ####
No, I am not going to show you all those Linux command tricks and shortcuts. That could make up an entire blog. I am going to show you couple of terminal hacks you could use to enhance your productivity.
- **Change** sudo **password timeout**: By default sudo commands require you to enter password after 15 minutes. This could be tiresome. You could actually change the default sudo password timeout. [This tutorial][14] shows you how to do that.
- **Get desktop notification for command completion**: Its a common joke among IT guys that developers spend a lot of time waiting for programs to be compiled and it is not entirely true. But it does affect the productivity because while you wait for the programs to be compiled, you may end up doing something else and forget about the commands you had run in the terminal.A nicer way would be to get desktop notification when a command is completed. This way, you wont be distracted for long and can go back to what you were supposed to be doing earlier. Read about [how to get desktop notification for command completion][15].
I know that this is not a comprehensive article about **increasing productivity**. But these little apps and tips may actually help you to get more out of your valuable time.
Now its your turn. What programs or tips you use to be more productive in Linux? Something you want to share with the community?

Linux产能工具及其使用技巧
================================================================================
![](http://itsfoss.itsfoss.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Productivity-Tips-Linux.jpg)
由于生产力本身是一个主观术语我不打算详细解释我这里要讲到的“生产力”是什么。我打算给你们展示一些工具及其使用技巧希望这会帮助你在Linux中工作时能更专注、更高效并且能节省时间。
### Linux产能工具及其使用技巧 ###
再次说明我在写下本文时正在使用的是Ubuntu。但是我将要在这里展示给大家产能工具及其使用技巧却适用于外面的大多数Linux发行版。
#### 外界的音乐 ####
[音乐影响生产力][1],这已经是一个公开的秘密了。从心理学家到管理大师,他们都一直在建议使用外界的杂音来让自己放松并专注于工作。我不打算就此进行辩论,因为这对于我确实有效。我戴上耳机,然后倾听着鸟叫声和风声,这确实让我很放松。
在Linux中我使用ANoise播放器来播放外界的杂音。多亏了官方提供的PPA你可以很容易地[安装Ambient Noise播放器到Ubuntu中][2]以及其它基于Ubuntu的Linux发行版中。安装它也可以让它离线播放外界的音乐。
另外,你也总可以在线听外界杂音。我最喜欢的在线外界音乐站点是[Noisli][3]。强烈推荐你试试这个。
#### 任务管理应用 ####
一个良好的生产习惯,就是制订一个任务列表。如果你将它和[番茄工作法][4]组合使用,那就可能创造奇迹了。这里我所说的是,创建一个任务列表,如果可能,将这些任务分配到特定的某个时间。这将会帮助你跟踪一天中计划好的任务。
对于此,我推荐[Go For It!][5]应用。你可以将它安装到所有主流Linux发行版中由于它基于[ToDo.txt][6],你也可以很容易地同步到你的智能手机中。我已经为此写了一个详尽的指南[如何使用Go For It!][7]。
此外,你可以使用[Sticky Notes][8]或者[Google Keep][9]。如果你需要某些更类似[Evernote][10]的功能,你可以使用这些[Evernote的开源替代品][11]。
#### 剪贴板管理器 ####
Ctrl+ C和Ctrl+V是我们日常计算机生活中不可缺少的一部分它们唯一的不足之处在于这些重要的活动不会被记住默认情况下。假如你拷贝了一些重要的东西然后你意外地又拷贝了一些其它东西你将丢失先前拷贝的东西。
剪贴板管理器在这种情况下会派上用场,它可以显示你最近拷贝(到剪贴板的)内容的历史记录,你可以从它这里将文本拷贝回到剪贴板中。
对于该目的,我更偏好[Diodon剪贴板管理器][12]。它处于活跃开发中并且在Ubuntu的仓库中可以得到它。
#### 最近通知 ####
如果你正忙着处理其它事情,而此时一个桌面通知闪了出来又逐渐消失了,你会怎么做?你会想要看看通知都说了什么,不是吗?最近通知指示器就是用于处理此项工作,它会保留一个最近所有通知的历史记录。这样,你就永远不会错过桌面通知了。
你可以阅读[最近通知指示器这里][13]。
#### 终端技巧 ####
我不打算给你们展示所有那些Linux命令技巧和快捷方法那会写满整个博客了。我打算给你们展示一些终端黑技巧你可以用它们来提高你的生产力。
- **修改**sudo**密码超时**默认情况下sudo命令要求你在15分钟后再次输入密码这真是让人讨厌。实际上你可以修改默认的sudo密码超时。[此教程][14]会给你展示如何来实现。
- **获取命令完成的桌面通知**这是IT朋友们之间的一个常见的玩笑开发者们花费大量时间来等待程序编译完成而这不完全是正确的。但是它确实影响到了生产力因为在你等待程序编译完成时你可以做其它事情并忘了你在终端中运行的命令。一个更好的途径就是在一个命令完成时让它显示桌面通知。这样你就不会长时间被打断并且可以回到之前想要做的事情上。请阅读[如何获取命令完成的桌面通知][15]。
我知道,这不是一篇全面涵盖了**提升生产力**的文章。但是,这些小应用和小技巧可以在实际生活中帮助你在你宝贵的时间中做得更多。
现在该轮到你们了。在Linux中你使用了什么程序或者技巧来提高生产力呢有哪些东西你想要和社区分享呢
