New month, new goals. What are some of your bigger picture goals you'd like to accomplish this month?

I loved https://yourstack.com because it allowed me to list (stack) the tools I'm using (to make stuff). Basically answering the question "which tools are you using/recommending?". Yourstack was also great becuause you could browse the stacks of other makers to (re)discover tools and compare approaches as well as sharing tips and tricks around those tools. While yourstack is currently on (permanent) vacation (https://twitter.com/rrhoover/sta...) I was wondering if you only could take 5 tools to an island: which tools would you pick and why? Ideally name tools that you rely on regularly. Can be evergreen tools or something new. Bonus points if you made something using those tools. Feel free to share what you made for context : ) Will also share my top 5 tools after a few comments (wow, narrowing down is not easy)!

For me it has to be having autonomy as an engineer. This includes: Choosing how my work day is structured. Being able to have a say on what the most important work is that needs to be done. Having an amount creative freedom in my solutions.
