My weekend blog post routine includes posting links to a handful of tools or great content I ran across during the week.

I don’t go into depth about the finds, but I encourage you to check them out if they sound interesting. The photo in the post is a favorite for the week from an online source or one that I took out there on the road.

This week’s featured tools will help you better manage the information you receive. We’ve selected some of our favorite services that will allow you to customize how you consume the news, notifications, and emails.

• Charlie News – Charlie is a news app that helps you stay informed with the important news from around the world. Charlie delivers news stories in a calm and measured way; giving you all the information you need without being overwhelmed.
• Leave Me Alone App – Leave me alone is a simple tool that removes the hassle of unsubscribing from unwanted mail and compiles all of your subscription emails into one place, so you can quickly see what you want to keep or toss out!
• Acapela – Gives you a clutter-free way to manage your work notifications. It connects the work and personal apps you use every day and gives you a high-level view of all your notifications.

These are my weekend favs; I would love to hear about some of yours – Tweet me @ducttape
