I think the best tech tool is the one you forget you're using. If it needs a tutorial every week, it's probably not solving your problem. What's one tool that just works for you?

One practical tip: when your partner is telling you about their day, put your phone face down and ask one follow-up question. That small act of attention speaks louder than grand gestures.
Early in my career I thought working harder was the answer. It wasn't. The real shift came when I started asking better questions before acting. Clarity beats effort almost every time.
