Good afternoon everyone, I hope
everyone had a wonderful week despite
the current global situation.
This
week is a short and snappy run down of my favourite online apps and resources,
so let’s kick off the list:
Trello
Trello
offers so many things it’s hard to get everything down.
Now, when it comes to
everyday to-do’s I am an analogue kinda girlboss and use my trusty planner (no,
you’re a stationery addict). However, Trello has been an invaluable
resource for planning my future projects, getting ideas down, working out how I
get there and ticking off tasks as I go. You can create team projects, so
everyone has an awareness of how far along a project is, you can update each
subtask with comments and upload documents – perfecto!
Notes (IOS) and Memo (Android) App
A
quick shopping list, gift ideas, reminders, a blog post on the train these apps
are perfect for jotting things down on the go. They’re simple and easy to use
and are my go -to apps when running around.
G Suite
I
love, love, love the G Suite products.
Email, chat, documents and storage all
in one package – what more could you ask for? The documents are available
offline too, so you can still work when you have no Wi-Fi and the next time you
hook up to a connection it will automatically sync your changes – perfect for
when you have a dodgy connection or need to get things done on the daily commute.
Canva
Canva
is great. I have the free account but if you can justify the expense, the paid
options offer so much more, like branding, you can upload your own fonts and
have access to premium templates and images. Canva offers you access to tonnes
of beautiful social media templates along with standard marketing materials.
Buffer
Keeping
on top of my social media schedule is exhausting and takes up so. much. time.
I’ve
taken tips from other bloggers and dedicate one full day a week to getting my
next week’s content done all in one day (check out my Instagram post about
Constant Contact’s scheduling calendar) – all images, content and scheduling
happens on one day. I then upload everything to Buffer, schedule the dates and times
of release on all my platforms and Buffer does the rest, leaving me free to get
on with my work throughout the rest of the week safe in the knowledge my posts
are all taken care of.
Hubstaff
Hubstaff
is great for small business owners, freelancers and solopreneurs. It allows you
to time your tasks so you can ensure you are billing your clients correctly. I
don’t use Hubstaff to the its full potential, but it is super handy for
recording time, especially if you use the chrome extension. If you do want to
check it out, it offers team tracking, reporting and timesheet creation!
Short
and sweet this week but I
hope this post has been helpful and insightful and I wish you all a productive week!
Speak
to you soon.
