Project Management – Asana

Asana is free for teams smaller than 15 people, and it’s also touted by many as the best project management tool there is!

With Asana, you can track all of your tasks in a list format, or you can use a ‘board system’ to drag your projects to different stages. 

You can create projects, sub-projects within them and add and remove people from each project. You can also have conversations with colleagues and freelancers etc., on the actual project board or list item.

You can also easily add documents and files from DropBox, Google Drive, and pretty much every other cloud-based storage. Alternatively, you can upload files straight into Asana.

File Management – Google Drive

File management is always fun!

You can easily share, organize and collaborate on documents using Google Drive. Entrepreneur Jason Whaling has an excellent YouTube video that outlines a great way to use Google Drive to get organized and create an intuitive “filing system.” 

With Google Drive, you get a terabyte of storage, and you don’t have to pay for each user. It also integrates perfectly with the other Google products – Google docs, slides, and sheets.

Idea Generation & Tracking – EverNote

Ideas often come to us at random times of the day. If you have ever tried meditating for the first time, you’ll have lots of creative ideas and random thoughts, even though you are actively trying not to think about anything!

If you have any great ideas while you have your phone with you or are on your computer, you can use EverNote to note your idea. For example, you could be working on one project, and an idea pops into your head about a marketing campaign – make a note of it with Evernote and then get back to the project!

Evernote has a YouTube and WebClipper. This clipper allows you to take notes from blog posts and websites that you have found interesting. At a later date, you can look at those “clippings” and use them to create your own content.

Telephone Answering – Moneypenny

Answering unnecessary calls is annoying. Distractions and interruptions are a productivity killer and a profit killer if you are a business owner.

With this in mind, it may well be a good idea to invest in a phone answering service or app like those on offer with Moneypenny.

In the UK, Moneypenny has a small business phone system that acts as a professional switchboard. You can also opt for a dedicated receptionist to answer any of your calls (as dictating by the app interface). There is even a 24/7 service. With round-the-clock service, you will have your main, dedicated receptionist answering your calls during regular office hours and a small team of additional receptionists taking calls during evenings, early mornings, and weekends.

Video EdItor – InShot

Some of the new mobile phones in 2021, to be fair, have their own fantastic video editors built-in as standard. However, if you are using an older phone, fear not, as InShot, is a great free app that will allow you to create and edit amazing videos. 

If you are posting a video to Facebook, Linkedin, or Twitter, it is always a good idea to add a transcription or at least some text notes to the video so that it can be watched while muted. InShot allows you to do this very quickly and easily.

It’s also great for adding different clips together into one video and using transitions between them all. It is quick and easy to learn; search on YouTube for an Inshot tutorial.
