Keeping it together
This has been a crazy spring and my team has been cruising on a relatively large project. I’ve realized that I owe any bit of sanity / productivity to a few of my go to resources. What keeps you going?
1) Things - task management for macs
I have this on my phone, ipad, and laptop. I love it because I can put any to-do task or reminder in there and then review the list at the end of the day. You can tag things or assign them to projects and then even print off that specific to -do list. It’s keeping me in a much better place than my post-it system ever did.
2) Evernote - A system for “remembering everything”, really a place to have your notes or projects always accessible
As we have been moving quickly on some creative ideas, design, copy, and talking points for this event we needed somewhere that would keep us up to date. So with a shared folder on Evernote we are able to have that info in the most current and up to date format. Super helpful when collaborating while moving at 90mph
3) HeyTell - Instant voice messaging
Ok this is basically texting with your voice. Not entirely necessary but it’s faster than a call and faster than typing a text…plus it’s just kind of fun!
4) Chipotle online ordering - fast online ordering for your team when you need to be accurate and you want to avoid complicated lists!
5) Good tunes - I’m somewhat backwards and when I need to focus the tunes come on. The albums that I keep coming back to right now are:
Keith Urban - defying gravity
Boyce Avenue - New Acoustic Sessions
Hillsong United - Aftermath
Rihanna - Loud
**This list is bound to change next week**
Whatever it takes, hope you are working well with what you’ve got!
