USEFUL ONLINE RESOURCES

Good afternoon everyone, I hope everyone had a wonderful week and if you are local to Bristol, I hope you took full advantage of the beautiful weather!

This week is a short, snappy rundown of my favourite online apps and resources, so let’s kick off the list:

Asana

Asana 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 girl and use my trusty planner (a beautiful mint green and gold hunk I found in Asda). However, Asana 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 and it even provides you with a project-specific calendar, so you can quickly and easily see where you are and look at any upcoming tasks.

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 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 am getting super busy!

I hope this post has been helpful and insightful and I wish you all a productive week!

See you soon!
