By Michelle

One of the most popular video reviews I’ve ever done (two of them, actually) were of Trello, a pretty nifty visual task manager. Given the guest posting course starting on the 21st, I thought maybe y’all would appreciate a little how-to where I show you how you can use it to manage your guest posting […]

Review: SumAll

By Michelle

The summary of SumAll: (see what I did there?)  It’s an analytics dashboard that doesn’t provide analytics on its own, but instead aggregates data from multiple other places (including Google Analytics, Paypal, Stripe, MailChimp, Twitter, and Facebook, just to cover the basics). This lets you see all your data in one spot. There’s a very […]

Review: Coschedule

By Michelle

CoSchedule isn’t technically a productivity tool, but it’s still incredibly useful + time saving. Here’s the bullet points in case you don’t have time to watch the video: Price: $10/month Social media editorial calendar plugin for WordPress What that actually means: it lets you schedule social media updates, corresponding to a particular post, from within […]

Review & Giveaway: Weekdate Planners

By Michelle

Ages and ages ago, I saw a paper planner that really piqued my curiosity – I believe it was on Gala Darling‘s site. And then, I promptly forgot about it for a few years until I started wondering the other day if they were still in business, as I looked at planning tools for 2014…and […]

Review: Conqu

By Michelle

I’d definitely recommend Conqu for people who are managing a small (less than five member) team, especially if everyone on the team uses + is versed in GTD as a productivity system – I can only imagine that’d make it a million times more effective. Pricing: The tool itself is free with unlimited tasks/projects, but […]

Review: Wunderlist 2

By Michelle

Notes: Wunderlist 2 is pretty much the same as the original Wunderlist, not a lot of changes – slightly more streamlined UI, the ability to add notes & subtasks, and more task/list sharing capabilities. But if you missed the other review or want to see what the differences are, here’s a video review for ya! […]

Review: Teambox

By Michelle

I’d checked out Teambox a while ago and was intrigued but not quite impressed – I just decided to take another look at them a few weeks ago and I really like some of the changes they’ve made to make it an easier to use, more streamlined experience. In fact, I’m now using Teambox as […]
