Productivity Tools
Are you using all the tools in your toolbox? In these days of not having enough time to get everything done, it is wise to employ as many tools as possible. Setting up systems to streamline your efforts will give you more time to be more productive. Here are some examples of helpful, time saving tools.
Carbonite is cheap insurance to protect all of the data on your computer. It backs up your work as you are doing it, in the background. If your computer crashes, just go to your Carbonite to have all of your files installed in the replacement. If you throw out a file by accident, your Carbonite can retrieve it for you. All of your work, pictures, and files are stored on a remote outside secure server. For less than $5.00 per month, you will never have to worry about remembering to back up or losing your work.
Nutshell Mail and Hoot Suite support Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and many social media sites. All of your messages are sorted in one place. This can save you a lot of time; instead of going to each account; you can just go to Nutshell Mail or Hoot Suite to view everything. We all know that checking each account separately can lead to random surfing, which uses a lot of valuable time. While fun, and maybe educational, it can be very unproductive. These resources streamline your activity to make you more productive.
Computergeeks Online is a terrific resource if your computer is slowing down or acting weird. They work remotely to remove viruses and other barriers, clean up unwanted stuff and really add speed to your computer. I call on Ross and his team at least once a year for a tune up or more often if I sense a problem. A sluggish computer can have a major impact on your productivity, as well as put you at risk for identity theft or other cyber mischief.
These are just three of the many tools that are available to make your job easier. The internet is constantly presenting new productivity tools. Using them can help you make your business grow.
