Three Technology Tools You Shouldn’t Live Without

Most of you are working in small organizations, where it’s sooooo easy to become overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done. You’re also probably taking on a bunch of tasks that aren’t really part of your job description, or they fit within that “Other duties as directed” category.

I hear you. So today I’m sharing three bits of technology that really help me deal with overwhelm, and I hope they’ll help you, too. (And no, I don’t make anything if you click on the links)

Later: Later is a social media scheduler and automatic poster. I use it to plan out my posts for the week, and schedule them all at once. Super time saver, and it’s truly a load off of my mind that my social media is all set up and ready to go at the beginning of the week.

Canva: Canva is a design app—and you absolutely do not need to be a designer to use it. You can set up your own branding, including fonts and colors, which makes it easy to achieve a consistent look. You can also access a TON of templates for everything from presentations to e-books to social media posts.

Trello: This is my favorite project management app. I can set up a board for each of my clients and/or projects, and track milestones, upload documents—basically keep myself on track. Very easy to use, and drastically reduces the chances that anything falls through the cracks.

Although I’ve linked to the web pages for each of them above, they all have apps you can use on your phone or tablet.

These are just three of the tools I use to keep myself organized and on track. What are some of your favorites?
