ALFRED

Mac only – A fantastic productivity tool that brings keyboard shortcuts, automated processes and actions, text shortcuts and much, much more to reduce the amount of time you spend doing the day to day actions on your Mac. There’s a free version but the paid powerpack is a must.

ASANA

I’ve been using Asana since 2008 and simply find it one of the best online Project Management tools available. In fact, I liked it so much that it became the foundation of my consulting business. I continue to try the new tools and services but nothing seems to keep pace with Asana.

CONVERTKIT

I switched to Convertkit from Mailchimp as the number of functions and options on Mailchimps free service seemed to be getting less and less. I took the paid service for automations and extras, but Convertkit has now introduced a free package too.

GOOGLE WORKSPACE

Google Workspace is a suite of productivity and collaboration tools that includes Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and more. It allows teams to work together in real-time, access files from anywhere, and streamline communication and productivity.

PIPEDRIVE

Another one of those CRM Apps where I seem to have tried them all and just come back to Pipedrive. I’ve upgraded and downgraded and upgraded again a few times which just shows how it scales for the size of your business. I love the simplicity of the functionality as well as the price.

SITEGROUND HOSTING

I’ve used a number of hosts in my time but I have to say that Siteground delivers superb support that can’t be beaten. The hosting services are ‘professional’ standard so obviously you pay a little more than most, but if your website and services are critical, Siteground is the way to go.

TEXTEXPANDER

The uses for Textexpander are too numerous to mention. Shortcuts, spelling autocorrections, templates, adding links and a host of useful timesavers. There’s a lot of overlap with Alfred so worth looking at both tools before deciding which one works best for you.
