app of the week

it’s probably no surprise that more than half of americans would prefer to work from home. fortunately, technology has progressed so rapidly since the 1980s that more than 80% of americans say their homes are properly prepared for home offices. (a pandemic forcing employees to work from home and companies to adequately prepare for remote employees didn’t hurt the cause, either.)

more apps of the week:  automate captions for videos | can’t read it now? save it for later | don’t lose precious memories: digitize old photos | track your mileage automatically | keep track of your subscriptions | capture testimonials to increase credibility | find an extra set of hands for time-consuming tasks | personalize communication and set yourself apart from competition | waiting to exhale (i.e., can april 19 hurry up?) |

however, keeping your entire team on the same page with regard to objectives, strategies, expectations and deadlines can be a chore. fortunately, there are lots of project management apps out there to help, but how do you know which one is best for you? here, i’ll highlight three of my favorites.

to use any of them, you need to shift your mindset from thinking about files and folders to embracing workspaces and whiteboards.

monday.com and notion are online hubs for remote workers. they replace the idea of emails sent to individuals and files kept in individual folders. with the new workplace tools, everyone’s tasks, projects, files and research are all shared in one workspace (with options to keep areas private, of course). the shift is more collaborative and open rather than siloed and separate.

monday’s pricing ranges from a free account with up to two seats to a pro plan that’s less than $50 a month (billed annually). there’s also an enterprise level that requires a quote. notion is similar in that it also has a free account up to the enterprise level. however, notion’s plans charge per user versus having subscriptions that include up to a certain amount of users.

another great app in the collaboration competition is clickup, which bills itself as “one app to replace them all.” with a free-forever level, clickup is a great place to start for a simple collaboration home base. users can upgrade to an unlimited account for $5 per member per month (best for small teams) or a business account for $12 per month (best for mid-size teams). of course, clickup also offers an enterprise account for large teams and, of course, that price needs to be quoted.
