#ProdChat – 5/29/13 – #Productivity Tools!
For this week’s #ProdChat, we had a fun topic that we’ll probably do a few times per year since it was such a good conversation, which was discussing your personal productivity tools! So many great tools, so little time! 😉

A2 But for real calendaring (like managing projects and resources), I use #FastTrackSchedule #prodchat

@IsaPinaud I also have a hanging calendar that I love. Thanks for reminding me! 😉 #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Great to be here! I’ve missed this #prodchat

I only use paper notes when I’m writing a long post. Not good! “@profkrg: @mssackstein @MCTheWriter I’d rather take paper notes. #prodchat”

Isn’t that the same question as q3?! “@rsidneysmith: Q3: WHAT DO YOU USE TO KEEP TRACK OF #PROJECTS / #TASKS? #prodchat #productivity”

@MCTheWriter Yeah, the app is called “Now and Then”. It’s got a good UI. Simple and powerful. I tested a bunch. 😉 #prodchat

-
@rsidneysmith glad to hear Ray #prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter Q2 was about TIME management, and Q3 is about task/project management. They are distinct in my mind. 🙂 #prodchat
-
ditto RT @IsaPinaud: A3: Omnifocus is the key to my entire productivity world #prodchat
-
RT @/GTDbloke2013a3 for project management there’s lots of diff tools out there #prodchat http://bit.ly/17v1RmC
-
@rsidneysmith @rememberthemilk @asana yes RTM mainly personal for me too – task and project (tasks) tracking are two diff animals #prodchat
-
@MarketingMusing I love Nozbe collaboration feature. Exactly the reason I may leave Omnifocus #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith why asana over Nozbe? #prodchat

@rsidneysmith Q5: Facebook’s video chat as I only really contact friends/family (don’t have any co-workers yet!) #prodchat

-
Hangouts RT @rsidneysmith: Q5: DO YOU USE AUDIO/VIDEO CHAT TOOLS TO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH COWORKERS, FRIENDS OR FAMILY? WHICH? WHY? #prodchat
-
*gasp* 😉 MT @IsaPinaud: A5a: I use the phone…every once in a while or when I need an immediate answer from someone. #prodchat
-
-
@rsidneysmith A5: Mixed bag… I like Google Hangout for multi-party (mostly co-workers), Skype for one-on-one (friends/family). #prodchat
-
Oh! Thanks for explaining Isa! MT @IsaPinaud: Yes, you basically install skype on facebook. #prodchat
-
MT @ReportSchick A5: I like Google Hangout for multi-party (mostly co-workers), Skype for one-on-one (friends/family). #prodchat

@ReportSchick until you compare it to the paid options 🙂 #prodchat

Q6: WHAT OTHER CATEGORY OF #PRODUCTIVITY APP DO YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND WISHED EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT? #prodchat
