A new year begins! New commitments as well...Do you remember the last three resolutions you promised to keep? And you still haven’t kept them!
At Artsper, we use several tools and services in order to improve our productivity. We’ve decided to share our top 10. Maybe you'll find the perfect one to help you with your everyday life and boost your productivity!
1. Trello
Trello is a tool that helps you organise the tasks you need to carry out, by helping you and your team prioritise and divide them. Its visual and fun aspect allows you to assign a task to a card, which you can move on your control panel, as the project evolves. Intuitive, simple and quick to get used to, Trello will help you track your projects' progress all while keeping an eye on the deadline!
2. Google Drive
Remember the empty feeling when you reach your destination, you suddenly realise that you’ve forgotten your storage equipment and all your documents... well an easy solution is Google Drive!
Now, it’s possible to check your documents from any phone, tablet or computer! It’s even possible to share the document with your colleagues at work or even work on it as a group on it, from different devices. In short, Google Drive is an exceptionally efficient collaborative storage tool.
3. Evernote
This software is considered to be an “extension of our brain and memory”. It’s no easy task! What it allows you to do isn’t easy as well: take scattered notes, record vocal memos, link or images, add comments...and all this information is synchronized between your various devices! The only problem: there's no excuse for your forgetfulness...
4. Pocket

Moreover, it allows beginners to achieve a professional looking slide presentation in a short span of time.
