|
年关将至。对我来说，这是非常令人兴奋的一年。截至目前，我已经实现了大多数目标。当然，这得感谢一些好工具给我提供了不少捷径。 这些好工具可分为三类： 1.帮我提高劳动生产的工具。 2.花钱少而且帮我节省时间的工具。 3.对我的业务增长有帮助的工具。 准备好了吗？让我们开始吧： 生产力系统工具 一年多以来，我一直在遵循一个对我的业务产生巨大影响的系统。它包括三个简单的步骤： 1.规划正确路径。 2.在恰当的日子开始。 3.采取行动时明确重点。 1. Google Docs 很棒的工具。我用它为所有自己想完成的任务做规划。 2. Wunderlist 帮我列出进行中的事务清单，对完成第二天的任务帮助很大。 3. Accomplish 它帮我轻松制定当天的日程表。这是我的最佳日历app，可以满足我的全部需要。 4. Clear focus 要是没有这么棒的工具协助，工作时就容易迷失重点。 5. 7 Min Workout app 这个app不光有普通的7分钟锻炼，还有各种各样时长不同的锻炼方式。 6. Headspace 一个很棒的工具，让我在一整天里不停地转换焦点。 7. Freedom Journal 最佳日记app之一。我喜欢的原因是它会提醒我在早上或晚上写日记。 节省时间的工具 通常，我会在某些资源上花几美元，目的是节省自己的时间或资源，对任务分组可以为我省下几分钟时间。 8. Upwork（以前叫做Odesk） 它不光是个工具，还是完成低价值任务的绝佳方法，这样我就可以把时间花在价值较高的任务上。 9.99designs 我相信大家都知道设计工作多么耗时间。重新设计自己的logo时，我花了大把时间向设计师介绍我的愿景，但拿到的概念都不能让我满意，而且还占用了其他项目的时间。有了99designs，我就可以看到许多设计方案，从而节省大量时间。我从中选出自己喜欢的那个，要求反复修改，直到我满意后再付钱。 10.Thrive content builder 开发一个吸引新读者关注的设计非常困难。以前我会把这项工作外包给别人，但有了这个工具，我就不需要这样做了。 11. Auto Text Expander chrome expansion 分享常见句子的绝佳工具，不需要在键盘上把整句都敲出来。 12. Buffer extension 可以同时在所有社交网络上发东西，而不需要逐个进行。 13. Pocket 可以把遇到的重要帖子保存下来，周末再看。 帮我做大业务的工具 一些工具可以帮你加快业务增长速度，而且不需要你投入太多精力。在这方面，这些工具今年帮了我大忙： 14. Thrive Leads 这个工具的作用是从网站上接收多封邮件而不需要在密码上劳神。 15. SumoMe 它包含一系列很棒的工具。我喜欢用的是共享、内容分析和热点图工具。我说了它是免费的吗？我觉得免费版本就很好用。 16. Active Campaign 有了它的帮助，创作自动化和获得新用户和顾客变得前所未有地简单。忘了复杂的Infusionsoft及其高昂的初始费用和月费吧。Active Campaign的收费要低得多。 17. Optimizepress 之前已经听到了许多赞誉之词，但最近我才开始用它。97美元的价格绝对物有所值。 18. Buzzsumo 很棒的工具，可以帮我发现别人在industry +里分享的热门话题和帖子。 其他工具还有很多，以上这些则是2016年对我的业务和生活影响最大的工具。（财富中文网） 译者：Charlie 审校：詹妮 |
We’re getting closer to the end of the year. It’s been a very exciting year for me achieving most of the goals that I’ve set so far. And of course, it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of some tools that have provided great shortcuts. The tools shared in this post fall under three categories: Tools that helped me apply a simple productivity system. Tools that saved me time by paying less money. Tools that had an impact on my business growth. Are you ready? Let’s tackle these: Tools for my productivity system. There is a system that I’ve been following for more than a year now that has had a great impact on my business. It’s composed of three simple steps: Plan the right way. Start the day right. Take action with focus. 1. Google Docs Google Docs: A great tool I use to do all the planning for the tasks I want to accomplish. 2. Wunderlist Wunderlist: Helps me create to-do lists on the go and great for doing tomorrow’s to-do list. 3. Accomplish Accomplish: It helps me easily create my schedule for the day. This is my best calendar app that suits all my needs. 4. Clear focus Clear focus: Taking action with focus hasn’t been easier with the help of this great tool. 5. 7 Min Workout app 7 Min Workout app: Not only does this app have the normal seven minute exercise, but also it have many different variants with different durations 6. Headspace Headspace: A gem tool that changed my focus throughout the day. 7. Freedom Journal Freedom Journal: One of the best journals. I like their app which reminds me to write in the journal in the morning and at the evening. Tools that saved me time. Usually, these are resources where I pay a few dollars to save me time or resources where I could save a few minutes by grouping tasks together. 8. Upwork Upwork (formerly known as Odesk): This is not a tool but it is a great way to get low-value tasks done leaving me time to focus on higher value tasks. 9.99designs 99designs: I’m sure you know how time-consuming design work can be. When redesigning my logo, I spent a ton of time trying to communicate my vision to designers only to receive concepts I wasn’t happy with, which ate into other projects. Using 99designs, I was able to save a lot of time because of the great amount of designs I get. I pick the one I like, ask for reiterations till I like it and then pay. 10.Thrive content builder Having a great design that attracts the attention of new readers is very hard. I used to outsource this job, but with this tool, I don’t need to. 11.Auto Text Expander chrome expansion Great tool to share common sentences without typing them out completely. 12.Buffer extension Publish on all my social networks without entering them one by one. 13.Pocket Save important posts that come your way to read them on the weekends. Tools that helped my business grow. There are a few tools which help you increase your business growth without much work on your end. These are the tools that helped me do just that this year: 14.Thrive Leads This tools helped collect more emails from my website without spending time messing with the code. 15.SumoMe It provides you with a great set of tools. I like to use the share, content analytics and heatmap tools. Did I mention it’s free? I’m doing just fine with the free version. 16.Active Campaign Creating automation with ease to convert new subscribers and customers has never been easier. Forget infusionsoft with its complexity and the hefty price you pay initially and monthly. You pay a fraction of that with Active Campaign. 17.Optimizepress Started using it lately after all the buzz I heard. It deserves every penny of the $97 I paid for it. 18.Buzzsumo Great tool to help me identify popular topics and posts in my “industry +” who are sharing it. There are many tools out there but these are the ones that had the most impact on my business and my life so far in 2016. |
