I've heard Rescue Time is really good. I think I'll be giving it a try soon.

It really is, and it is SOO easy, I used to be a tech-a-phobe but now I love all things nerdy and especially Skype for being so easy!

I have a few of those and have considered others but some are new to me. I really appreciate learning about these tools because it isn't easy to stumble upon them. I keep putting off skype but it is probably time to get on board.

Maren…Great list of tools here. This is perfect timing because I'm about to go on a 3 month trip traveling around Europe. One of my concerns is being able to get work done while I'm away. This list gave me a few ideas. (Though I'll never be converted the Mac cult)

After stumbling upon this post I then found another that was very similar and complimentary since the only tool mentioned on both seems to be dropbox which I am personally unfamiliar with.

$100 bucks?! $100 for the design and you also get a certain number of business cards?! Is that how it works?
Their designs really look great.

Been using it a lot lately and my productivity has gone through the roof, since you can set a time of what you want to do and then actually watch your progress.

Hi Maren, first time on your blog, it is awesome! Evernote and rocking business cards are my favorites from the list, going to explore more. Thanks!

Yep, for $100 bucks it is worth it to have some killer business cards no matter what you do

Thanks Wilson! Check them out, they are all SUPER easy to use (hence why i like them) and most of them are some version of free

I've found basecamp takes a bit to get used to, but if you spend a few hours you can use it for life and scale it to fit whatever business you build.

I am not using any of these services I've heard about EverNote but have never really used it. And yeah a Mac would be nice to have, I actually wanted to get one. But than I realized that everyone had a Mac which didn't really make it as exiting to get one. I guess I am not going to buy one soon.
But for the business cards. I thought of printing my own business cards too. They aren't really expensive and they can be really helpful.

wow maren,
You are making me look bad, I don't use but one of these (skype) I am glad you made this post though. I know I will need basecamp pretty soon for sure. Great list for entrepreneurs for sure. Thanks

I've heard really good things about Basecamp, but haven't tried it…. Skype is something I”ll be experimenting with very, very soon.

By: Paul

Paul — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:00:44 +0000

Maren,

This is a great list, thank you for sharing it. I'm going to come back and look further into each one of them. I certainly need to be using some of them at least. Even the Skype idea is so simple and looks like a must.

Great list, but I'd love to talk about one of my favorite killer applications, Dropbox.

The short: automatically sync and share files.

The long: My partner lives in Calgary, and I'm in Denver. We're a virtual organization that shares all of our business documents via Dropbox. We can share entire folders to other Dropbox users, or individual files via URL to anyone. The audit log provides complete transparency of file modification from a Read/Write/Delete prospective.

There's a free iPhone app that has a superb built in document viewer capable of reading the most popular file formats: PDF, Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and more. You can also "Favorite" individual files so that a local copy is saved to the phone/ipod touch.

Can you tell that I absolutely love this app?

Wow I love the design of those business cards! I don't think I'd be concerned with biz cards yet but those cards rock and make people want to keep them. I use Evernote to capture ideas/screenshots. It's awesome especially for research/learning purposes.

E.ggtimer rocks for productivity enhancement!

Yeah so far I like Teqpad but I need to see how 'right on' it is with metrics glad you liked the list!

By: Maren Kate

Maren Kate — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 23:04:01 +0000

It is REALLY helpful, other tool... moleskins and anything on an iPhone/PDA that keeps track of voice notes and translates them into text like Jott.com

Maren Kate — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 23:03:33 +0000

Exactly right?? I know I buy awesome business cards just to whip them out and please myself more than anything!

By: J. D. Bentley

J. D. Bentley — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 23:01:32 +0000

This is a great list and I can highly recommend most of these. I've used everything on this list except for Teqpad. Not sure what I think of it yet, but it seems pretty decent. I'm glad you put Evernote on the list. I'm going to go download it right after this. I've been needing a way to organize random thoughts and I'd totally forgotten about Evernote. Thanks!

Hey thanks for these tips! I am going to try out Evernote. I need a better way to keep track of my ideas.

Great list! I really want to get around to getting some really great business cards. Especially when my blog is really up and running and I am making a full-time income from it (because then when people ask me what I do for a job I can just whip out a business card and say 'check it out!'
