TOOLS I RECOMMEND

TOP PICKS

Working online has its fair share of pros and cons. A ‘pro’ would be “there’s probably a software/equipment for that,” and ironically, that’s also the ‘con’.

There are SO MANY software, apps and equipment out there – especially now that digital work and its workers have multiplied significantly – that you may get stuck on finding ones that suit you best.

It doesn’t matter if someone is tech-savvy. When you find one that works for you and your business, you pretty much stay with it for as long as you possibly can – because no one wants to keep migrating their stuff over and over.

So, click any of the buttons below to see the list that I recommend and use (past and current) for business and personal!
