6 Productivity Tools That Will Boost Your Team’s Efficiency
If you’re a freelance content writer or a cryptocurrency startup co-founder (or basically any freelancer and any entrepreneur), you might need some productivity tools to give you a push forward. Also, you’ll definitely be more significant with an organized mind and focused energy.
We, at Qowwa, we always look for new ways to improve our productivity during working hours and throughout the day. In no particular order, here are our most favorite tools that boost our productivity.
Slack:
Web, mobile, and desktop apps to facilitate communication among team members. A tool that helps teammates stay up to date with the progress of running projects and share files that don’t get compressed along the way. Slack keeps the team connected continuously. We use Slack mainly to help us communicate any updates and follow the team projects to know where we are standing. Slack is beneficial because we have many part-timers who work from home mostly, but we are all up to date with Slack.

Asana:
A team productivity tool that; keeps you continuously updated with new tasks assigned to you and keeps you well-informed with all the currently open projects. Communication gets hard sometimes. Asana gives you the ability to assign tasks, set deadlines, add/receive comments, create groups and keep all the team updates; it even sends the person you assign the task to notifications to keep them updated with the deadlines. Assigning a task to a part-time employee or a freelancer you work and setting a deadline for them is way more comfortable with Asana.
