I also use Remember the Milk for getting rid of all those websites I don’t need. I don’t have Mac so I am looking for a Windows alternative.

First of all, thanks for the great list! I will suggest you to include Proofhub in this list. It can be very useful tool. You have all the essential areas like project planning, time tracking and gantt chart etc.

Hi. Thank you for this post. I will help me a lot. Additionally, I would like to share something with you. A few weeks ago, I have found an interesting post about using a Kanban board for blog management. Maybe you find it inspiring: How to manage your blog easier than ever before with Kanban method?

Great list. I’ve just started using a couple of these. I stuck to using just Hootsuite for the longest time but I was all over the place vis-a-vis deadlines and other such. Looking forward to seeing a difference soon 🙂

I also have found Focus Booster to be quite handy – and yes! The ticking away as time goes by is annoying to me as is the audible alarm when it is time for a break. I much prefer having the noise alerts with FB be silent and occasionally have a late break or miss it altogether. Being irritated by the alarms, etc. does far more to impede my productivity than help it so FB is most useful for me personally when it is completely silent.

Hey Frank. I understand that feeling. Lots of articles have been written about it. CoShedule helps. Also, choosing obtainable goals for each day and accomplishing them (rather than just working through the day on whatever you feel like) helps get rid of that feeling.

I prefer Lightroom to Photoshop in most cases. I process most of my photos in Lightroom and only move them to Photoshop if they need to a lot of attention.

But, I still use the Photoshop workflow mentioned for things I want to do quickly, like resize photos for the About.com Snowboarding Guide, or even resizing the screenshots that I used in this blog post.

I’ve been blogging seriously for the last six months, and I just feel all over the place, without really accomplishing much at the end of the day. Going to test GoSchedule on my blog. Also a question, I’ve just recently downloaded Photoshop Lightroom. What’s your opinion on it versus Photoshop? Thanks for sharing, Matt!

Great list! I actually just started using Coschedule today and love it so far. It will save me the time of manually adding everything myself into Google Calendar and can be done right from WP which is nice 🙂
