12 tools to improve manager productivity (Part 1)

Through the support of modern applications, managers can manage their work and time effectively, at the same time increase productivity while still taking a reasonable break.

Human’s time and energy are finite, that’s the truth. You cannot have more than 24 hours a day and your body no matter how strong you need to rest. Therefore, 24/7 continuous work has never been a sustainable working method.

However, the desire to increase your productivity and efficiency in the new year is completely justifiable and achievable. Let’s learn about CEOs using these 16 awesome tools below. These are the effective assistants to help CEOs be admirable in their productivity and performance.

Communication and information tool

1. Slack

For many CEOs, Slack is still the simplest way to communicate with their teams in the process. Jessica O. Masthews – CEO of Uncharted Power shared: “I really like Slack. It helps us significantly reduce the amount of emails we send to each day and allows us to exchange information extremely quickly and easily. This is a highly effective communication tool.”

To-do tracker

2. Evernote

Evernote is Matthews’ number 1 tool to keep track of things to do. Matthews shared: “I like to make my to-do list longer than the actual amount of work I can do in a day. This helps me never feel satisfied with myself to motivate myself to develop and improve more”.

3. Google Calendar

Nicole Centeno, CEO of Slam Spoon, shared, “I like Google Calender more than most other business organizing apps, because it allows me to prioritize meetings or tasks I want.”

Workflow management tool

4. Asana

Asana is considered a very flexible, interesting and useful tool. Asana allows you to use the list in a “smarter” way and can organize the order of different projects. You can work in groups easily without email. Currently, many large companies and corporations have put Asana as a tool to help their projects and CEOs not to miss this interesting application.
