Tools to start with
The tools we recommend are easy to set-up because you don't need to install anything. All of them have a freemium model so you can start using them right away - for free.
Slack - Communication
Slack works in a browser, is easy to set-up and free. Once you reach 20k messages, you can't browser the history, but you can still use it as freely as you want.
G Suite - Online Documents
G Suite enables you to share and collaborate real-time. You can start by using your personal profile.
Whereby - Video Calls
Whereby is free for 4 participants on a call. The best thing is that people you invite they don't need to set-up anything. Just send the link. You can have one room for your organization, which is very useful.
Trello - Project management
With Trello's boards, lists, and cards you can easily organize and prioritize your projects, organization, life... you name it.
Miro - Collaboration
Have you ever dreamed about having an endless white-board to manage, create, and collaborate? Try out Miro.
Calendly - Meetings scheduling
If you want to make scheduling calls easy, try out Calendly. You can organize your time based on your routine so no one will disturb in your productive hours.
