5 Ways We Stay Organized
As a company we emphasize the importance of being organized and proactive. The global goal is to have every employee set up to execute action items and communicate effectively. Before I continue with this blog post, please note that we appreciate the human brain and believe it to be a wonderful thing (we hold weekly brainstorming sessions). We also value human interaction (we work out of an open office space that lacks individual private offices). With that being said, here is a small sample of 5 web applications that we use to stay organized:
1. Dropbox
Dropbox is an amazing utility that allows teams to share files. Using Dropbox cuts down on unnecessary dialogues (asking coworkers to send files via email or aim) and creates a central location for relevant documents. We use Dropbox to share case studies, client information, photos, videos, design work, and much more.
2. MeetingMix
MeetingMix is a nifty application that aims to improve the meeting experience. At VaynerMedia we don’t have a ton of internal meetings, but when we do, MeetingMix helps us cover topics in an efficient manner. If you didn’t know, meetings can be a waste of time.
3. Action Method
Action Method is a great application that combines to-do lists with vital reference information. I use the actions tab to keep track of tasks and the references tab for contact information and important reference documents.
4. 5pm
5pm is a project management system our design and development team has been using for VaynerMedia related projects. We have found this system to be a perfect fit in terms of how we work and how we manage client projects.
5. Google Calendar
Google Calendar is an application that I have used to manage my calendar for years. Whenever we have a new employee start at VaynerMedia we suggest they use Google Calendar. Sharing calendars has been a major help in project coordination and communication for us.
