Managing Projects
For office managers, facilities executives, and admins there's no end in sight for the mountains of tasks they manage. At AAA many of our departments rely on Trello to drag and drop high priority projects into boards, checklists, and cards. Because things move so fast around here, the Trello extension makes adding a new project and task to individual boards and lists a breeze. If you're familiar with Google, you'll have no problem getting started. Optimizing works flows and ensuring nothing falls between the cracks, you’ll be well on your way to being a Trello-ist in no time!

Maintaining Momentum
Assigning a task is easy; completing the project in time is tough! Pioneered by Francesco Cirillo, the Pomodoro Technique is a time management system for hitting those big deadlines. Rather than working nonstop, it encourages you to take mini breaks. If you hate tracking your breaks by hand, the Marinara: Pomodoro Timer automates the process through your browser.

The free version checks practically everything you open in Chrome and offers suggestions to improve word choice and readability. An absolute must for those who write for a living.
Caught something on your company site that needs fixing? It can be hard to adequately describe to site managers and IT what's causing a fuss. Capture full-screen snapshots with QSnap. With it, you can even write in-line notes to call out specific areas. Lost in translation? That doesn’t happen anymore with QSnap.
