年關(guān)將至。對我來說，這是非常令人興奮的一年。截至目前，我已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)了大多數(shù)目標(biāo)。當(dāng)然，這得感謝一些好工具給我提供了不少捷徑。

這些好工具可分為三類：

1.幫我提高勞動生產(chǎn)的工具。

2.花錢少而且?guī)臀夜?jié)省時(shí)間的工具。

3.對我的業(yè)務(wù)增長有幫助的工具。

準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？讓我們開始吧：

生產(chǎn)力系統(tǒng)工具

一年多以來，我一直在遵循一個(gè)對我的業(yè)務(wù)產(chǎn)生巨大影響的系統(tǒng)。它包括三個(gè)簡單的步驟：

1.規(guī)劃正確路徑。

2.在恰當(dāng)?shù)娜兆娱_始。

3.采取行動時(shí)明確重點(diǎn)。

1. Google Docs

很棒的工具。我用它為所有自己想完成的任務(wù)做規(guī)劃。

2. Wunderlist

幫我列出進(jìn)行中的事務(wù)清單，對完成第二天的任務(wù)幫助很大。

3. Accomplish

它幫我輕松制定當(dāng)天的日程表。這是我的最佳日歷app，可以滿足我的全部需要。

4. Clear focus

要是沒有這么棒的工具協(xié)助，工作時(shí)就容易迷失重點(diǎn)。

5. 7 Min Workout app

這個(gè)app不光有普通的7分鐘鍛煉，還有各種各樣時(shí)長不同的鍛煉方式。

6. Headspace

一個(gè)很棒的工具，讓我在一整天里不停地轉(zhuǎn)換焦點(diǎn)。

7. Freedom Journal

最佳日記app之一。我喜歡的原因是它會提醒我在早上或晚上寫日記。

節(jié)省時(shí)間的工具

通常，我會在某些資源上花幾美元，目的是節(jié)省自己的時(shí)間或資源，對任務(wù)分組可以為我省下幾分鐘時(shí)間。

8. Upwork（以前叫做Odesk）

它不光是個(gè)工具，還是完成低價(jià)值任務(wù)的絕佳方法，這樣我就可以把時(shí)間花在價(jià)值較高的任務(wù)上。

9.99designs

我相信大家都知道設(shè)計(jì)工作多么耗時(shí)間。重新設(shè)計(jì)自己的logo時(shí)，我花了大把時(shí)間向設(shè)計(jì)師介紹我的愿景，但拿到的概念都不能讓我滿意，而且還占用了其他項(xiàng)目的時(shí)間。有了99designs，我就可以看到許多設(shè)計(jì)方案，從而節(jié)省大量時(shí)間。我從中選出自己喜歡的那個(gè)，要求反復(fù)修改，直到我滿意后再付錢。

10.Thrive content builder

開發(fā)一個(gè)吸引新讀者關(guān)注的設(shè)計(jì)非常困難。以前我會把這項(xiàng)工作外包給別人，但有了這個(gè)工具，我就不需要這樣做了。

11. Auto Text Expander chrome expansion

分享常見句子的絕佳工具，不需要在鍵盤上把整句都敲出來。

12. Buffer extension

可以同時(shí)在所有社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)上發(fā)東西，而不需要逐個(gè)進(jìn)行。

13. Pocket

可以把遇到的重要帖子保存下來，周末再看。

幫我做大業(yè)務(wù)的工具

一些工具可以幫你加快業(yè)務(wù)增長速度，而且不需要你投入太多精力。在這方面，這些工具今年幫了我大忙：

14. Thrive Leads

這個(gè)工具的作用是從網(wǎng)站上接收多封郵件而不需要在密碼上勞神。

15. SumoMe

它包含一系列很棒的工具。我喜歡用的是共享、內(nèi)容分析和熱點(diǎn)圖工具。我說了它是免費(fèi)的嗎？我覺得免費(fèi)版本就很好用。

16. Active Campaign

有了它的幫助，創(chuàng)作自動化和獲得新用戶和顧客變得前所未有地簡單。忘了復(fù)雜的Infusionsoft及其高昂的初始費(fèi)用和月費(fèi)吧。Active Campaign的收費(fèi)要低得多。

17. Optimizepress

之前已經(jīng)聽到了許多贊譽(yù)之詞，但最近我才開始用它。97美元的價(jià)格絕對物有所值。

18. Buzzsumo

很棒的工具，可以幫我發(fā)現(xiàn)別人在industry +里分享的熱門話題和帖子。

其他工具還有很多，以上這些則是2016年對我的業(yè)務(wù)和生活影響最大的工具。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

We’re getting closer to the end of the year. It’s been a very exciting year for me achieving most of the goals that I’ve set so far. And of course, it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of some tools that have provided great shortcuts.

The tools shared in this post fall under three categories:

Tools that helped me apply a simple productivity system.

Tools that saved me time by paying less money.

Tools that had an impact on my business growth.

Are you ready? Let’s tackle these:

Tools for my productivity system.

There is a system that I’ve been following for more than a year now that has had a great impact on my business. It’s composed of three simple steps:

Plan the right way.

Start the day right.

Take action with focus.

1. Google Docs

Google Docs: A great tool I use to do all the planning for the tasks I want to accomplish.

2. Wunderlist

Wunderlist: Helps me create to-do lists on the go and great for doing tomorrow’s to-do list.

3. Accomplish

Accomplish: It helps me easily create my schedule for the day. This is my best calendar app that suits all my needs.

4. Clear focus

Clear focus: Taking action with focus hasn’t been easier with the help of this great tool.

5. 7 Min Workout app

7 Min Workout app: Not only does this app have the normal seven minute exercise, but also it have many different variants with different durations

6. Headspace

Headspace: A gem tool that changed my focus throughout the day.

7. Freedom Journal

Freedom Journal: One of the best journals. I like their app which reminds me to write in the journal in the morning and at the evening.

Tools that saved me time.

Usually, these are resources where I pay a few dollars to save me time or resources where I could save a few minutes by grouping tasks together.

8. Upwork

Upwork (formerly known as Odesk): This is not a tool but it is a great way to get low-value tasks done leaving me time to focus on higher value tasks.

9.99designs

99designs: I’m sure you know how time-consuming design work can be. When redesigning my logo, I spent a ton of time trying to communicate my vision to designers only to receive concepts I wasn’t happy with, which ate into other projects. Using 99designs, I was able to save a lot of time because of the great amount of designs I get. I pick the one I like, ask for reiterations till I like it and then pay.

10.Thrive content builder

Having a great design that attracts the attention of new readers is very hard. I used to outsource this job, but with this tool, I don’t need to.

11.Auto Text Expander chrome expansion

Great tool to share common sentences without typing them out completely.

12.Buffer extension

?Publish on all my social networks without entering them one by one.

13.Pocket

Save important posts that come your way to read them on the weekends.

Tools that helped my business grow.

There are a few tools which help you increase your business growth without much work on your end. These are the tools that helped me do just that this year:

14.Thrive Leads

This tools helped collect more emails from my website without spending time messing with the code.

15.SumoMe

It provides you with a great set of tools. I like to use the share, content analytics and heatmap tools. Did I mention it’s free? I’m doing just fine with the free version.

16.Active Campaign

Creating automation with ease to convert new subscribers and customers has never been easier. Forget infusionsoft with its complexity and the hefty price you pay initially and monthly. You pay a fraction of that with Active Campaign.

17.Optimizepress

Started using it lately after all the buzz I heard. It deserves every penny of the $97 I paid for it.

18.Buzzsumo

Great tool to help me identify popular topics and posts in my “industry +” who are sharing it.

There are many tools out there but these are the ones that had the most impact on my business and my life so far in 2016.
