As many of you know, I’m a work at home mom who operates as a consultant, ad sales manager for Mashable, and soon-to-be startup founder all from one single Dell laptop which I use as a desktop. Having a home office is both a blessing and a curse; the ability not to commute makes my life easier and saves me about 3-4 hours per day. However, that also means I’m working from morning until night. While some would like to have a defined 9-5 schedule, I do not, and I actually thrive in this environment.
Here is a good blog post outlining Tamar Weinberg's tools for a productive business and personal life. Her list is quite extensive and while I am familiar with most of the tools, I would liek to add the following;
1) Producteev or Podio for project management (I also like Smartsheet)
2)Mindmanager and Personal Brain - cannot live without these
3) I use Netvibes versus Google Reader
4) I use Box.net versus Dropbox
5) Gotta have Evernote
