Question 1

What is the best online planner?

Accepted Answer

Friday of course! We're biased, but Friday is a leading choice. Here's why:  1. See your meetings, tasks, and routines for the day or week, pulled from tools you already use. Friday collects information from all these apps so that you can focus on being productive.  2. Receive a daily agenda notification that summarizes what's ahead 3. See your task list in every new tab and block distracting websites with the Chrome extension 4. Block off time to focus and automatically go into do-not-disturb mode in Slack 5. Integrate your work in one place so that you can have a clear sense of what you need to accomplish. It's free to get started.  Check out this post for more online planner comparisons.

Question 2

How do you organize your work online?

Accepted Answer

The reality is that there are so many tools that have a lot of different functions. If you're like us, we needed something that took one step back and created a solid foundation for the most important things at work.  That's why at Friday, we've created an online organizer & planner that integrates seamlessly with the tools you're already familiar with. We're not a task management tool--in fact, we integrate with several of the leading tools to help you.  Connect your tasks to the Friday planner and then check them off your list. Click into the task in the Friday planner and leave comments and specific project details.  Join video meetings in Zoom or Google Meet. The meeting will appear in your planner and then you click over to join.Right inside Friday.  Do you have goals and a company handbook too? Friday has a place for that.  What about meeting routines? We also have work routines to provide status updates for daily standups, weekly check-ins, and one-on-ones. Or set up your own prompts to reflect on your work.  This has been the best system we have found to organize work online.  Friday is a complete asynchronous remote operating system. We are always adding integrations. Here's the current list: Calendar apps: Google Calendar Outlook Task management apps: Todoist Microsoft To Do Clickup Asana Trello Developer tools: Github Gitlab Jira We will be adding more apps shortly. Feel free to drop us a note if you'd like us to add another app!
