IN THIS EPISODE

Readwise. Readwise makes it easy to revisit and learn from your ebook & article highlights. Sync your highlights from Kindle, Instapaper, Pocket, iBooks, and more. You can review the best parts with their email summaries and it also improves your recall through repetition and reminders. It also has a really nifty share feature that creates images from your highlights for social media (see example above)
ClickUp. My preferred project management tool of choice. Simplify your work and get more done. The app combines to do lists with documents, whiteboards, dashboards, templates, automation and so much more. Get started for free.
From To-Do to Done: How to Go from Busy to Productive by Mastering Your To-Do List. Excellent book by Maura Thomas on how to manage your tasks. I really like the author’s system for organizing and prioritizing tasks. Another tip I’ve adopted from this book is to highlight my completed tasks on my paper list instead of crossing them out. Gives you a better sense of accomplishment.
TextExpander. I love, love, love this tool. TextExpander lets you create customizable snippets of text that allow your team to fly through repetitive tasks quickly by expanding the things you type regularly. I use this for everything from social media hashtags, to email signatures to chasing payment from customers!

But.. finding a good chrome extension is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Until now. Listen to this episode of The KAM Club podcast to find out my favourite extensions to improve your workflow (and life).
