Hi everyone, itís Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. In todayís video tutorial, I want to show
you my three top productive and time saving tools that I use in my business. And, Iíve
been getting a lot of people asking me this question, ìHow can I save a lot of things
being mobile and save it all online?î So, I thought letís just look at really good
applications that I use day to day and it helps me save everything. The reason being
is just in case you lost your laptop or you might lose your data on your laptop, everything
will be backed up or saved online. Therefore, allowing you to have the so-called paperless
office.
For me, I try to keep everything at a minimum so thatís why I try to have all my papers
and everything like notes and stuff like that I put online. All right, letís have a look.
The first thing I want to show you today is the software called Evernote which you can
go to www.evernote.com and itís a really, really neat piece of tool. Itís an online-based
tool but you can also install it by from PC and also Mac, it also allows you have desktop
application. The reason behind Evernote is that what happens is that anything that you
want to capture either via camera, via scan document or even capturing onto from a website,
you can put it all into Evernote. Youíll never ever have to write everything down as
it allows you to put all online for free. So to download Evernote, all you have to do
is just click on here, it says ìDownload nowî. Iím going to show you a quick demo
of how it works and how easy it is.
Letís say for example, I want to save a little blog post on Evernote. So Iíll go to my blog.
All right, letís go straight to the bottom, say for example down here. Say for example,
Iím wanting to save all these texts that are here that you can see. With Evernote,
once Evernote has been installed, just open it up and go to Clip Screenshot into Evernote,
and what itíll do is itíll ask you to drag a proportion of it and select that. So Iíll
select that whole area I want to save. Once Iíve done that, Iíll click Okay. In a few
seconds, youíll have it snipped straight into Evernote and itís all saved online.
There you go, you can see right there.
So, instead of saving a whole website or whole page, you can just snip off whatever you need
to be saved and you can put that all in that. Weíll just save it as PLF 3.0. Also, the
great thing about this piece of software is it allows you to search in between. For example,
if I was to type in Jeff Walker as a search term, Evernote knows how to search inside
your notes and find exact information. Therefore, it makes it so easy to be able to find and
search for data and you wonít have any lose notes lying around. So Iíll save this as
well.
Letís say for example, I want to search 4-Hour Work Week, so Iíll type it up here on the
side and there you go as you can see, it comes up straight away. Anything we say Youtube
on it, did you see that? Bang, it comes straight up. Thatís how easy it is. I love this little
piece of software because you can store lots and lots of stuff inside Evernote and therefore
you wonít have to store it in a piece of paper. If youíve got a scanner, just scan
all the documents in there. Ideally, what I would use Evernote for is to scan all the
documents that you donít need to be kept in a folder anymore. Put it all in Evernote
and it allows to be stored in there and then it allow you to search it through. So this
is a really, really neat tool and easy to use tool that you can use everyday so check
it out.
The next piece that I highly recommend and I use everyday is LastPass. LastPass is an
automatic password filler for you. Itís the best application that you can find that will
save all those rather than saving into spreadsheet or saving into anything else like another
software, itís just so much easy. What youíll find is say for example if you want to add
in your password to access your Gmail account, or anything that requires a log in and a password,
this will automatically fill in for you. All you have to do is simply just download LastPass
here. What will happen is that once itís downloaded or installed its application right
here, and once itís installed onto your browser, itíll help you fill in your passwords. Iíll
show you how easy it is right now and Iíll log into just a sample account.
So Iím going to log right into say for example my Google account here, all I have to do is
just press the Up and Down key, it allows me to scroll through all the usernames and
passwords which it fits right. Once youíve done that and youíre happy with that, all
you have to do is simply click Sign in. What happens is that, itíll automatically sign
you and what happens is that it will automatically sign you in and therefore you donít have
to remember everything which is good in so many ways and also much more productive and
fast. All you need is just one main password which is asked when you log in from your browser.
Thatís all you have to do! This is a time, productive saving tool and you just need to
install this if youíre going to be keeping all your passwords and everything all saved
in one location.
The next tool that Iím going to show you is called Freedom. Freedomís an awesome little
piece of software. If youíre like me who gets distracted quite easily from the Internet,
I can guarantee you that this software will stop you from doing that. Freedom is a software
which restricts access to your Internet browser and network access to anything and it allows
you just to focus solely on the tasks that youíre doing right now. Say for example,
if you need to crank out and write an article which takes you an hour, two hours to write
out or less than that, Freedom blocks off any Internet access, any network access so
that you donít get distracted. And, the only way for you to access the Internet again is
for you to reboot your computer. Now, itís a bit frustrating if youíre in the middle
of a task and then you have to get access to the Internet because you need to browse
for something or you just want to procrastinate, then reboot is really annoying so it forces
you to continue to stay productive and focus on your work.
You can have it scheduled up to anywhere up to 180 minutes or even 8 hours it says here
so 480 minutes. You can download this just directly here by a Mac version and also Windows
XP or Windows 7 version. Just install it onto your computer. For the trial version, it allows
you to use it for up to five times, and then after that, you just have to pay for the full
version which is only 10 bucks. So for something that will save your time and productivity,
this is an excellent piece of software that Iíve been using myself as well to stop me
from hopping onto the Internet and just focus on what I need to do. This is great for writing
articles or great for doing anything that you need to focus your productivity on.
So, give it a go. These are the three top tools that I recommend to give it a trial
out because these things really, really help increase the productivity in my business.
Watch for the next video, Iíll be showing you more tools that Iíve got that will help
you increase and also save your time as well. Hopefully, youíve liked these tools that
Iíve recommended. These are just so far the top three that Iíve got here. If youíve
