FYI – this isn’t a Top 10 list. I’m not even going to list 5 tools you must have. Let’s simplify.
I have 2 for ya today. 2 feels manageable, yes?
1) Uberconference
Look, Uberconference has changed the game in conference call land. I’ve been on many a call and they can be cumbersome to join on the attendee end and even more confusing on the host’s side. Not so on Uberconference.
Just this morning I had a call with my incredible momma warrior coach Rebecca Egbert on our new Uberconference line. She set it up, I got an email with the info and added it to my calendar, and then I got a TEXT with a clickable conference call phone number 5 minutes before the call to remind me. LOVE THAT. I just clicked on the number (ahem – no pin needed) and was connected with a lovely recorded lady telling me to hang tight ’til Rebecca showed up. It was so simple. Rebecca recorded the call for us and she got an email with the recording and call summary afterward which she promptly forwarded to me. Simple. Easy. Done.
Also, the free version is pretty robust and the next level up is only $10/month so that’s kinda badass. Change the game with your conference calls. Go Uber.
2) Awesome Screenshot
A big shout out to Suzi Istvan for showing me this one. Sometimes I can’t believe I lived without Awesome Screenshot. Does this sound like a familiar email you’ve sent to a collaborator?
“I’ve attached a screenshot to show you what I mean. Please ignore my 37 other open windows but see that one word about 3 lines down and four in…. that one, yeah…. gosh I wish I could point it out easier….”
Yeah, Awesome Screenshot fixes all of that for you. With a simple Google Chrome plugin, I click a button and can choose to capture my entire screen or just a portion of it and I can also draw on that screen capture to point out certain items I want to discuss.
It’s basically magic. Oh yeah, and it’s also FREE.

There it is. Two change-your-life kinda tools to better your Tuesday.
Now tell me, what are you using that you can’t live without? (It’s okay if your answer is Starbucks.)
