Working from home these days? You’re not the only one! Here are seven different tools that we’d recommend for your office to maximize your productivity as we all adjust to digital workflows for a while.
Danny:
Hey, you working remotely these days? Well, we've got some tools that we use internally that we wanted to share with you on how to make your life a little bit easier when you have to work virtually.
Okay, so remote work, working virtually, obviously a lot of companies doing it right now. So we've got a list of tools, things we want to be able to share.

David:
Tools we use.

Danny:
Tools we actually use ourselves. So this is a little bit... For these companies, yes they are paying us. They're sending us checks in the mail. I'm just kidding.

David:
I wish.

Danny:
Totally kidding.

David:
Do we have any affiliate links?

Danny:
I don't know if you have any–

David:
To help support IndustrialSage.

Danny:
You know what? We don't have any affiliate links or anything on this. We're doing this just because we want to be able to share with people, just share with us some of the tools that we're using, see that you guys might be able to find them valuable, and to be able to help, particularly for those people that haven't had to do this, and I'm sure there's some tools in there, you're like, "Oh, I'd never heard of that. That's pretty cool." So ...

David:
Yeah, exactly.

Danny:
So I want to jump into that. Okay, so let's talk about it. So one of the things that we use right out the gate, we'll talk about email. Everybody has email obviously. So this isn't going to be a big thing, but we're big G Suite users, so Gmail, right?

David:
Gmail. Makes it easy.

Danny:
It makes it very easy and it's tied into everything. So we'll use Google Drive, we'll use obviously the Gmail, we use the calendars, which is great. And that's probably, I mean there's a few... We use anything else there?

David:
Yeah, we use Google Sheets.

Danny:
Oh yeah. Well I consider that part–

David:
Massive collaboration.

Danny:
I guess I consider that part of Google Drive, but yeah, I guess you're right. Sheets, slides...

David:
Word.

Danny:
Word. Yeah, that's true.

David:
Or actually, it's Docs. Google Docs.

Danny:
Google docs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's not Word, Microsoft Word.

David:
We could do G Suite, but Office 365...

Danny:
Yeah, that's true. That would be a competitor...

David:
It’s the equivalent.

Danny:
Yeah, we would look at the equivalent. Yeah. So I mean, look, we lost... One of the things that I really love about G Suite, not that we're in a love fest about all these things. It's just the amount of integrations though that we're able to connect with all kinds of different things. G Suite will connect into a lot of these other tools and I'm looking at that we have, if not all of them, most of them. I think actually all of them they connect–

David:
Really well.

Danny:
So that's a nice thing. But yeah sure, like Office 365 probably does all that too.

David:
It's a lot of collaboration tools within the G Suite or Office 365. So being able to collaborate on the same document at the exact same time where normally maybe in a meeting someone has it pulled up on their laptop and y...
