Simple Project Management Software is not perfect!
I just read the newest post from Gina Trapani on the Harvard Business blog. She makes a good point that sometimes it just makes sense to pick up the phone and deal with an issue directly. We are in the business of online project management software. As such, you might expect me to preach that everything should be tracked and maintained through the centralized trusted system for project work – Pelotonics.

There is …

Once you get over the whole “Who wants to know what I had for breakfast?” hang-up, you realize hot social networking application Twitter is massively useful for individuals as well as organizations. All of us at Pelotonics Twitter individually, but didn’t have a good way to coordinate updates and replies to the @Pelotonics account. Until CoTweet, that is.

Chunking with online project management software
Chunking is a great concept that I use to make sure that I complete my projects when things get overwhelming. When your task list seems insurmountable, try chunking it into smaller portions that you sprint to completion in a vaacume. I set up a “Chunk List” in Pelotonics and use that as my base of operations for the day.

I personally choose three items at a time that I can complete in about 2 – 3 …

I recently was asked the question: “How do I forward my emails to the Pelotonics online project management software system?”

What a great question! I can’t believe that we have not highlighted this before. Everyone on the Pelotonics system can have a “drop box” of sorts by working with the Evernote integration. Once you enable the integration, you will be able to copy emails out of your Outlook with the click of a button OR forward emails into your account by …

I am using Fire Fox as my browser and Readability is a toolbar item that when clicked will provide you with a view of a web page MINUS all of the clutter.

Tax season just passed here in America. I think that everyone is relieved it is over, but still reeling from the pain. I have a friend that owns an outsourced accounting business and she had a scary experience this tax season. One of her key employees quit right when they were in the thick of tax preparation for all of their clients! This is probably the worst case scenario, but definitely not unheard of in a business situation….
