Have you ever been looking for a software that does something similar to Google Tools, only to be frustrated when you can’t find it? Maybe this isn’t the case if you are just starting out and prefer to try things out on your own, but later in your career, when you already have a staff, worries about supporting legacy software might become a waste of time. However, there are still alternatives for those of us who want our spreadsheets to be done after we’re dead by bots gone by our grandkids! Google Tasks is a task management tool created by Google that does a lot of the same things as Google tools, albeit at a higher price. Besides being able to collect your tasks from Gmail or through your gmail calendar, Google also has an interface on their actual website for creating and collaborating on tasks. I actually use this offline app when I need my spreadsheets on iOS devices that are disconnected from the internet all day (I have friends at work who cannot connect them to the internet for most of their work day!)
Dropbox – A cloud storage app, meaning it stores files on servers rather than directly on your particular device. You can share that file with one computer connected to the internet as long as its Dropbox folder is also connected; however, you can also only access files on that folder offline when the connection is not working. This is nice for traveling photographers when you pick up a new camera and need to bring your iPad with all of your great San Fran photos. The Paper app
Google’s Project
Google has many different projects that it operates and manages. One of those is Google’s Project. This project started in 2007 to fund open source software that advanced technology users are using
Google’s Project. To find the complexity of some specific technology, Project can then churn out a spectrum of tools, functionalities, and libraries that make them really easy to get used to using during a newer setting with new set up changes… Especially considering the open source community of users who have taken and continued to take other liberties with these projects within their projects that they have created.
Others develop ventures around Google technologies in a variety of areas by developing applications and devices that can leverage and benefit from using those APIs. Some example tools built on top of those APIs at this point include SMS Manager and Yardstick for managing contacts… Like Bridge for globally adding contacts to each application’s address book if you want it, which is a free app
Google Tools
Google work spaces are websites or applications that are set up by Google to help users be more productive. It might resemble a Gmail inbox, but it can also include Google Docs, Zoho sheets, Slides presentations, and other office programs. They offer professionals a multiplicity of ways to collaborate on projects with one another and other internet users. Collabspace is Google’s project management platform and is a popular workspace tool. The difference between what you are allocated in a collabspace vs. your individual project or form the workspace is that you will not receive credit for work done in the space – but there will be contact information available for collaborators and comments on the tasks completed throughout the project.. My two favorites are Google Docs and Zoho sheets. I use them both for daily work so having them connected to my calendar is seamless. Google Docs makes it easy for me to create documents, tables, lists and calendarsall the way down to tasksheets which is especially useful when I’m on the road working remotely with clients.
Zoho sheets allow teams to share files, process data and collaborate in real time – which is exactly what you need when you
Conclusion
The design of google tools such as a doodle, search results, and polls really shows that google aspires to be a one-stop destination that includes content types other than webpages. true to its self description, google is becoming an intelligent service provider of a broad variety of knowledge to consumers through resources such as a mobile platform, search engine and other social media products.
Your gut instinct may tell you that your long drive should be filled with engaging activities but that notion can lead you to fall into the trap of “chasing busyness”. The truth is you need to cut out the chatter, work toward simplifying your life and increase mindfulness so that you are not in a constant state of stress and busyness. No matter how busy you get it usually is not really that important in the grand scheme of your life. The net benefit from “cutting back” on unnecessary challenges (e.g., driving or managing timelines) is pretty substantial for most people when considering the alternative is to constantly feel stressed about them. (This happens depending on your lifestyle.)
