Leave a ReplyMartech Tools are the new reality. This pandemic has been difficult to grapple with. But at the same time, it has forced us to go digital and make us understand that processes can work virtually too. I should check out the Trello platform. Have read a lot of good reviews about it elsewhere. Notion is an app that I use too. It helps you stay organised and collaborate with colleagues at work or friends and family.
