#Strawclip

If you want to focus, you must ensure you have no distractions. One area I find many struggle with is the amount of tab/app switching they do.

Simplicity is something we all strive to possess, but as we work and find ways to make our business work more efficiently, we lose sight of that focus.

I used to run a business in the past with a minimal amount of ‘tech’. And when I say ‘tech’ I mean Rolodex, pen and paper! So for me having a tool like Basecamp is equivalent to that, but quicker, simpler and easier.

Now that Basecamp has moved to a per-user pricing model, I think this is the best time for many single-user/small businesses to look into it to see how they can save time and money by implementing it into their workflow.

Yesterday, Basecamp pushed an update with some handy tools. A most welcomed feature is called Lineup, where now you can add start and end dates to projects, and they show up on the Home Page.

Having a calm workflow will help with the communication between you and your team or client. Why? Because it’ll help you communicate with context about the project, so nothing gets lost in a ‘conveyor belt’ of instant messages or email threads, that often get lost.

This is the last video in my Basecamp series that I made this week, where I'm walking through a few features I'd like to touch on that are great features that complement the tools within Basecamp.

How many apps and tools do you use in the running of your business or project? You'll find you can minimise your tool stack and simplify it all by understanding what it is you need. In this episode, I walk through how Basecamp can be the replacement for many of the tools you're using.

In this episode, I walk through Basecamp permissions and how simple they are when adding team members and outside collaborators and clients.

In today's Basecamp video, I walk through 3 features that I think make Basecamp an excellent tool for Tech Minimalism and how these features can calm your workflow.

In today's video, I talk about the reasons I chose Basecamp to run my business on, but also some background on how Tech Minimalism and Basecamp can be used to simplify your workflow.

Both Basecamp and Notion are amazing apps. However, they do things quite differently, and if you're thinking between the two, I know what I would choose. With today's rush for working remotely, we don't have the time to 'play' with tools and apps. We need to get a tool that works for us out of the box. In today's episode, I do a quick walkthrough of what I think is the best choice.

Yesterday Jason Fried, the Founder & CEO of Basecamp, Tweeted about a new email service called Hey which will be released in April.

Earlier this week I spoke about my workflow and an experiment I was working on with my agenda. Well today, I share it all! In today’s (longer) video, I go through my Basecamp workflow and how I ‘live’ in my Calendar more than in my email.
