1. Google Calendar

Let’s start with the basics. Google Calendar is a lifesaver for keeping track of all your appointments, meetings, and family activities.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, managing a work project, or just keeping track of daily chores, Trello makes it all so much easier.

3. Slack

Communication is key, especially when you’re juggling work and family life. Slack is a great tool for staying in touch with your colleagues without clogging up your email. Create channels for different projects, send direct messages, and share files effortlessly. Plus, it’s a great way to maintain that professional connection while working remotely.
