We use a time management system by Any.do, a popular time-management app. Any.do allows us to organize our workflow and tasks with easy-to-use features like lists, reminders, and calendars. Any.do is a great tool for remote and in-office employees alike. We are a fully remote company, so this really fit for us. The best feature that this app has is that you can get an overview of every project’s progress, you can check what everyone’s working on at the moment, and make sure work is ticking. It is also a great tool to keep in touch with clients, due to you can share your boards with them if you prefer.
At our company, we use Timely. We've been using this system since before we shift to remote work, and it's been incredibly successful in helping us stay organized and on track with our projects. It is very user-friendly and helps us prioritize tasks, set deadlines, and track the progress of our teams. It also allows us to collaborate with each other and allows us to see what everyone is working on at any given time. Basically, it helps keep us accountable for our work and gives us a way to stay connected with one another. We've found that Timely has been especially helpful during the transition to remote work because it's easy to see what everyone is working on and how much progress they've made. It has been the perfect solution for us, and I'm confident that it will continue to help us manage our time effectively in the future.
In this scenario, I'd go with Paymo. The software enables your staff to log time individually and categorize it as billable or non-billable. This allows you to more accurately assess their production, which will be shown as a burn-down graph at their profile level. You may also plan people for certain tasks and use a visual booking timetable to determine who is overbooked or available for future assignments. There's no need to operate in the dark and overburden your key personnel when you have a bird's-eye view of the whole team's activities. You may also export the bookings into the Timesheets section to save time on administration. It Sets time estimates to improve project time management. Teams may create time estimates for each work and subtask using Paym's time-tracking application.
We use a combination of Asana and Harvest for our time management system. We’ve been using this system for a few years now, and it’s worked really well. We’ve been able to track progress on tasks, delegate assignments, and even manage our budget. When remote work came about, we didn't have to make any drastic changes. We simply continued to use these two tools to stay organized and on track with all of our work and projects. Overall, it has been a great asset as we transitioned to remote work. It has allowed us to stay productive and organized while still giving us the freedom to work from anywhere without investing too much time or money into it.
While we use the outlook for calendar tracking but for task prioritization it has always helped me to go to basics of putting and planning your priorities/tasks sunday for the next week, month in 2x2 grid format around urgent, not urgent, important, not important and ensure there is a balance kept in each of it, once you use daily, it will give you idea how to manage, I also added to complete 5-6 tasks daily and roll-over next day and it works, in fact avoid doing multi tasking which gives better result.

Since we’re tracking multiple campaigns with dynamic timelines, we use the Kanban system to let us visualize tasks and determine stages of work progress. Today the Kanban system is integral to several task management and time tracking apps like Asana, Trello, Toggl Track, Microsoft Project, etc. As many companies shifted to remote and hybrid work models, one of the most important objectives in employee performance is self-management. No cubicles or managers are watching over your every move; thus, ensuring that your employees practice self-management skills on their own is crucial. Airtable has a nifty Kanban board with adjustable columns: tasks to be done, tasks in progress, and tasks completed. Step 4: Don’t have more than three tasks under the ‘tasks in progress’ column to avoid stress and tackle one task at a time.
We use Trello as our team management system and it's been a great tool to stay on top of projects and make sure everyone is working on the right things. It's also helped us to keep track of our social media, blog, and email marketing efforts. We find that Trello works best as a hybrid work model. For example, one of our employees works remotely but still comes into the office twice per week to do some in-person work. We have Trello boards to track what work each person is doing in-person and remotely. Having a way to keep track of both aspects of our work helps us to stay on top of things and communicate effectively with our remote employees.
