7 Work Productivity Tools to Help You Get Things Done

January 4, 2021 by Naomi Assaraf

A summary of all the things you accomplished with cloudHQ productivity tools in 2020.

In normal years, we work diligently to create, release, and improve work productivity tools so you can create better results with less effort.

Now, I know I don’t have to tell you this, but 2020 was not a normal year.

Across every metric, we saw customers turn to cloudHQ tools to help them organize, prioritize, and execute their daily tasks.

Like weightlifting or endurance training, it’s good to check the numbers every now and then. For this article, we wanted to take a moment and recap everything our customers accomplished with cloudHQ’s work productivity tools in 2020.

1. Over 2.4 Million Marketing Emails Sent

MailKing—our easy as pie tool for turning your Gmail account into a full-featured marketing email campaign platform—we saw big jumps in usage in 2020.

In total, 13,000+ users created 220,000 campaigns using the MailKing—totaling over 2.4 million emails sent throughout the year.

2. 1.8 Million Emails Tracked

Email tools became even more important in 2020 as consumers and businesses adjusted to working, living, and shopping from home.

To navigate the economic impacts of the pandemic, companies also looked to cost-effective tools to increase productivity.

Following those trends, we saw the impact of those changes in the usage numbers for Free Email Tracker.

After installing the tracking tool, users could easily track if recipients had opened or clicked on the links within their emails.

3. Over 1.3 Million Emails Exported to Google Sheets

Over 21,000 users installed and used Export Emails to Google Sheets in 2020, more than doubling the usage numbers from 2019 for this cloudHQ productivity tool.

Some users set it up for a one-time export of their emails for archiving or data analysis.

By contract, others set up the tool to continuously export emails using a tracking spreadsheet to monitor email data in near real time.

In total, more than 1.3 million emails were exported to a Google Sheet using Export Emails to Google Sheets.

4. Over 1 Million Emails Sent With Gmail Email Templates

It was a big year for Gmail Email Templates.

Over 158,000 Gmail users installed or used the tool at some point last year, sending well over 1 million total emails using one of our templates.

In December, we released a major design update to Gmail Email Templates. The new template builder makes it much easier to design and send beautifully designed emails straight from your Gmail.

5. 950,000+ Emails Saved to PDF

One of the easiest work productivity tools to use—Save Emails to PDF also saw major growth compared to 2019.

Throughout the year, over 115,000 users used the tool to save over 950,000 individual emails to PDFs.

6. 50,000+ Labels Shared in Gmail

In 2020, over 12,000 users installed and used Gmail Label and Email Sharing to share over 50,000 individual labels within Gmail.

As a result, users gained the ability to share emails and attachments, assign tasks, track the status of their hiring process, monitor support emails, and sell as a team—all without leaving Gmail!

7. 20,000+ Unique Email Signatures Created

Finally, personalization and customization was another major trend in 2020, one we expect to continue in 2021 and beyond.

Following that trend, 12,000+ Gmail users created over 20,000 unique email signatures using our Free Email Signature Generator work productivity tool.

This gave them the ability to better match their email signature to unique email situations they faced throughout their day.

How to Set Goals for 2021 with 10 Simple Productivity Resolutions

December 28, 2020 by Naomi Assaraf

The end of 2020 is upon us! Here are 10 ways to set goals for 2021 as you plan for the new year.

The end of 2020 is here! As we set goals for 2021 and make productivity resolutions, a quick review of 2020 can give us some perspective.

This year, everyone learned to Zoom—some more successfully than others:

Remote learning went from an option to a requirement—with mixed results:

Parents got creative:

Ann—all joking aside—there was an immense amount of tragedy.

We’re no different than you. We’re ready to put 2020 behind us.

As we look forward to 2021, here are a few productivity resolutions we’re considering as we set goals for 2021.

1. Explore Remote Opportunities That May Not Have Been Available Before

LinkedIn Remote Opportunities to set goals for 2021

COVID destroyed the notion that you have to be in an office to be productive.

Major players like Facebook, Slack, Twitter, and Shopify have announced that remote work will be a major part of their workforce even after the pandemic has ended.

Countless other companies are planning a similar approach.

What does this mean for you?

It means there are thousands of remote job opportunities that simply didn’t exist before.

If you haven’t taken a look, go see what’s out there!

In LinkedIn, for example, you can search for a job title and then check the “Remote” box to find remote positions.

2. Make Time for Yourself

I know some of you are stuck at home by yourself. Others of you have spent entirely too much time with spouses, children, siblings, parents, or roommates.

Whatever your situation, there’s a difference between staying at home and intentionally taking time for renewal.

As you set goals for 2021, here’s one to consider that’s easy.

Make a goal to spend one hour a week doing something non-work-related that renews you.

It could be as simple as taking a long bath or a long walk to get out of the house.

Put this time on your calendar as a recurring meeting, and don’t miss it!

3. Take a Social Media Vacation

Social media is great for keeping up with friends and family.

It’s also good for a laugh or two—if you’re following the right people.

Numerous studies have also found that spending too much time on social media leaves many people feeling unhappy.

If you need a break from social media, take one and don’t feel guilty about it!

Try to take at least a week off from a platform so you can break the habit of checking your notifications all the time.

4. Adopt a Retrospective Practice

A “retrospective” is an idea we stole from the world of Agile software development. It’s actually just one of many practices they’ve developed that we could use for productivity resolutions.

Once a week, sit down and ask yourself the following three questions:

In the last week, what went well?
In the last week, what didn’t go well?
What could I improve this week?

Take notes when you answer these questions, then review your notes next week when you sit down for another retrospective.

This iterative process is a fantastic method for making small changes that can add up to a big positive impact over time.

5. Stop Multitasking

The research is clear: Multitasking destroys productivity.

For example, one study found that it took participants an average of 23 minutes to refocus on a task after being distracted.

That’s 23 minutes of waste!

If you’re working at home, there are even more distractions than usual, so this one might take some extra work. A things you can do to help are:

Turn on “Do not disturb” on your computer and any device that’s in the room with you—including your smartwatch.
Put your phone, tablet, and TV remote in the other room.
Close all tabs and programs on your computer before starting a task.
Turn the “Busy” or “Do Not Disturb” light on in Slack or Skype.
Use the Pomodoro technique to break your work into small tasks so you can stay focused.

6. Start a “Don’t Do” List

As you set goals for 2021, one practial area to consider is your to-do lists.

We all make to-do lists. But what about the tasks we need to do—just not today. Those tasks should go on a “don’t do” list.

The outline for that book you want to write?

It’s important. But unless you’re a full-time writer, it’s probably not as important as many of the other things you need to get done today.

Probably not a task for today.

To make a “don’t do” list:

Make your to-do list as your normally would.
Prioritize it.
Remove all tasks that you know you shouldn’t spend time on today.
Put them on your “don’t do” list

That way they don’t stay on your list demanding your attention.

You haven’t forgotten those tasks. You’re just not going to do them today.

7. Be Less of a Perfectionist

Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life.
-Anne Lamott

Breaking the perfectionism habit might be one of the more difficult productivity resolutions we have on this list, but it’s also one of the best.

It’s good to be committed to quality. But perfectionism takes quality and turns it into anxiety.

It’s not good to get stuck—to go over a project again and again after you’ve completed it—tweaking and adjusting and editing.

If you’re good at what you do, B+ work for you will look like A+ work to the people you work with.

As the old saying goes, “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.”

8. Schedule Time for Your Major Tasks

I usually have one or two major items each day that I need to get done—along with all the other things that are bound to come up as the day goes along.

If I’m not careful, I’ll spend my entire day responding to emails or social media messages and never take the time to get my primary tasks done for the day.

As you set goals for 2021, here’s a strategy you can steal: Schedule your major tasks on your calendar—just like you schedule your meetings.

When it’s on the calendar, I know I have a set time to complete that one task, and it keeps me focused until I get it done.

Try it for yourself!

9. Plan a Trip!

It appears (if all goes well!) that we’ll be able to travel again by the second half of 2021.

Taking a week of vacation and going on a trip where you completely disconnect from work is one of the best things you can do for your productivity.

You may not be able to travel today, but you can certainly start planning your next trip.

Start looking at destinations now that you could visit later in the year!

10. Automate Everything Using cloudHQ’s Free Productivity Apps

Finally, as part of your productivity resolutions, check out the 70+ free productivity applications we offer here at cloudHQ.

If you use Gmail or your email is business email is hosted with G Suite, you can have one-click access to:

All of that and so much more.

Wishing You the Best for 2021!

Whether you’re making productivity resolutions or not as you set goals for 2021, we wish you the very best for 2021.

Best Wishes as you Set Goals for 2021!

Tricks and treats for sending your customers ghoulish Halloween emails

We know that an email template is a great place to start, but we understand that you might also need a little more help to get this off the ground. That’s why we created two more email applications for you: (1) an email list builder, and (2) a professional email marketing campaign application.

1. Email List Builder

Don’t have an email list? Don’t worry. You can use Email List Builder by cloudHQ to identify every single email address that you have in your Gmail account and automatically organize it for you into a Google Sheets spreadsheet. It’s the perfect solution to get you started.

2. Email campaign management

Surely, you can send out your Halloween email as a BCC to all of your customers. However, for a little more sophistication, start using a professional email campaign management tool like MailKing. It’s an excellent way to send an email blast about your Halloween sale to your mailing list.

Back-to-School Isn’t Just for Kids

August 27, 2019 by Naomi Assaraf

One of the toughest challenges businesses face is how to efficiently scale. Back-To-School season is a perfect opportunity to refresh your business approach to increase productivity and growth. Luckily, there are a few simple productivity improvements that can deliver a major impact to your business.

Ask yourself:

How do you schedule meetings currently?
Is it time-consuming (and a bit frustrating) to trade emails back and forth with colleagues and clients simply to find a time in common?
Do you know how much time you spend reading and writing emails?
Whether it’s internal emails, or having to reply back to customers or contractors, most people don’t know how much time they actually spend in their inbox. But they should.
How do you communicate with your clients and prospects?
Do you stay in touch with them regularly so that they are thinking of you and your business?

If the response to these questions makes you frown, cloudHQ creates savvy Gmail add-on extensions to give you back time spent on email-related tasks, and provides you the polish that your clients respect.

1. Scheduling Meetings with One Click

First up, is the Meeting Scheduler for Gmail. By adding this Google Chrome extension, a simple link will replace the handful of emails it takes to find shared meeting availability with clients or colleagues.

Since this scheduler is integrated directly into Gmail, there is no duplicate calendar to manage. All the meeting attendees are clearly visible, revisions translate to the recipient seamlessly and the time zones automatically synchronize.

2. Enhance Your Emails and Delight Your Audience

The second tool in the arsenal is Gmail™ Email Templates. This will allow you to create and send polished-looking emails directly from Gmail. While the entire G Suite of services are great for business, the email format can be quite limiting. Fortunately, you do not have to become an email marketing expert to reflect the quality content that your company deserves. It is easy to use for the most novice marketer.

While you may want to use any of cloudHQ’s email templates from its extensive library, the incredible feature that most people love is that you can actually use any email as a template that got sent to you—even your competitor’s email. Once you receive an email, you can copy it with just 1 click, and edit out the text and images to suit your own needs.

3. Get Information Out of Gmail and in a Spreadsheet

And lastly, the Export Emails to Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets is the unsung hero of the three. My grandfather used to say that you can run any business with Excel and email, and he was right. Many business owners, recruiters, and project managers are getting so much information being thrown at them in their emails, that they aren’t able to make accurate sense of them because it’s just too overwhelming.

Yet, if you want to be a successful business owner, you need to instantly know what everything looks like at all times: bills, invoices, customer contact information, customer feedback, project delivery dates. Your finger needs to be on the pulse of everything at all times.

We understand that, and made it easy for you to cut out the noise with this add-on that is by far, the best possible add-on that any entrepreneur needs to have in their “must-have” arsenals. Now, you can create a spreadsheet in seconds with the exact information you want to see, like that crucial morning report—only you can have it served to you any time of day, or in real time as it updates.

Gone are the days where people need to be part of an enterprise business in order to run like one. Today, you can rejuvenate your business strategy to increase productivity for greater scale. This Back-to-School season, the folks at cloudHQ help you focus on what matters most by making light work of the rest.
