I'm a lay person in this world, but with all the AI search tech going on, it feels like there should be an email provider that has better search than Google. But as far as I can tell (from trying a bunch of them) nothing can.Am I completely missing something? Is there something out there?
I guess my only hesitation is that I’ve tried having this sort of resolve before, and then something changed (no idea what - the weather, my workload, my mood, my kids sleep patterns, or something) and I slipped back into this pattern of migrating my email around to different services. So I guess I’m shopping for evidence or reasoning to help me both decide to not care, and to remember not to care when things change again.
I spend a lot of time reading about and trialling alternatives to popular services to try to protect my privacy online, but it’s a struggle, because typically it costs more money to have privacy (like paying for things like Protonmail) and the services tend to be less full featured (like Protonmail, which is not even close to the same experience as Gmail).So now rather than continuing to spiral...
I’m a creative freelancer (music composer, audio producer, sound designer, writer) and I am sick of making so much less money than everyone else (and interest rate rises are highlighting my issue for me).I’ve been reading around to find out what sort of jobs I might re-train for in IT/tech more broadly, and I’m wondering what you’d recommend. I have no coding experience, so would be starting...
I'm a creative freelancer, and I tend to do two x 3 hour sessions of work each day. At the moment I just create a 3 hour event in the morning and name it 'Client X' and another in the afternoon called 'Client Y'. I'm just finding it to be a clunky way of scheduling my time. I've tried services like Cushion and Harvest Forecast before, and both were good but overkill for what I need (way more...
I'm frequently creating timelines to help illustrate how i'll complete work when bidding for jobs as a freelancer, and i've taken to doing them in a spreadsheet. This is because i'm finding that all the apps I can find that can make a timeline (Notion, Clickup, etc) need the timeline to be attached to dates. However, I need to make timelines for projects with no start date (as they're...
I’ve been searching for an app to enhance my planning and reporting as a creative freelancer, and I feel like Neo at the start of the Matrix at this point. So much searching.Currently I just plan my days with time blocks in my calendar (using iCloud for what it’s worth). When I need to invoice a client I then just have to go through the calendar weeks and note the blocks for that client...
I use Harvest for invoicing my freelance clients, but also want to use something a bit better than a calendar. I'm currently using Forecast, which Harvest makes, but like EVERYTHING else in the productivity/business world it's made for teams. I'm looking for apps that are designed for freelancers.Anything?
As a freelancer in a creative field, I'd love to be able to schedule my work in day or half day blocks across different projects and to have flexible views of my schedule. It seems the trends in new calendar/scheduling apps are either team stuff, automating stuff, etc. So I recognise there probably isn't huge demand for what I'm after, but the possibility of seeing my iCloud calendar and my...
