Sergey Koshevoy · Answer

I like organizing tasks visually and heavily rely on block scheduling, which lets me set dedicated focus times throughout the day. I used to use Google Calendar for that, but I like the idea of limiting apps I use so I switched my personal planning to Planyway as the whole team works there. I just have a personal board for only my tasks not related to work directly.

No tool!

Focus on doing one strategic and important thing, and handling important and urgent immediately. Then saying no to the rest.

We use minite. It's a Voice AI-supported project management app, with a personalized AI companion at the core.

We built the app to support our VA teams, and it's been a great tool for our leadership team too.

We're actually so happy with it that we'll be formally releasing it to the public as a SaaS offering. Launching on here in a few days.
