00:00:56

and you can remove access to them whenever you decide to do so.

The traditional Google Drive,

OneDrive,

00:02:36

Dropbox to store files online and share them with your teams or clients.

00:02:42

Trello,

00:02:43

which I love,

00:02:44

to manage projects as a team,

00:02:46

boards,

00:02:47

lists,

00:02:48

maps,

00:02:49

calendar.

00:02:50

Deadlines to do lists

00:02:51

that allow you to organize your projects and define your priorities.

00:02:56

The platform is engaging and functional on all devices.

00:03:01

Here are some applications that are more lifestyle oriented.

00:03:05

Be focused.

00:03:07

An app that segments your work rhythm.

00:03:09

It is based on the idea that after a certain period of time,

00:03:13

different for everyone,

00:03:14

we are less productive.

00:03:16

You choose your work in time interval,

00:03:19

45 minutes,

00:03:20

for example,

00:03:21

after which it invites you to take a 5 minute break,

00:03:25

flipped.

00:03:26

This app

00:03:27

encourages you to be fully present and guides you

00:03:31

back to the right path when you deviate.

00:03:34

It motivates you by refocusing on well invested time.

00:03:39

Flipped also allows you to turn off certain applications

00:03:43

in order to disconnect completely.

00:03:45

Of course,

00:03:46

this list can change at any time.

00:03:50

Every day hundreds of applications are launched online.

00:03:53

Which one do you choose to test among the ones I suggested?

00:03:57

I couldn't finish this video on technology,

00:04:00

being at the service of our time,

00:04:02

without introducing mind mapping,

00:04:05

an extraordinary tool to collect and organize information in all formats.

00:04:11

Mind mapping is a powerful technique that helps you visualize

00:04:15

your thoughts and ideas and communicate them to others.

00:04:20

It is a tool for visualizing information in the form of a map

00:04:24

that allows you to have a global vision as well as to go into detail.

00:04:29

The map allows you to organize ideas using both the left side of the brain,

00:04:34

analytical,

00:04:35

rational,

00:04:36

linear,

00:04:37

and the right,

00:04:39

intuitive,

00:04:40

visual,

00:04:41

creative.

00:04:42

Memorizing then becomes easier.

00:04:45

At the center of your map,

00:04:46

you write down the subject

00:04:48

and then gradually create branches with your ideas.

00:04:53

The advantage being that you can constantly create,

00:04:56

regroup and reorganize your ideas.

00:04:59

It is a very flexible tool.

00:05:01

You can either make your own hand drawn maps on a paper board

00:05:06

or use a mind mapping software.

00:05:09

There are many of them available.

00:05:11

The best of 2021,

00:05:13

Smart Draw

00:05:15

and Microsoft Vizier with free trials,

00:05:18

Miller Note,

00:05:19

Lucid Chart,

00:05:20

and Coggle,

00:05:22

which also provides free versions.

00:05:25

I personally prepare all my videos and conferences with a mind map.

00:05:30

I also take notes during my coaching sessions using a mind map.

00:05:34

I build the strategy of my company with a mind map.

00:05:38

I plan my tasks and those of my team with a mind map.

00:05:42

I brainstorm with my teams with a mind map.

00:05:45

The mind map will also save you a lot of time in your meetings.

00:05:49

It promotes the free circulation of ideas.

00:05:53

It's the perfect format for brainstorming sessions

00:05:56

and creative problem solving.

00:05:59

The Mind Meister app allows you to share your mind maps with your team

00:06:04

and to collaborate with them in real time.

00:06:08

Whether you're in a face to face meeting

00:06:10

or thousands of miles away,

00:06:12

everyone can see the changes made to the mind map in real time.

00:06:17

Employees can quickly comment on topics,

00:06:20

vote on ideas,

00:06:21

or discuss changes in the built-in chat room.

00:06:25

The Mindmeister application integrates easily with Meister task,

00:06:30

which is a task and project management application.

00:06:34

Projects determined through Meinmeister are transformed

00:06:38

into tasks that can be done on

00:06:40

Meister task.
