How to use Private-Cloud as a personal assistant
Firstly, look at the sheer number of tools people are using to try and stay organised. We end up with an App for this, an App for that. An account for this, another for that. Are we really making things simpler?
Secondly, we’ll look at schedules. Any schedule should give you momentum, not take it away. Yet, we often forget to think about our state of mind when organising meetings, events, or tasks. The mental leap it takes to go from a deep-thinking exercise like writing, coding and planning to daily catch-up calls is draining.
This American Psychology Association study shows that shifting tasks can take up almost 40% of our productive time. It’s no wonder we often end our working days feeling exhausted and a little frustrated.
So what's the answer?
By using Private-Cloud as a personal assistant you get a single, private and secure place to manage your schedule (because the whole world doesn’t need to know who you are meeting today, where and at what time). Private-Cloud allows you to manage your calendar in one place, allowing you to set and receive reminders on any connected device, mobile or laptop.
Private-Cloud also has a built-in tasks tool, from which you can add and delete tasks, edit their title, description, start and due dates and mark their importance. And, If you are a business of more than one, the tasks can be shared or assigned between users.
Private-Cloud has a built-in kanban style tool for personal and project planning for teams integrated within your cloud. Allowing you to add your tasks to cards and put them in order, Write additional notes in markdown, attach files, discuss with your team using comments (or the built-in private messaging and video calling tools) and monitor changes in the activity stream.
A helpful dashboard is displayed when you log in to your Private-Cloud, showing the status of Events, Tasks and Cards, giving you a clear visual overview of your day.
Using Private-Cloud to plan your day and set schedules and reminders allows your brain to prepare for what comes next and what to expect. That does two things:
- It reduces decision fatigue and stress that can get in the way of taking action.
- It keeps you in a “flow state” that improves productivity.
When you automate your day with Private-Cloud, you no longer need to think or make decisions about what comes next, which frees up more mental energy for your actual tasks.
Imagine your clarity of thought if you didn't have to remember the Who, What, Why and When.
