Hi Donna,
A friend of mine uses Asana and loves it. AWAI uses Trello which I like as well.

I was using Freedcamp, but found it too cumbersome. For now, I set up another calendar in MS Outlook called Projects, and have the deadlines, phone calls, appts. all entered as appointments. Seems to be OK, but let me know if you have a suggestion.

I also use MS Office 365 Business. For backup, I have an external hard drive, plus I have a subscription with CrashPlan. CrashPlan backs up all my files in the cloud, is easy to use, and good price. I have Evernote also. I’ve used both Evernote and OneNote. I’m not expert at using either. I also use Scrivener for my longer projects, like the online environmental courses that I write. It’s a great program, would like to learn more ways to use it. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro, because I do some work with engineers and have to modify pdf documents sometimes. I’m using a time tracker to help keep track of how long my projects take (to estimate how much I make per hour, and how many hours I work each week). It’s called TopTracker. It works great–except you actually have to remember to turn it on and off (bummer). A few other helpful things are Mind Maple (mind map software), which I believe was $10, and The Outliner of Giants for outlining.

It’s always nice to hear what others use for their business. Thanks for the tip on SpiderOak as well. I’m always on the hunt for good backup companies that don’t cost a fortune and this one looks good. When my current provider is up for renewal, I’ll definitely be looking at this one.
