One of my resolutions of 2012 was to work more efficient so been on the lookout for some tools which could help me doing this.

So far I have found the following tools:

Managewp: Manage all my Wordpress sites from one dashboard, automatic backups and it enables you to update all WP sites and plugins to the latest version with one click.

Staagg: Enables me to check all my affiliate stats in one go.

Anyone else using tools to save time and work more efficient?

I have been looking at ManageWP as well, but thought the monthly fees were a bit steep. From the features you mention, you must have the professional version, which is what I would need, is it worth the money?

Hi Bruce,

Yeah I am using the professional version.

You are right, the monthly fees are steep but it does save a lot of time, especially when you have to do theme/plugin updates.

Next to this I love the option where you can add posts to any website using one login and the option where it makes a backup of all my sites on a daily basis.

Nice idea for a thread - always looking for good tools.

I'll share a couple of the good one's I've been using of late. - Hopefully everyone lists loads!

1. I've been using Trello .com for a couple of months now which I find useful.
Its free & enables you to sort tasks into lists.
Great if your the unorganised type like me
It can also synch with your smartphone - But I haven't tried that yet.
I did tweet it to you a few weeks ago Lenart. Be interested to hear how you got on if you've tried it.

2. Sescout .com
This is a great tool to keep track of your keyword rankings in google. etc.
You can set multiple sites and keywords. There is free version available.
Saves alot of messing around.
Wouldn't do without it!

I'll add more later, but wait and see what everyone else comes up with first.

Mike

I thought this post was pretty helpful in getting a kick up the arse in 2012, to stop distractions / procrastination etc: http://finchsells.com/2012/01/03/wil...money-in-2012/ , mentions some effective tools to help too

Great tool, just installed StayFocusd in Chrome.

Sescout looks great, signing up as we speak.

Tried Trello.com but didnt really like it, tried different digital options but none of them did the trick for me.. Ended up buying an oldschool agenda to keep track of my to do lists

I have heard shocking reviews for SEscout so will be interesting to hear any feedback once you have tried it.

Another option in that field is http://www.micrositemasters.com/

Been using it for a while (free version) and not had any problems.
Seems quite accurate, at least for the one's I checked anyway.

Glad you posted an alternative though as it means I can track more sites for free

Lol, but that will reduce your efficiency as you will have more websites you need to keep track off

Found a nice Chrome extension called Read Later Fast.

Its similar to bookmarks, it lets you save a page/post/article to read it later.

So instead of reading them while working you can save them to read them all in one go when your done working.
