Three apps for a great start
To effectively manage a company, team, or your diet, you need a well-defined strategy. Let’s kickstart your next quarter with a stellar action plan that will help you achieve your goals.
Map out your goals
Start with a rough outline of everything you aim to achieve this quarter. MindNode will help you organize and visualize your thoughts.
On your mind map, you can create separate branches for different projects or areas of life like work or personal growth. Then, jot down your ideas and see connections between them. Add notes, images, stickers — it's your space to brainstorm and get inspired.
Set tasks and deadlines
Goals like "launch a startup" sound great, but where do you even start? Once you have the big picture, break down your objectives into key results, each with its own tasks. That's where you'll need a solid project management tool like Merlin Project Express.
Merlin Project Express will help you get started even if you don’t know where to start:
- Use templates to quickly create a rough project plan.
- Arrange milestones, set tasks and dependencies, and add time estimates.
- Check the Gantt chart on the right to see the project schedule and progress.
- Add notes and attachments to keep everything project-related in one place.
Manage your resources
No resources — no project. Think of freelancers designing your first website or equipment you'll need to open a bakery. Merlin Project Express can help you manage all project resources, including their availability and cost.
Switch to the Resources view to see everything required for your project. You can add various resources like people, companies, materials, and equipment.
Get the numbers right
As much as you may hate math, your goals and predictions will be based on numbers. Numi will help you predict MRR, forecast user base growth, or calculate predicted LTV for the new quarter in minutes. No need to be good in math — just use plain words to explain what you want to calculate, and Numi will get your point.
