The Brain
We use The Brain as one of our digital knowledge management tools. We like it because it thinks like we do and helps us remember things we just can't keep track off in our real brain [we're getting older and we have a lot of shit up there 😃 ]. We use it as a repository of things we have seen and want to remember, with the ability to see the relational network between all of this information. Some examples of information we store in TheBrain are: people, websites, contacts, courses and social media.
It’s kind of like our digital Brain; it captures all the intelligence we have gathered over time and allows us easy access (a few seconds) to any piece of digital information. We consume a lot of information and it's impossible to remember it all without a little help.
It has Windows, Mac and Mobile versions available.
Evernote
Evernote is another one of our digital knowledge management tools. We moved to a paperless office many years ago and use Evernote to capture all the things we used to keep in filing cabinets (for example: invoices, statements, receipts, clippings, and anything else in paper form). We also use it to capture and hold information such as website clippings, screen captures, ideas and notes. Almost anything we used to write on paper we now write in Evernote. (Do we still use real paper? Sometimes, but very rarely).
So much information – and without a place to organize it for quick retrieval we’d never find half of it. Yep, Evernote is a life saver.
It has Windows, Mac and Mobile versions available.
MindJet MindManager
We use mind mapping to create just about everything we do in business (and personally too). We use if for our big picture vision and business plan, creating presentations, content (both written and video) and info products, for planning and implementing product launches and events, for our personal and business goals, and of course for much, much more. Mindjet MindManager is our choice because it's fun, effortless, and yet totally power-packed.
G Suite
G Suite (Google) (previously named Google Apps) is our Communication and Collaboration toolbox for email, calendar, contacts and file sharing.
All of this in one package:
* Gmail (On our own domain)
* Google Drive (How we share files between each other)
* Calendar (How we keep track of all our activity and event schedules)
* Contacts (How we keep track of people we know)

It has Windows, Mac and Mobile versions available.
ClickUp
For us, ClickUp is the easiest way to manage our projects, tasks and to do's. Yes, it does work very well for team collaboration (even a team of two), but it's also an awesome tool for an individual.

And to top it off, Camtasia is simple to use, allowing you to create amazing videos quickly and easily.
