    I'm sick to the back teeth of PM apps and systems. Across half a dozen regular clients, there are twice as many of them to use; Asana, Slack, Teams, Drive, Screenlight, Aspera, Trello, RocketPolisher, on and on we go.

    Chuck in a few stuck-in-the-muds who still prefer to photograph printouts with red handwriting all over them. And my inbox is clogged with endless notifications from apps that are supposed to unclog my inbox.

    Bollocks.

    • Asana, teams and trello notifications get filtered into a "clutter" folder in my workflow. Makes me much more productivesausages
    • I'm still in whinge mode, solutions later : )MrT
    • + Zoom, Skype, Facetime, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, BlueJeans, WhatsApp etc etc for video conference calls. Oh and Houseparty for friends.inteliboy
    • That's the spirit!MrT
    • Oh you just reminded me to check Slack for stuff.........Nope, nothing important, will check again in 2 weeks...grafician
    • Signs, I'm getting old: I don't understand any of the stuff you write. Haha. Oh, I have heard of Microsoft Teams... damn...SimonFFM
    • Handwritten photocopies... Gezuss, you an 80s ad man? All these tools make my life 100 times more manageablenecromation
    • Anyway, multiply all this with 4-5 clients, all using mostly different tools.
      I just try to use email for everything...      grafician
    • So over it myself. I pay loads of cash for PM tools that clients can't or don't use properly.monoboy
    • I've even had a client FedEx a hard copy from the US with printers marks in H2 pencil for a 24hr deadline.monoboy
    • @necro I’m not but a client does this.MrT
    • We started with Teams after the plague struck, for people working from home. Pure fucking nightmare. Everyone uses their shitty iPhone mics for video calls...face_melter
    • ...so everyone sounds like they are coming through a fucked-up NYC subway PA from 1973.face_melter
    • Ha! I'm a little amazed that I got away with RocketPolisher as a viable PM app.
      Thx for the upvotes x      MrT
