Productivity for Creatives with Google Workspace Tools

“We have reached the end of this course. Thank you so much for taking the time! Let’s summarize what we have learned before you dive into your final project. You have learned that there are several different Google account types to create a productivity system for yourself or your team. You have learned how vital scheduling your tasks and keeping track of your deadlines are. You can use apps like Google Calendar, Keep, and Tasks. To a certain degree, even Gmail can help you plan. Efficient collaboration with others is an important topic to consider when you’re defining your productivity system. You have learned how the Google Workspace tools can help you with this. Communicating, whether it be with your team or your customer, is part of a productivity system as well. I have shown you which tools you can use to do so and in which cases to use which app. Now it’s time to put all the things you’ve learned into practice. I personally recommend you choose Google Workspace as the foundation of your productivity system. As a final project, I want you to sign up for a Google Workspace account - alternatively, a free Google account. Once this is done, create your own email signature in Gmail.

The next step consists of creating a folder called "My Notes" in Google Drive. Changing the color of this folder will make it stand out to you. Then, create another folder called "Team Project" and share it with someone else. Having done this, you will be able to plan the next three weeks in Google Calendar. Lastly, create labels in Gmail to organize your inbox. If you are part of a team, it might also be helpful to create a room called "Our ideas" in Google Chat. Once you’re done, upload screenshots of your Google Drive, Google Calendar, Gmail inbox, and Google Chat to show us how you use these tools to organize your day, keep track of important messages and communicate with your team. Do you want some feedback on your productivity system? Then post your questions, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. However, as I’m usually swamped teaching my students to be more productive with Google Workspace, I kindly ask your patience if I can’t respond immediately. Do you have great productivity tips and tricks? Then let your coursemates know by posting them in the forum!”
