This blog post will show how Akiflow can help remote workers stay organized. And how it helps in keeping track of tasks.
How to keep remote work organized?
Working on a remote basis comes with its pros and cons. You often need help with communication and collaboration. With the ability to quickly pop into someone’s office for a quick chat or see who’s available and who’s not, remote teams may not be able to stay on the same page. Additionally, companies rely on various communication tools, making it challenging to keep track of all the conversations, files, and tasks.
With Akiflow, you can centralize your schedule and merge your tools in one place. In addition, by blocking time for your tasks in the calendar, you can easily stay on top of your workload.

Time Blocking
