I couldn’t live without…

We all have tools that we use daily that make our lives easier, and these are tools we need to share with others to help them make their lives easier. Here are just a few tools I recommend to everyone I know because of how much they have helped me.

I am not an affiliate of any of these products, and I have not been paid to feature any of them. I am just honestly passionate about how well they work. Some are free, some are not, but they are all priced well below what they are worth:

  • WordPress – Hands down, the best, easiest to use and most amazing blogging software out there. Of course, it is also what I use and the only thing I recommend for clients. (free)
  • Roboform – Remembers all your passwords, all your important information and is so simple to use. I couldn’t handle remembering the 200+ passwords I have without it. ($29.95 for first computer, $9.95 for all others)
  • Microsoft Office Home and Business – While I know there are “free” tools that can replace all parts of office, I wouldn’t dream of it. Outlook alone is worth the cost. ($249.99)
  • GoToMyPC – I love having access to my desktop computer from my laptop at all time. It is more consistent and easier to use than any other one I tried. ($19.95/month)
  • Tweetdeck – The easiest twitter client, and although it can slow down your system, it is definitely worth it. (free)
  • Verizon service and my blackberry – As “cool” as everyone thinks an iPhone is, without great service, the phone is no better than a paperweight. I couldn’t imagine not having Verizon. (depends on your plan)
  • Cambridge notebooks - They are solid covers on the front and back, which means you don’t need a desk or table to write on them, and it has full size paper. I love these so much! ($11.99/each)
  • Firefox – Hands down, the cleanest and easiest to use browser. Now, if only they would get rid of IE permanently… (free)

What tools do you use daily that you couldn’t live without?

    I agree with you on Firefox, even though it does have some frustrating issues from time to time. I also LOVE me some Hootsuite, and Google Docs has been a lifesaver for me.

    I also cannot live without my laptop and my Droid. And my industrial-sized hair dryer (Spaceballs joke…ha ha).

      When I was writing the post, I kept wanting to add “…and that's all I need”, but I didn't think enough people would get “The Jerk” reference, so I left it out ;)
