I've been brainstorming different ebook idea giveaways and I think I've settled on creating an ebook for Top 10 productivity software or apps to use in 2012.

I'm trying to collect suggestions from different sources and compile them into a list based on the most popular ones and create the ebook from that.

So for those of you on this forum, what are your top 3 productivity software or apps you use for your business and/or personal lives? You can give more than 3 suggestions if you like.

Thanks

Microsoft Office 2010 - need I say more.
Drop Box - Store anything in cyber space and retrieve it from any where.
XMind - Best brainstorming tool I have ever seen.

Those are the choice of the day.

Never heard of Xmind before. I'll look into that.

I certainly recommend Office 365 (Office 2013), Evernote & Skype

I don't see how you could go wrong with any of these.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll definitely look into FreshBooks for invoicing!
