On the internet, you will find information that Alex Honnold’s net worth is $2 million.\n\nAlex is primarily famous for being the only climber to climb the El Capitan. Plus, Alex Honnold is among the best rock climbers on earth. Here’s everything you need to know about him, from his age, height, and weight to his career and early life. \n\nAlex Honnold’s Early Life\nBorn on 17th August 1985, Alex Honnold is from Sacramento, California and his parents were college professors. His mother’s family side is Polish, while his father’s family side is German.\n\nHe started rock climbing at five years in the gym and began exhibiting commitment to this sport at ten years, at which point he went to the gym multiple times weekly. As a teenager, Alex Honnold contested in different rock climbing competitions, and every so often, he won. \n\nAlex Honnold’s Education\nAlex Honnold attended Mira Loma High School, where he graduated in 2003.

      "body": "The average person can take approximately three days before they learn [how to snowboard](https://rappellingequipment.com/how-to-snowboard/) or even feel comfortable on the board. However, if you are well-prepared or a natural, you can learn in a day. How long you will specifically take depends on your perseverance and ability.\n\nWhile snowboarding is not hard to learn, even for amateurs, it still requires practice and skill. It requires some time before you know the techniques and expertise to balance and master the board. Most beginners spend their first snowboarding lessons with several falls.\n\nThere is a lot that goes into consideration before you advance to the pro level. The better your core coordination, fitness, and balance are, the easier it is to perform beginner snowboarding tricks and turns. Plus, snowboarding will come more naturally if you have tried skiing, wakeboarding, surfing, or similar sports.\n\nPart 1: How to Prepare For a Day of Snowboarding?\nSnowboarding can be an exhausting sport and it is important to prepare for a day of snowboarding. The following questions are the most important to ask when you have to prepare for a day of snowboarding.\n\nShould you purchase your lift tickets online?\nYes, if there is such an option, it is best to purchase the lift tickets online. The best thing about purchasing your lift tickets online is that you can avoid the lines and crowds at the ticket window. You will also be able to plan your day better because you know precisely what lift tickets you need and how much they cost. It is also a great way to save time and money.\n\nIf you purchase your lift tickets online, then you will have more time to explore the resort before riding the lifts. This means that you can take in all of the beauty of the mountains before taking on some of the most thrilling rides around. You might even find some new hidden gems that are not on any map!\n\nShould you buy beginner snowboard packages?\nThe goal of ski resorts is to help more people fall in love with snowboarding, after all. So many hills offer discounted packages that include lift tickets, gear rentals, and lessons. When you are just starting, these packages are the best option. With them, you’ll learn how to snowboard for as little hassle as possible at the lowest possible price. Make sure you take advantage of them.",

      "body": "Rock climbing could be bad for the knees if you don’t take proper care of your joints. Climbing-related knee pain and injuries are common but rarely discussed.\n\nThey’re common in specialized motions like heel hooking, drop knee, and high steps. Excessive usage can also cause them to repeatedly land while climbing or during climbs and descents with a large pack.\n\nClimbing can put your knee in unfavorable postures, putting strain on the cartilage and ligaments with its complicated movements. The huge thigh bone, the femur, torques inwards towards the shorter lower-leg bone; it might happen in specific movements like drop knees, namely tibia.\n\nIs Rock Climbing Bad for Joints?\nRock climbing could be bad for your joints as rock climbing puts a strain on your joints, causing the 2-4 mm cartilage that function as padding between your bones to deteriorate. Although a little joint pressure is necessary for cartilage stability, excessive joint stress caused by impact, compression, or shearing forces could cause degenerative changes.\n\nEven though the joints are now in good health, persistent inflammation is the main factor of degenerative changes down the street, according to studies like one featured in Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease (2013).\n\nSo keep an eye out for swollen fingers (also known as synovitis), a condition known among climbers! Even though science is working hard to find ways to repair cartilage, your best protection is prevention or altering your lifestyle.\n\nHow do I Protect my Knees when Climbing?\nYou can protect your knees when climbing, following the steps below.\n\n1. Weight and form balance\nBecause they carry most of the body’s weight, your hips and knees are more susceptible to damage. Every level step taken puts stress on the knee of 3-6 times the body weight. As a result, simply being 20lbs or wearing an extra 20lbs in your backpack puts 60-120lbs to your knees.\n\nThat’s why, for optimum knee wellness, it’s critical to keep healthy body weight and minimize any excessive pack weight. You may modify your posture or pack load if you frequently have knee problems on downhills or are sore after that.\n\n2. Wear appropriate shoes\nWearing the proper shoes could make a huge difference in how comfortable your knees are. Make sure you’re putting on well-cushioned shoes so when your heel hits the floor, the shoe absorbs the majority of your body weight instead of your knee joint.\n\nAlways put on comfortable shoes. Wearing the incorrect size can cause just as much, if not more, harm to your body. If you desire a more secure fit or greater arch support, gel inserts are an excellent option. Tie the climbing shoes snugly around the feet, which will soften the blow of your feet against the front of the shoe.\n\n3. Flexibility and strength for your joints when climbing\nThough mountain climbing will assist you in keeping fit, it’s also crucial to keep the muscles stretched and engaged by staying active regularly and stretching frequently. The majority of injuries occur due to people staying inactive for lengthy periods and then leaping into a rigorous sport too quickly. If you keep your leg muscles firm, you’ll be considerably less prone to have knee problems.\n\nMake sure to work out the hamstrings, calves, inner thighs, and quads using weighted workouts. They’ll support your body weight and relieve the strain on the knees when you’re hiking. Incorporating ankle weights into your normal leg exercises, or strolling about the house, is a straightforward way to get to work your legs.\n\n4. Consume lubricating foods for your joints\nYour diet plays an important role in overall health and could also aid in the maintenance of your knees. Diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, olive oil, and walnuts, assist in keeping the joints lubricated, resulting in much less grinding, friction, and soreness.\n\nConsider this: Injuries usually happen at the poorest link of the chain; injury safety or, more accurately, injury mitigation is effective when all connections in the chain are made as robust as possible. \n\nYou must favor rope climbing over bouldering to prevent re-injuring the knee, according to the researchers, because it “avoids accidents and has a direct effect on your knee.” While bouldering, experts also propose that “down climbing,” a safe descent, or “top out,” a simple alternative descent, be preferred over jumping down.\n\nOriginal Article [How to Prevent Knee Pain when Rock Climbing](https://rappellingequipment.com/knee-pain-rock-climbing/).",

      "body": "There are high chances you’ve seen people with weird spikes on their feet, called crampons, especially if you’ve been in the mountains in winter. Even though crampons appear like bizarre old-fashioned devices, crampons are simply used to enhance the user’s grip on ice and snow or aid in climbing a technical ice climb. Here, we’ll take a closer look at how to choose crampons, but first, let’s find out what are crampons.\n\nWhat are Crampons?\nCrampons are metal devices equipped with “teeth” to offer sufficient user traction on snow and ice. Crampons are designed to mount onto the soles of specific boots. Ice climbers and mountaineers typically wear crampons, and they’re a vital part of winter gear, especially if you’re going beyond the snowline.\n\nHow to Choose the Right Crampons for You?\nLike any other climbing gear, choosing crampons is no walk in the park. You have to consider your needs, preferences, and budget. Fortunately, we’ve done all the heavy lifting and reviewed what you need to consider when choosing crampons.\n\nThere is a growing specialization of crampons in terms of activities. Ultra-lightweight crampons designed for winter hiking are available. In addition to handling snow and glacier travel, traditional crampons also work well for technical hiking (with an ice ax) and mountaineering. Ice and rock crampons are becoming increasingly specialized for ice waterfalls.\n\nHere is how to choose crampons based on activity.\n\nFor technical mountaineering choose crampons with strap-on, step-in, or hybrid binding, made from steel. The construction must be semi-rigit, the frontpoint type fixed horizonatal with around 12 points.\nFor snow walking choose crampons with strap-on binding, made from steel or aluminium. The construction must be flexible, the frontpoint type fixed horizonatal with 8 or 10 points.\nFor waterfall ice and mixed climbing choose crampons with step-in or hybrid binding, made from steel. The construction must be semi-rigit, the frontpoint type modular vertical with 14 or more points.\nFor general mountaineering choose crampons with strap-on, step-in, or hybrid binding, made from steel. The construction must be semi-rigit, the frontpoint type fixed horizonatal with around 10 points.\nHow to Choose Crampon Frames: Characteristics\nHow to select frame materials for crampons?\nMost of the time, crampons are built utilizing two materials, aluminum and steel. Steel provides better corrosion resistance and durability than aluminum. Thus, they are perfect for alpine climbs, mixed climbs, and technical ice.\n\nNevertheless, this strength and durability mean they tend to be heavy. On the other hand, aluminum crampons are lightweight, making them ideal for snow climbing, ski mountaineering, and glacier travel. Learn how to sharpen crampons in five easy steps.\n\n1. Aluminum crampons are perfect for ski mountaineering and approaches.\n\n2. Stainless-steel crampons offer the best corrosion resistance.\n\n3. Steel crampons are best suited for general mountaineering.\n\nHow to choose frame alignment for your crampons?\nNowadays, crampons don’t have to be as rigid as they used to be when people wore double plastic boots. Crampons with horizontally oriented frames are the norm. The horizontally oriented frames are flexible for walking, and your feet are closer to the ground to experience better stability.\n\nOriginal article [How to Choose Crampons](https://rappellingequipment.com/how-to-choose-crampons/).",

      "body": "[Drop knee in rock climbing](https://rappellingequipment.com/drop-knee-rock-climbing/) is an advanced technique that climbers use when bouldering and rock climbing. Experienced climbers often resort to this strategic footwork maneuver when encountering particularly challenging boulders. The drop knee technique is energy efficient, which is why climbers use it in sections that (strategically) require little energy and effort and more skill.\n\nThe technique relies on specific footwork where climbers push down on the hold with the outer section of their foot while the other foot is kept stemmed against the other hold. This causes their bodies to tense up, helping keep the climber in their initial position. The move requires climbers to have lots of practice, stability, and lower body strength. Otherwise, they may end up using more energy than they are required to.\n\nTo achieve this stance, climbers have to rotate their hip towards the boulder’s surface while the other knee is turned downwards (drop kneeing). The climbers should then rest the other foot against the closest hold for support and shift their weight to the outer section of the foot, creating enough tension to keep them secured to the wall.\n\nWhy is Drop Knee Important in Climbing?\nDrop knee is important in climbing because of the following reasons.\n\nDrop kneeing is essential, especially for beginners, because it helps them improve their capacity to climb overhangs without wasting any extra energy. The technique also protects your body (muscles) from unnecessary strain and related muscle injuries from over-depending your upper body for ascension.\nDrop kneeing helps you approach holds that usually seem quite far when using standard climbing techniques. This efficient footwork maneuver provides a stable base that holds most of your body weight, allowing you to remain steady and unshakeable. This will enable you to generate an upward motion (using your hips and feet) that elevates your position.\nYour legs muscles are bigger and stronger than your arm muscles, and instead of pulling yourself up with your arms, you can use your leg muscles since they are more efficient. As mentioned earlier, this climbing technique is more energy-efficient and covers more distance than most other techniques.\nThe drop knee technique offers climbers lots of balance and stability, two of the most critical things they need when tackling overhangs. They can assume stable positions on poor holds. The balance also makes it easier for climbers to stretch further and grip subsequent holds. The technique also provides climbers with greater control of their flow and movements.\nWhy Should You Practice Drop Knee in Rock Climbing?\nYou should practice the drop knee technique because it allows you to extend your reach, improve your stability, and save energy.",

      "body": "The crampons are a critically essential walking kit for the winter. If you are out mountaineering and intend to go beyond the snow line, then you will have to use crampons for icy ground. Though crampons are important to save you during icy mountain and snowy conditions, you need to learn how to use crampons accordingly. \n\nCrampons are a foolproof approach to traverse hard ice and slippery snow. Some of the benefits of using crampons include protecting your feet from slipping, keeping you upright, and distributing weight more evenly on your feet. With the help of crampons, you can ascend snow slopes, cross glaciers, scale ice-smeared rock, climb frozen waterfalls.\n\nWhat are Crampons?\nA crampon is a traction device, attached to snow boots, designed for use in snowy and icy conditions. Crampons have a metal point at the toe, which is used to provide traction on snow and ice. Crampons have different characteristics and grades.\n\nEntire link: https://rappellingequipment.com/how-to-use-crampons/",

If we’re honest, that is probably even an understatement.\n\nThere’s plenty of excitement and no doubt tons of opportunity out there for the right startups. If you’re the founder, you’ve seen something in the markets you like, you believe in yourself and your support to get it done, and you’re ready to see what fortunes await you.\n\nThe opportunity is there, and that uncertainty gives plenty of room and energy for new ideas, but it can also lead to the complete failure of the startup. The more unknown variables and unplanned systems, the worse a situation the company is going to be in, no matter how good the ideas.\n\nWhile everyone loves the story of the entrepreneur who creates a startup and that startup becomes Uber or Facebook or some other household name, the truth is that these companies face some really unique challenges and there are far more failures than success stories.\n\nHowever better project management could help many better manage that risk and prosper. Project management isn’t sexy, but it’s your best friend in the business.\n\nThis maps out specific processes that allow a project to start, advance, and finish and keeps everyone on the same page. This can seem restrictive, but that framework is what separates success from failure, in addition to teaching you the tools you need to reach your potential truly.\n\nThere are many types of project management out there. Don’t assume it’s too rigid: many styles can be adapted to create one that lets you and your team do their best work.\n\n10 Most Common Project Management Mistakes Startups Make аnd Their Solutions\nStartups often make certain project management mistakes.\n\nHere is a list of some of the most common mistakes made by startups and a few ways to avoid such situations.\n\n![10 Most Common Project Management Mistakes Startups Make аnd Their Solutions.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcK8sgX6vSbP5QMvDUi9L6hmNGU3ee2aAUhzMtr7SmfV1/10%20Most%20Common%20Project%20Management%20Mistakes%20Startups%20Make%20%D0%B0nd%20Their%20Solutions.jpg)\n\n1) Selection of wrong project manager\nStartups take a bottom-up approach when it comes to managing projects. They strive to find people who have the necessary skill set for the job but often overlook the importance of project management to make it a success.\n\nA project manager is not there just to coordinate the project plan, but it’s imperative that she is assigned accountability and responsibility to complete the project. A typical startup does not necessarily have a person with experience in different project management methodologies or with PMI certification.\n\n2) Inability to say “no” to the project team\nIn most cases, startups consist of a small team with a flat structure. Often, the managers are colleagues, and formal hierarchy almost does not exist which makes it difficult to say no.\n\nThis becomes more difficult in cases where companies encourage open dialogue as it is considered necessary for innovation. In such a consensus-based culture, requests made by a team member is often difficult to turn down for the manager.\n\nHowever, saying yes to each request may form a dangerous precedent. Saying yes to everything helps in avoiding short-term conflicts but often results in the creation of a dynamic where management has relatively low power as compared to the team.\n\nThe real challenge for a project manager is to find a way to not say yes to every request without giving an impression of loss of collaboration or camaraderie to the team.\n\nMaximum transparency explaining the rationale behind decisions is the key to achieve consensus the right way. For instance, there might be a request from the team to add a particular functionality that will help in making the product better, but the manager needs to explain that “speed to market” is the priority right now, and that request can wait.\n\nWhen employees understand the priorities and have a clear vision of the plans of the company, they are likely to be more flexible. In the case of startups, a command and control structure is less likely to be successful.\n\n3) Inadequate risk planning\nFor instance, one of the risks a startup faces is the release of a similar solution by a competitor which might have an immense negative effect on the long-term growth of the startup.\n\nAfter the identification of risks, it is imperative for the organization to come up with a strategy to address this particular risk in case it happens. If there is a new competitor in the market, a market segment must be identified by the company whose needs it can meet profitably.\n\nThorough understanding of customer segments and focusing on a particular group of customers can help in shielding a company from the competition. Merely hoping that it doesn’t happen is ignorance of real risk which is not only irresponsible but also shortsighted.\n\n4) Limited understanding of the scope\nThere are cases where there is a failure to understand the scope of a project as it is believed that scope is fluid and may change later.\n\nEven if it happens, it is imperative to have a baseline to define the scope of a particular project to have set expectations for the management as well as the project team.\n\n5) Inadequate change tracking\nWhen project management is not taken seriously by startups, change tracking is one of its biggest casualties. If the teams and processes are democratized, the risk of everyone making changes to their particular part of the project regardless of the overall plan becomes a bigger risk.\n\nRegardless of the project planning methodology used for project management, all the changes in a project plan must be approved and tracked properly.\n\nIn case someone makes random changes to a part of the plan, it may lead to confusion for other team members who might not be aware of the changes. In case appropriate approval is not obtained for each change, it may lead to changes that are wholly inconsistent with the overall plan and strategy.\n\n6) Prioritizing speed to market over quality control\nThere is no denying the fact that startup owners are usually under immense pressure from investors to rush their product to market before they burn through the cash investments and sometimes, it leads to cutting corners.\n\nIt may be tempting to release half-baked products to be first to the market, but you should never forget that it can be extremely dangerous. For start-ups, their reputation is extremely important, and if you mess up with your first launch, it’s unlikely that your company will survive.\n\nThis doesn’t apply to cases where small beta releases are tested by friends and family who are likely to forgive some bugs. However, things are not going to be as forgiving for startups in a competitive marketplace. Customers expect the same level of quality control by a startup as they expect from a larger organization.\n\nDon’t forget that a bigger company often has a bigger portfolio of products and more customers to fall back on. On the other hand, a startup usually only has one shot to make its name, and it can’t take chances.\n\n7) Inability to create deliverable schedules\nScheduling a project is never easy as not all the variables are known. One has to make a huge number of estimates when a product is being released for the first time. Some of these estimates are likely to fall short whereas others are likely to be accurate.\n\nIt is tempting not to create a detailed delivery schedule. Often, it can be justified in a variety of ways such as we will figure this out later or there are too many variables to be figured out now, or it’s a simply meaningless process for a start-up to be bogged down in.\n\nThese arguments may seem justified but may have disastrous consequences. On the contrary, the process of making set schedules helps in getting everyone focused on the plan and may also lead to the identification of risks.\n\nA work breakdown structure should be used to completely break down the overall project into the smallest tasks or activities regardless of the methodology used by your team.\n\n8) Poor resource planning\nIf you are like other common startups, you are likely to hire enthusiastic, dynamic and young people who will commit to your vision. In turn, you trust them, and a lot of responsibilities are given as you expect them to deliver by multitasking (which we, as a lean startup, don’t recommend).\n\nThese young, enthusiastic people often overcommit but start to burn out without realizing it. Bigger companies have a lot more resources and can afford to spread the burden, but startups do not have this luxury.\n\nOften, it is assumed that giving responsibilities to smart people even though they are not qualified for the same is the way to go. It is assumed that smart people can learn on the job and will be able to do the job, but smart people may also fail if they are not given enough bandwidth and time.\n\nIt is the responsibility of the start-up project manager (it doesn’t matter whether this is their official title) to understand the team’s limitations. If people overcommit, it will only lead to burnout and mistakes.\n\nTherefore, the best way to move forward is to be upfront about the lack of resources and change the management. In some cases, it may lead to the addition of more resources to a project and in other cases, it might lead to re-prioritization of the employee’s time.\n\n9) Lack of regular communication\nYou will agree that the tendency to over-communicate is a reality in today’s hyper-connected world. Employers of your team may use Google hangout, WhatsApp, Skype or SMS.\n\nIt’s true that the employees are available for most of the day, but start-up projects need to keep in mind that proper communication needs rhythm. A scheduled time is necessary for the whole team to review their progress, identify their problem areas and work out solutions collaboratively.\n\nIt may be cool to bypass such formal status meetings, but it also increases the risk of macro issues turning into big problems that might affect the whole project. Regular meetings need to be scheduled with a planned schedule of topics — daily standups, weekly, and monthly.\n\n10) Managing a project without a project management software for startups\nThere is a tendency in some startups not to use project management software as they are deemed too complex. It is difficult to understand this attitude of some startups when there is a huge number of online project management software for startups available today.\n\nThis tendency to not use or avoid the use of project management software has grown so strong that some vendors providing such software have claimed that their solution is a team collaboration software and is not a project management software.\n\nIt’s acceptable if the project team wants to use a physical Kanban Board. However, we recommend a digital Kanban board.\n\nThe real important thing is to find a way to clearly outline different roles and responsibilities and clearly map out the project plan. Even an excel spreadsheet is a better solution than completely avoiding the use of any software for project management.\n\nProject Management Methodologies for Startups\n1) Chaos\nChaos. No methodology at all. That’s the most common project management methodology for startups. Often the startups think they are going to operate in a place that requires them to be innovative and the first to grab the market.\n\n![Simple Project Management App for Small Business Owners_1.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmR9MpACGTuXaTeB5ZaEaXF8TJZhdyiGJcsG4mYrM5AmPW/Simple%20Project%20Management%20App%20for%20Small%20Business%20Owners_1.png)\n\nIt is possible for you to be unable to find anyone with formal training, and also have only a few resources available for a formal project management methodology.\n\nThe logic behind this method is the fact that most startups will be operating in competitive niches. With that being the case, following the rules and the set process will be difficult to do and at times rules may prevent you from reaching the level of success you want.\n\nHowever, operating through chaos doesn’t work in the long run. Think about it as a battle, even the grunts in the field will need to have some form of structure and discipline to work under. Even the most powerful armies in the world could be beaten by having a good plan in place.\n\nOften the business people will think about San Tzu’s famous quote “in the midst of chaos, there is also an opportunity.” However, he gives us a more specific roadmap for achieving this victory to follow. The victorious army plans first and then go to war.\n\nStartup owners often fail to define processes, while the likelihood of failure increases. Methods such as “Lean” are specifically designed for startups. Even if the startup doesn’t loudly embrace a methodology, the elements of Agile and Traditional processes can be used by in planning, development, and execution.\n\n2) Lean Startup\nAlmost any type of discussion that happens about startups and the project management will have an analysis in this form — this is a concept that is fairly new and was started in 2008 by Eric Reis and has a strong fan base.\n\nThis principle actually operates under the same principle that was used by Toyota in the 1980s. The method helps to reduce the amount of waste and increases productivity.\n\nThis approach to product development has helped a significant number of companies to launch their product faster than ever. You may have heard the term MVP — Minimum Viable Product, which is based on the lean concept.\n\nAs many startups don’t have the initial funds needed for building a product, this concept allows any startup to build and ship the product quickly to the market and validate if the solution they offer actually resolves an existing problem.\n\nThe lean approach to product development accelerates learning, enables quick feedback loops on the product and allows for the next iteration to occur sooner.\n\n3) Agile\nThis is a process that is going to focus on the development aspect, but also in getting the applications delivered quickly without looking at the processes that are in place.\n\nThese often are used to sprint to the finish line. A great benefit here is the project is flexible enough that it makes it easier for you to allow for input and make adjustments as needed.\n\nThis method is one that works great for a startup that does not have a long period of time before they can bring the product to the market. This often helps to work great when not a lot of planning has been in place. You can even adapt this to the changes that happen in the market.\n\nOften the duration of each sprint will take anywhere from two to up to six weeks. The way this project works is it allows for quick adjustments on the go, and that definitely helps out a lot of people in getting out a good product on short notice.\n\nAgile is an iterative and incremental process accelerating the development and delivery of the product with less attention paid to strict methodologies and processes.\n\nThe agile method uses achievable goals and objectives. Keeping your startup and product development lean gives you the opportunity to stay flexible and adjust the product/service development based on factors such as market niche and customers.\n\nWith Agile you have the flexibility to pivot, change direction depending on new market input. For example, if there is a misalignment of the service or the features your product offers and market/customers need, you can adjust and prioritize the development of the right features which fit the current users’ needs.\n\nHow to Choose Project Management Software Fit for Your Startup\nWhen it comes to project management software, there are around 200 free and commercial solutions on the market. This can be overwhelming when you want to choose the right project management software for your startup.\n![Simple Project Management for Startups Tools and Best Practices_1.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZb9WyMbEa4xxAjxCyu1Lc6MhZcfZr3GWbb4N7S5bUMLZ/Simple%20Project%20Management%20for%20Startups%20Tools%20and%20Best%20Practices_1.png)\n\nChoosing the right software is important as it needs to be fit for your business. To determine which software you should consider, you may consider using the SMART evaluation framework.\n\nThe SMART Framework For Project Management Software\n\nSMART is an acronym for Scalable, Mobile, Adaptable, Remote and Transparent. These are all important features that the project management software needs to have to provide the service that your startup needs.\n\n1) Scalable\nStartups grow at a rapid pace when compared to other types of businesses. However, many startups choose low-grade software which has been made with small user numbers in mind.\n\nThese may seem like the ideal solution because they are generally lightweight, but they carry the risk of your business outgrowing them. This will result in you having to find a new tool after you have become used to your current one.\n\nThe solution is to find project management software that can grow with your business. You need to be able to scale your software as your business and team grow.\n\n2) Mobile\nYour team is probably on the go most of the time and not always at their desk. Software that is mobile enabled ensures that your team gets updates to project plans in real time.\n\nThey will also be able to access documents and collaborate with others at any time regardless of where they are.\n\n3) Adaptable\nA mistake that a lot of startups make when looking for software in their early stages is to dismiss the discipline or project management.\n\nThe software they generally get is more of a collaboration software than project management software for startups. While this allows you to stay in contact with everyone, it may not be the best option for your business.\n\nThe project management software that you get needs to be adaptable to any project management methodology including Kanban, Agile, and Lean. For one stage of your business growth, you could be using Lean, but Kanban might be required for some of your larger and more complicated projects.\n\nIf you can access all methodology from one piece of software, you will make your life easier and ensure better results across your organization.\n\n4) Remote\nA lot of startups have virtual teams spread across a number of different locations globally. However, if there is some documentation that everyone is working on, it will need to be in a central location.\n\nRemote teams need to be able to collaborate in real time about issues with the project which is why your software needs to allow for this. Some of the specific functionality that you should look for includes brainstorming, crowdsourcing information and getting feedback.\n\n5) Transparent\nAll team members are expected to have a great level of transparency. This is made easier when they can update the status of each task they are working on so that the project manager does not have to chase them up.\n\nReal-time visibility on the status of all tasks is important if you want your projects to go smoothly.\n\n2 Important Project Management Software Functionalities You Should Consider\nIf you are part of a startup, you already know that the old model of managing projects, where the project manager controls the whole project, doesn’t work in a startup environment.\n\nStartups tend to be democratized and decentralized. Project managers usually play less of a role on the day to day work management.The booming industry of project management software available freely these days, play a significant role when it comes to team collaboration and information sharing.\n\nThis ensures that the project deadlines are on track. From experience, we would recommend two features a good project management software for startups should offer (could be one of the two below).\n\n1) Kanban Boards\nThe Kanban Board is one of the simplest and elegant ways to visualize the project plan. The Kanban board keeps the team focused on a small number task with the highest priority.\n\nAs a task moves from the “To-do” status to “Working on,” “Waiting for Approval” to “Complete,” everyone in the startup can see at any moment the progress and the status of each task.\n\n2) Gantt Charts\nThe truth is that the Gantt chart is one of the best ways to visualize an entire project in one view and keep the team focused on deadline and deliverables.\n\nThese days, there is online project management software which includes simplified versions of the Gantt Chart. Also, the digitalization of the Gantt charts allows it to be interactive so that real-time changes could be made directly into the Gantt Chart itself.\n\nBefore Purchasing Project Management Software, Consider:\nWe’ve outlined 7 basic mistakes that startups could make when purchasing project management software:\n\n1) Failure to evaluate and appraise your needs\nBeing in the market for project management software means that your startup has grown enough to require the software for collaboration, budgeting, decision making, etc.\n\nThe maturity of your startup is probably the main reason you have decided to make the acquisition.\n\nA thorough needs assessment is important, otherwise, you may end up purchasing software in a rush by following recommendations from the internet. This way you may end up purchasing software that fails to address your needs or pay for functionality that you will never use.\n\n2) Being short term oriented and ignoring future needs\nDuring the startup phase the focus is on the present, three months feels like a year. Purchasing project management software that does not factor in future needs is one of the worst mistakes you can make.\n\nKeep in mind that the software should be able to scale as the needs and growth of the company accelerates. Buy with an eye on the future.\n\n3) Failure to scrutinize the licensing contract\nTo encourage companies to buy more some software vendors give ambiguous pricing information. The project management software you buy should align with your needs and projected time frame.\n\nYou do not need to purchase software with a multi-year agreement if you are only planning to use it for a few months. Be specific, buy only what you need and avoid paying for advanced functionalities like third-party application integration that your startup will not be using.\n\n4) Not finding out about the software’s requirements\nNowadays, project management software can be accessed by everyone on a particular team and is no longer meant for the project manager alone. Team members can access this software and use it to update their status and to collaborate with other team members.\n\nAs such, it is good to look for a project management software that will suit the needs of your team. You can achieve this by understanding how your team works before looking for this software.\n\n5) Buying a project management software without trying it out\nMost of the online project management software out there usually offer a free 30-day trial to allow people to try out their software. It is, therefore, a good idea to try out at least 2 different vendor solutions before buying project management software.\n\nHowever, don’t make the mistake of focusing too much on the feel and look of a project management software. Instead, make your decision based on how the software works for your needs.\n\n6) Underestimating the importance of UI\nSome of the project management software packages are very powerful and require training or are difficult to use. Do you have the resources or time to train your time? If not, ensure that the software you choose is intuitive to use.\n\nKeep in mind that when it comes to project management software user utilization is very important, and if the software you buy is under-used, you won’t get value for your money.\n\nRead also:\n[1.

      "body": "13 Email Management Best Practices And Tips\n\n1) Conserve your cognitive resources\nStudies show that restricting email checking to specific, designated times in a day, and signing out and silencing notifications in the meantime, both increases productivity and reduces stress.\n\nThe total time investment may be the same, but spending an hour on email first thing in the morning, before lunch, mid-afternoon, and at the end of the day, preserves the ability to concentrate on specific tasks. Managing email is time-consuming and this is why we have to do it wisely.\n\nDesignated, batch-processing times increase productivity and work quality, as well as reduce stress and lower heart rates.\n\n2) Adopt better email management software\nSkip email altogether when it’s not the right communication tool for the message.\n\nAt any given time, your inbox probably contains memos, tasks, meeting invites, important messages, and junk. Sometimes a phone call communicates faster and more effectively.\n\nAdopt an instant message or chat software for short messages that need quick replies.\n\nAnd use an email management software like Flow-e, that allows quick sorting, delegating, and follow-up of emails, reducing time spent searching and managing your inbox.\n\nA dashboard-style tool that helps you swiftly sort and categorize these different kinds of content makes managing your inbox faster and gets you back to work.\n\n3) Protect your personal time\nThis email management best practice comes as a surprise. This may be the most difficult thing to do, but switch off work emails outside of work hours.\n\nYour friends and family, even your favorite game or TV show, deserve your undivided attention.\n\nProtected personal time is essential for your physical and mental health and actually improves performance during work time.\n\nManaging Email Effectively\n\nFinally, email traffic can be reduced overall, or made more useful and relevant, by making some simple changes to your writing style.\n\nAfter all, a huge amount of time spent writing an email is time spent clarifying prior emails, a trend that is maddening for everyone.\n\nHere are some writing tips to exchange fewer, shorter messages with better communication and outcomes:\n\n4) Use the subject line\nEveryone knows how frustrating it can be if a thread has gone on for some time and the original subject and distribution list no longer applies to the present conversation.\n\nLong threads with off-topic subject lines make email management even more difficult.\n\nBefore you reply-all, check the subject and the distribution list. This tip makes managing email easier.\n\nIf necessary, start a new conversation with the right people and the right topic.\n\n5) Reuse sent messages\nWe all have the type of emails that we send over and over. Strip the “Re:” part in the subject line, update the details in the body, and press send.\n\n6) Lead with the outcome\nOpen the email with the purpose of the email and the desired result, in just a sentence or two.\n\nIf necessary, you can go on to include details and reasoning, but opening with action items focuses the reader’s attention and makes your goal clear.\n\n7) Touch it once\n“Touch it once” means that once you open a message, you have to review it and then act on that email, to do something with it. This email management best practice saved me lot’s of minutes.\n\nDon’t mark it unread once it is read (this is why we don’t have the option to mark an email as unread in Flow-e). If you let an email to sit there for a second review, this will waste time and energy.\n\n8) Write short emails\nWhen writing emails, use clear and concise language. Use as few words as possible. Answer emails as soon as you receive them.\n\nIf you didn’t respond immediately, I would suggest that you inform the sender that you have received the message and you would be in touch shortly. Don’t forget to set a deadline and follow up as soon as you can.\n\n13 Email Management Tips\n\n9) Delegate and specify\nIf the email is addressed to a group of people, make it clear which action items are assigned to which individuals.\n\nEmails with vague requests for action are likely to be disregarded.\n\nOr, worse yet, lead to a bunch of replies which are simply clarifications of the original request.\n\n10) Organize your inbox with folders, labels, and categories\nOne email management tip is to keep the most important correspondence between colleagues, clients, and employees in case you need to clarify any miscommunications. Most email management software programs let users organize messages with the help of categories, labels, or tags.\n\nKeep your inbox organized. The better your inbox system, the easier it is to find emails when you need them.\n\n11) Mind the reply-all\nSometimes it’s necessary to acknowledge the receipt of an email, but nobody wants an inbox full of simple acknowledgments that aren’t even addressed to them.\n\nUse reply-all sparingly and only when necessary. Don’t waste people’s email management time.\n\n12) Skip the sign-off\nIn today’s business world, it is not necessary to close an email with a salutation.\n\nWhile including “best regards” in your signature might be an old habit, it’s not necessary, and can add clutter to a long thread.\n\n13) Unsubscribe from unwanted emails\nClean out the clutter by unsubscribing from unwanted newsletters and promotions. If you haven’t read a particular two weeks in a row, then you don’t need it.\n\nOriginally posted: https://flow-e.com/blog/email-productivity/email-management-best-practices-and-tips/\nRead also:\nhttps://flow-e.com/gtd/\nhttps://flow-e.com/personal-kanban/",

      "body": "Productivity Tips: Use Personal Kanban Boards to Visualize Your Inbox\n\nToday’s busy professionals need easy, intuitive ways to organize their tasks, manage their time, and communicate about work in process.\n\nWhile there are hundreds of tools and apps on the marketplace, people are flocking to personal kanban boards as a simple way to organize complex projects.\n\nIn the book Personal Kanban: Mapping Work — Navigating Life, author Jim Benson says that work unseen is work uncontrolled.\n\nHe writes:\n\n“Visualizing work reduces the distractions of existential overhead by transforming fuzzy concepts into tangible objects that your brain can easily grasp and prioritize.”\n\n“Personal Kanban is based on the principles and techniques of a management concept known as ‘Lean.’ Lean is both a philosophy and a discipline which, at its core, increases access to information to ensure responsible decision making in the service of creating value.”\n\n“Personal Kanban is an information radiator for your work. With it, you understand the impacts and context of your work in real-time. This is where linear to-do lists fall short. Static and devoid of context, they remind us to do a certain number of tasks, but don’t show us valuable real-time information necessary for effective decision making.”\n\nMany personal productivity tools rely on strict systems and rules.\n\nWhile those may work well for some people and some projects, personal kanban boards are more flexible and intuitive.\n\nThe core principles of visualizing work, organizing it by priority, and limiting the number of tasks in progress can be applied to a wide range of goals, projects, situations, teams, and workplaces.\n\nThe key value of using a personal kanban system boils down to these important benefits:\n\n1) Visualizing work\nBy transforming tasks from a text that needs to be read, into cards that can be seen and measured at a glance, kanban boards make workload and backlogs immediately visible and unmistakable.\n\nLooking at work makes it simple to see what needs to be prioritized.\n\nPersonal Kanban Boeards\n\n2) Limiting work\nKanban boards reduce multitasking by limiting the amount of work that goes into a given system or workflow.\n\nLimiting the number of tasks at any given phase helps work progress smoothly through an entire process, from beginning to end.\n\nReducing strain in one process and redirecting assets to another helps overall productivity and output.\n\n3) Designing a Kanban System\nWhether you use a physical kanban board on a wall or a whiteboard, or a virtual one in an app, the basic setup works like this:\n\nIdentify specific tasks\n\nTasks can be grouped under a project, color-coded, or otherwise categorized, but they should be captured and documented individually.\n\n4) Organize Tasks\nA kanban board has three columns:\n\nTo do (or “ready” or “available”): This is the default position of all the available tasks.\nDoing (or “in progress”): As you select and prioritize tasks that are actually being worked on, they move into this column.\nDone (or “finished” or “complete”—whatever wording brings you joy): When tasks are finished, they move into this column.\nSimple kanban board\nSource: Kanbanize.com\n\n5) Finish tasks\nAs work is identified, prioritized, and completed, tasks move through this process, accumulating in the “done” column.\n\n6) Tracking Tasks\nTracking completed tasks is a special value of a kanban system.\n\nAll too often, finished work is simply scratched off or deleted from a to-do list, and it “vanishes.”\n\nHowever, adding visibility not only to work yet to be done but retaining visibility on finished work is extremely important.\n\n7) Here are some of the benefits of tracking completed tasks:\n7.1) Reduces stress\nThe mind tends to focus on tasks to be done.\n\nThis mental focus contributes to feelings of stress and can make people feel overwhelmed.\n\nDrawing attention to completed work reduces stress.\n\n7.2) Adds emotional rewards\nFinishing tasks are emotionally rewarding, and seeing a lot of them creates a feeling of accomplishment.\n\nDuring frustrating moments, it’s enjoyable to turn our attention to what we have done so far.\n\n7.3) Reveals patterns\nRetaining finished tasks will, over time, help to identify patterns and reveal insights.\n\nIt becomes easy to see what systems are working well, what strategies are helpful, and what needs improvement.\n\n7.4) Increases recognition\nIf you are using personal kanban boards in the workplace, a record of completed work can demonstrate productivity, increase recognition, and augment employee reviews.\n\n8) Implementing a Kanban System\nPersonal kanban boards are compatible with many other project management systems and are easily applied to Lean methodologies, Get Things Done (GTD), Inbox Zero, Pomodoro, Agile, and more.\n\nWhatever the system or goal, a kanban board can be created to organize tasks and track them to completion.\n\nWhile many people still rely on making kanban boards with sticky notes and paper, even more, people are making the switch to using dedicated apps and software to organize and track their work wherever they are.\n\nKanban apps streamline data entry, making it easy to convert emails, messages, and text into tasks, and then follow up when they are done.\n\nUsing virtual kanban boards also makes them more easily shareable and collaborative, whoever is on your team, wherever they are in the world.\n\nFlow-e is a new tool for creating and managing personal Kanban boards.\n\nWith Flow-e, emails and messages are converted into tasks and placed into a kanban system with a simple drag-and-drop.\n\nFlow-e applies simple and attractive visualization to all your work, managing communication, to-dos, reminders, delegation, and calendar functions.\n\nFlow-e streamlines email, tasks, and timelines so that you are able to spend more time being productive instead of managing your inbox, reminders, and to-do lists.\n\nConclusion\nPersonal Kanban boards are a simple, effective way to visualize, organize, and monitor everything in your workload.\n\nIt’s no wonder that millions of people are adopting this system in every aspect of their lives, and that industries from manufacturing to software are using kanban to organize teams and boost productivity.\n\nNot only does Kanban help get more things done, more efficiently, but it helps increase the satisfaction when you get there.\n\nOriginal Article:
