I always think its interesting to see what other people are doing to organise themselves, automate their processes and make their lives easier, so I wanted to share what tools I am currently using and how they compare to my set up at the beginning. I totally believe you can shoestring it while starting out (and I wrote about more free tools here), but I also believe in spending some cash on comfort and ease!
