The all-in-one solution for complex humans
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I manage multiple inboxes, which was originally why I started using Shift. This has since evolved into various workspaces with unique tech stacks and has revolutionized my productivity. I'm able to get more done in less time just by having the apps I need, and nothing else to distract me from the task at hand. I love that I can be signed into 2 different accounts on the same app depending on the workspace I'm in.
Pros
- Organizes workspaces with a unique set of apps for each space
- Enhances the functionality and accessibility of the Google suite
- Reduces the toggling time between apps and tasks
Cons
- I am often signed out of apps that I use frequently, which may be a limitation of the app rather than of Shift
- Bring back the unified calendar option!
- Bring back the ability to open a new tab in our default browser -- I realize this is trying to keep everything within the Shift app, but sometimes I need to simply use a regular browser.
Return on Investment
- I feel more organized and in control of my email and my calendar, being able to see everything in a unified app, but separated into spaces.
- I do need to remember to close this app during deep work sessions, or it is impossibly distracting...between emails, slack messages, band notifications, etc. It is a notification farm so boundaries are important.
- I love it so much I have a subscription for everyone on my team so they can peacefully manage their roles in the organization, and the many hats they wear in other aspects of their lives.
