Google Drive
Thank God for Google! This file storage service by the search engine giant comes in word format, excel, powerpoint, forms and others. You can use it to create lists, organize, share and store files. It provides various interfaces to help you organize your thoughts and action plans. One beauty about this service is that a link to the document you are working on can be shared with friends and family who are helping with the planning and they can also edit it. It’s a great resource to use to work together at the same time with your planning team. It’s definitely worth it.
