Hello,

This month is a busy time for me. I’m going back to school to teach in person, plus I’m moving out of Barcelona to Castelldefels. It’s only 25 minutes away but feels like a positive change!

Tools

I’m a big fan of working smarter, not harder and automating whatever you can.

Zapier can help you automate time-consuming, manual processes by connecting different apps in your workflow. It’s easy to set up connections, or “zaps” where, for example a sign up to an event triggers a welcome email.

Zapier can bring together over 2,000 apps and they have a basic plan which you can try for free.

Stick with the tools that work for you. Zapier connects more web apps than anyone, and we add new options every week.
