Whether it’s working from a local coffee shop, or around the world I have some tools that I use on a regular basis to stay in touch.

My favorite tools include:

• Basecamp
• Google Voice + Skype with a Skype Number. I forward my Google Voice number to a Skype Number, so that whenever I’m on Skype I can take a “local” call. Also, I configured the Google Voice settings so that I receive an email notification for all missed calls and voice mails. This is helpful for when I’m signed off of Skype.
• GoToMeeting Free
• Google Apps for Business – I mainly use Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Sheets.
