“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and consistent effort.” Paul J Meyer
The truth is, everyone could be more productive. All they need is the correct tools and strategies to use these tools. In this article, you will learn about the five essential tools that we use to manage and grow our business efficiently at Ummahpreneur. We think every entrepreneur can benefit by using these tools to successfully start or grow their business.
Let’s dive deep to explore these tools.
1. Asana
The first tool is Asana. This software has been essential to managing projects and operating efficiently within our business. By using Asana, everyone in our team knows what they’re up to, their deadlines, roles, and what we are building together!
Why Asana?
Asana is a powerful and customizable project management tool, and it’s where you can keep track of all of your different task lists, projects and build your business in the most organized ways.
Key features of Asana
- Keep track of projects through deadlines and filters.

The features within Asana such as timeline have helped us map out with clarity how the pieces of our project fit together and enabled us to synchronize our efforts successfully as a team.
Best of all, it’s completely free. We have been using the free version this whole time, so we haven’t paid to benefit from this incredible software.

3. Discord
The third tool is Discord. We use this tool to communicate with each other within our business, and this tool has been essential for building a healthy relationship with our team members.
Why Discord?
Discord is for anyone who could use a place to talk with their friends, teammates, and communities. Discord servers are organized into topic-based channels where you can collaborate, share, and talk about the particular topic that the channel represents.
Key features of Discord:
- You can video call or share your screen.
- By using the features of Channels, you can direct message or discuss important topics with your team members.
- Share files features allow you to share important files, documents, links, photos, and videos with your team members.
Discord helps us keep our team members tight-knit and build a healthy environment and work culture. It has allowed us to be more focused and productive within our business. If we want to talk or discuss something with our team members, we just drop a message in a text channel or hop on a quick call using the built-in voice channel features. We don’t have to create a google meet or zoom link for this, as Discord already has this feature built-in!

Every Tuesday, we have a live podcast broadcast on platforms like Spotify, Google Podcast, Apple podcast, and more, where we interview Muslim entrepreneurs. They essentially talk about their experience, expertise and share lots of beautiful gems on the podcast for everyone to benefit from.
