You may already know graphic design platform Canva as a go-to resource when you want to create beautiful visuals, but its Whiteboard feature is also a fantastic tool for brainstorming with teammates.

Struggling to put down your phone?

If you get distracted and pick up your phone, your tree will perish, and you’ll have to start your forest from scratch. As you stay focused, you’ll unlock new trees – helping you visualize the (literal) fruits of your labor.
