you can express "analog" or "not-so-tech-savvy" people also with "People who have problems to use new tools" or "people for whom using technology in general and new tools especially is difficult". So - if it's difficult for them to adopt to what you find easy - maybe it is easier for you to adopt to what they find easy.
What do they find easy?
You could just ask them.. "What do you normally use when you are working together with somebody?"
Do you have a possibility to meet each other physically? A board with "Todo", "Doing" and "Done" sections and a couple of post-it notes can work miracles.
Apart from that keep it simple - the most basic project management tool is a todo-list. Old people tend to bsend excel-files via email... I know it's awkward, but if it does the job?
One of the collaborators is working in the same studio.
A physical board with "Todo," "Doing," and "Done" sounds like a great idea.
I didn't come up with the possibility as I'm a heavily digital-oriented person. I will give it a try.
For another person, the one who showed a kinda panicked reaction to Notion - she suggested me to use Slack together on the other day. It was quite surprising for me. She said that she found it useful when she communicates with her business partner with slack.
It was a great suggestion from her. While I can record and share the overview of the tasks without forcing her to install new tools.
Hi Yuko,

Hope that helps a bit.
