At the start of each day, every team shares the same goal: get stuff done, push projects along, and finish the day feeling accomplished. However, before you know it, endless notifications, information in too many places, and jumping from one app to another pulls at your focus, and you find you are not working on priorities. Instead, you are managing the chaos of priorities.
The funny part is, the issue is not that we do not have enough tools. Most teams already have too many tools. One app for chat, another for documents, a separate one for meetings, and a separate app for tasks. What starts as a coordinated assortment of tools becomes a chaotic maze of distraction. What was once meant to clarify your work has introduced friction into the way you work, slowed down decision-making, and made collaboration harder than it should be.
What teams need is not more applications. They need to spend less on apps and something better designed. This is precisely what Lark can do. As one of the best project management tools, it combines messaging (chat), meetings, calendars, documents, project tracking (board), and approvals into one solution; it also connects what’s essential to your work and strips away noise in your day. This creates the work area where everything is synced, workflows are seamless, and teams can focus on achieving meaningful progress, rather than managing disconnected tools.
- Lark Base: Projects without the spreadsheet sprawl
Most teams begin with spreadsheets. They’re flexible and familiar, but they don’t scale well. Before long, you’re juggling tabs, struggling with version control, and wasting hours reconciling data.
Lark Base changes the picture. Think of it as a flexible project hub that adapts to your needs:
- Switch between table view, Kanban boards, or calendars.
- Automate updates, like task assignments or status changes.
- Centralize data, so everyone sees the same, accurate version.
Instead of cluttered spreadsheets scattered across drives, you have one clean workspace. It’s not just tidier—it’s more reliable. Teams don’t waste time searching for “the latest file” or second-guessing numbers. Base becomes the trusted single source of truth.
- Lark Approval: Say goodbye to email backlogs
Approvals may seem small, but when they’re stuck in someone’s inbox, everything slows down. Expense claims, leave requests, and project sign-offs pile up, creating unnecessary clutter in your automated workflow.
Lark Approval clears this roadblock. Employees can submit requests in seconds, managers get notified instantly, and decisions are logged automatically—no more chasing signatures or forwarding emails.
The real impact? Momentum. A project doesn’t stall because someone missed an email. Teams keep moving forward with confidence, knowing approvals won’t become bottlenecks.
- Lark Calendar: Meetings without the scheduling chaos
Scheduling is one of the most underestimated sources of workplace clutter. Coordinating across time zones, copying links into invites, and juggling multiple calendars—these tasks eat into productive hours.
Lark Calendar removes that noise by connecting scheduling directly with the rest of your work.
- Availability shows up in real time.
- Messenger chats can become calendar events with one click.
- Docs can be linked directly into meeting invites.
Instead of treating scheduling as a separate task, Lark makes it part of the flow. Meetings stop being a headache and start being just another natural step in your workday.
- Lark Forms: Feedback without friction
Collecting feedback is often harder than it should be. You build a survey in one app, send it through another, and then manually import results somewhere else. That’s three tools for a straightforward process.
Lark Forms keeps it tidy. You create and share surveys inside Lark, responses appear in real time, and results can flow directly into Base for analysis. Need RSVP counts for an event? They show up instantly. Want employee feedback? It’s collected without breaking the workflow. No scattered files. No extra steps. Just streamlined input that keeps work clean.
- Lark Messenger & Lark Meetings: Conversations that stay productive
Chat tools can be a blessing—or a black hole. Without structure, messages pile up, important notes get buried, and constant pings clutter your focus. Lark Messenger is designed to cut through the noise.
- Pin key messages for quick reference.
- Use intelligent search to find past discussions instantly.
- Convert conversations into tasks without leaving the chat.
The same philosophy applies to Lark Meetings. Auto-generated transcripts and highlights capture the discussion without requiring someone to take messy notes. Recordings can be shared directly in Messenger, and action items link into Docs or Base.
The result: communication that fuels productivity, not clutter.
Conclusion
Workplace clutter doesn’t arrive all at once. It builds slowly, in extra tools, duplicate files, and slight delays that compound into frustration. The tragedy is that most of it is avoidable using business process management software. However, with Lark, your workday doesn’t have to feel like a constant cleanup operation. Base keeps projects consistent. Approval clears email backlogs. Calendar simplifies scheduling. Forms streamline feedback. Messenger and Meetings make communication actionable.
Together, these features don’t just remove clutter—they unlock focus. Teams finally spend their energy where it matters: on the work itself. That’s the more innovative design behind Lark. It’s not about more tools. It’s about better flow. And for growing teams, that makes all the difference.
