Apps aren’t just for fun – there are also a surprising amount of them out there to help you become more productive and efficient in business. While it’s not the best idea to run a full business from your smartphone, you can certainly get a lot done these days, making it easier than ever to work on the go. Here’s our pick of the best apps to streamline your work style.
One app you shouldn’t be without is Evernote, a popular app that lets you take notes of just about anything, and even picks up videos and audio to store for you. With integration to Google Drive and MS Outlook, it’s also easy to sync your life with other people no matter where you are.
If you’re managing a project, or outsourcing, Asana is a great app that lets you seamlessly stay on to of things while communicating with your team. Up to 15 people can join each work space, making it easy to get your project done in a timely manner.
One thing you need to keep locked down is your time, and a time tracking app like Rescuetime can work wonders. Not only does it let you know how much time you’re spending on your apps (and wasting!), it also lets you set goals and block certain sites for a focus boost.
Finally, cloud storage might be a buzzword, but there’s no denying how useful it is when you’re on the road. Use Dropbox, OneDrive, or GoogleDrive and you’ll be able to access all your files from anywhere.
You may also want to automate processes you do daily with IFTTT, a neat tool that lets apps communicate with one another so you don’t have to – this amazing little tool is absolutely indispensable once you start using it!
Give these apps a whirl today and you’ll soon discover your productivity getting much better.
