As fall sets in why not turn over a new, productive leaf?
Technology is one of the best ways to make yourself more efficient and offload some of those pestering to-do’s when you don’t have a clone on hand or a set of octopus arms to assist. We all know that any extra minutes in the day are essential to more me-time and other healthy activities you love. Plus the free time can leave you time to have a major mental health break.
Give your overactive schedule some relief and churn out your tasks left and right with these 5 shining productivity apps:
1. iThoughts
The mind mapping tool helps with brainstorming, but it can also be used for project planning and goal setting. Use this tool to get the ideas flowing.
2. Done
Done is an innovative to-do list that fulfills the joy of crossing things off your list and getting things DONE. It allows you to set individual due dates for items across multiple lists and you can even add your most pressing to-dos to your phone wallpaper so you won’t forget what you need to finish up.
3. Pulse
Bring all of your favorite websites, news feeds and magazines together in one colorful and interactive mosaic with Pulse. The social organizer allows you to save stories you want to read later with a browser bookmarklet.
