Be it shopping, gardening,banking or hailing a cab,name a task and there’s an app. Think of these as valuable by-products of today’s tech-rich life. The flip side of this technological advancement is that a lot of us want to do a lot more,in a lot less time.
The good news is that there’s an app for that as well;all you have to do is download it on your mobile tablet. Not only do these apps help complete daily assignments efficiently,they also aid in planning the next day, next week or the next month’s tasks. Here’s the fabulous five:
1. Send Anywhere
You will love this app if you hate cloud storage. It is a multi-platform file sharing service that will let you share content across various devices in real time. So, if you have files that you need to share, all you need to do is open this app, pair with the device you want to send it to with a six-digit key and press send. The best thing about it is that you don’t even have to log in.
2. ClearFocus
If you get distracted easily, download this as quickly as possible. It enables you to set work sessions for yourself and time them. It allows the user to set break sessions as well. The app’s interface is very easy to grasp and use, which helps you to manage your time effectively. It also gives you options like disabling all the apps that distract you- WiFi, or sounds and vibrations in your smartphone. You can also check the total time you worked or how many breaks you took, via this app.
3. SwiftKey
Want to type at blitzkrieg speed? Then download this third party keyboard app. It does take a little time to get accustomed to, but once you master it, you will be able to take notes and more in a jiffy. Also, the keyboard senses your typing style and predicts what emoji you will use next or what word you are going to type. Users can even customise their keyboard via SwiftKey Hub and sync it across all their devices.
4. Evernote
This one offers you a great way to stay organised around the office. The service lets you take text notes, pictures, record audio and videos; and in case you use multiple mobile devices, these files get sync across gadgets automatically. There is a paid and a free version of the app. The free version will let you upload the content that is up to 60 MB in size and comes with a number of options that let you organise, edit and share content. The advice is that download the free version of the app first, see how much space you really need before you promote yourself to the paid one.
5. Todoist

If you have a problem remembering what you need to finish and find yourself relying on clumsy post-its, then this is just the app for you. Add all the important tasks that you have to do and sync it across all platforms, so that your devices can remind you to do a particular job. That’s not all, this nifty organiser, allows users to plan seven days in advance. You can also file tasks under different ‘projects’ like personal, shopping, work or errands.
