Apps Which Help Increase Your Efficiency
Like it or not, there are two kinds of people in this world. The first is the kind that likes to organise all their tasks and make sure they are done by the end of the day, no matter what. The second is the kind that no matter how much they try, they just cannot finish everything they need to by the time the day ends. If you fall under the second category, then do not worry, because we have your back. Here is a list of apps which, not only are easily available, but are designed to help you finish all your tasks!
1. Wunderlist
Wunderlist did so well when it was launched, it quickly became everyone’s go to app. Apart from letting you create a list of all the tasks you have for the day, this app lets you share the list with people around you. Not only that, this app also lets the people you share the list with edit your content so as to make sure you don’t miss out on any tasks. A bonus point for this app is that the interface was designed so well, it doesn’t get affected even if two people are using it at the same time! Wunderlist did so well within the first few years of its launch, it was brought over by Microsoft!
2. Todoist
Launched in the year 2007, Todoist became so popular, it attracted a user base of more than 5 million people. Unlike others, what makes this app unique is that it offers you a reward of sorts every time you complete a task on your list. From giving you constant reminders on task deadlines and to letting you structure your work as per preferences, this app is every muddled up person’s dream come true.
3. Any.do
With an interface which is absolutely mesmerising, Any.do is a godsend for people with too many things to finish in a day. Apart from giving you the option of organising your tasks on a day to day basis and to changing your tasks according to preference, this app has a new feature called The Moment. This feature gives you a daily update every morning and reminds you to set your calender for the day. Apart from this, features like direction through voice and the ability to close your task once completed by shaking the phone, this app is quite a fun tool. Because after all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!
4. Things
An Apple loyalist, Things is quite a beautifully designed app. Without a loud and over the top interface reminding you to finish your tasks, this app is designed to look like a pocket friendly paper. An added bonus? This app can be integrated into your Apple watch, thereby giving you the opportunity to tick off things on your list by looking at your hand. If you want a pretty app which tells you what to do, then Things is what you should get.
5. SmarterTime
One of the main reasons people can’t organise their time is because they don’t know where it goes. SmartTime helps track your time according to where you spend it the most and gives you a clear understanding of how much time you spend per task. All you have to do is to feed data into the app and it calculates how much time you spend on each activity you do per day. Like Things is dedicated to only Apple users, SmarterTime is currently available only for those using Android phones.
Chalking out your day can be quite a daunting process. However, if you have an app which organises all your tasks for you, then your life becomes extremely simple. If you think we missed out on any other apps like these, comment and let us know!
