Feb 13, 2023
You’re not a machine!
You’ll tend to, if not forget things, stress about forgetting them. You’ll write notes everywhere but never get around to actually looking at them. You might give your team member a task and forget that it’s now delegated. You may not be sure how much time tasks are taking with you and so your planning is poor.
The list is endless. All you hear about is how technology is distracting you, making you lazier, wasting your time, RUINING YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.
True AND false
You just need to go to the right technology and make it work for you, instead of you for it! Thankfully, in today’s digital world, many applications and softwares are here to help you operate your business, assign tasks, organize time, meet deadlines and manage your team.
Here are our top 5 applications that will take your workflow to the next level:
1. Any.Do

You can also keep track of your progress, organize your calendar, and sync on all devices. They even got a grocery shopping smart list!
Also, it has a cute little function to help you focus. You select the task you want to work on from your to-do list and tap on the “focus” button. You then set a timer and if you leave your phone alone for the amount of time the timer is running, you’ll grow a little tree. It’s a nice little visual incentive, the more focused time you spend, the more filled with trees your digital forest is.
2. Slack
