Apps. The beating heart of your phone.

We use them for everything; banking, social media, music, video, business, photography, news, writing, shopping, travel, home automation, the list goes on.

In each category there are so many to choose from, it can be bewildering.

Workflow: the process you have built for yourself to be efficient and effective, to get things done.

There are some key apps to help with this:

  • Evernote, Apple Notes, Craft for notes
  • Todoist, TickTick, Things 3, for managing tasks
  • Drafts, Ulysses for writing

NB: Other apps are available, which sort of proves my point.

Once you’ve found an app that works for you, and you’ve built your workflow, then STOP!

Constantly changing apps is killing you!

Well. Not you, but your productivity.

Every time you change to something new, a little piece of your world stops.

Productivity is about getting stuff done.
Playing with apps (unless it’s your job) is not getting stuff done.
