Time is a limited resource and it’s constantly running on empty. You can’t stop using it and you can’t find more of it, but you need it to do absolutely everything. From scheduling meetings to fulfilling orders, time is behind every aspect of running a business and you can’t afford to manage it poorly.

Making a plan or a schedule is always a good start of managing our time. However, sometimes you might spend too much time on planning and do not have enough time to put into action. Here I recommend this app that I use to help you free up your schedule, find time for your personal life, and focus on getting your work done.

Workflow

Workflow is a highly customizable app that shaves time off of the complicated things you do every day. With Workflow, you can create unique homescreen shortcuts on your phone that perform batches of tasks in one click. Whether you want Google Maps to automatically pull up directions for your next meeting or you need your entire camera roll backed up on Dropbox, you’ll be able to create custom apps that take care of whatever you need.

Get Instant Directions to Your Next Calendar Event

I personally use this app for this great function. If your calendar events have a location attached to them, this workflow can jump right into your favorite navigation app to see not only how to get to where you’re going but how long it will take too.

When you open this workflow, you can choose which event to navigate to but you can also customize some other things to make it more appropriate for you and your events.

Reminders

I am the kind of person who might forget something easily when I go to school. This app can help you to set reminders when you arrive at work or schools. It can cut down on wasted time by automating the complex tasks you do on your phone.

Conclusion

I will continue using this app to manage my time and master the skill of time management. It is a great tool for people to use and set plans easily.
