Before you know it, 24 hours is up and even the year is close to winding up, and it feels like you’ve not made much progress with the goals you had set at the beginning of the year for both your personal life and your business.
In all sincerity, “Doing More” can sometimes be tough, especially with the many distractions that surround our daily activities. Well, the good news is, technology, particularly with some mobile applications have been built to enhance productivity at your business, within the family, and with your personal life, so that you not only get more done without breaking a sweat, but they put you at a greater advantage to doing more productively.
In this article, we take a look at 8 of such mobile applications because practically, we’ve had fun and made awesome progress using them here at WildFire and it wouldn’t be fair if we don’t share.
An Overview of the Mobile Apps
These mobile apps take a different approach to enhancing your productivity, some that get you more organized, some that effectively improve your communication, some that help you manage your time well, and there’s one that improves your habits.
TRELLO
“Trello lets you work more collaboratively and get more done”
Trello is a project management application built to make it easy for you to keep track of the progress of your work, this way you get to easily add new tasks, know the on-going ones, and the ones that are completed. It also works as a to-do list
