My Apps for Productivity


This two months I eventually tried many kind of apps for my daily routine, Especially apps that not only can be used in smartphone or tablet, but also laptop or PC. I found many kinds of apps from Google Play (I use Android btw), but I believe these apps that I want to give it to you for  a try are also in Apple Store.

So, basically I try to use these apps for more than 1 month every day and now I already used to them.

ToDoist
This is an app for your to dos every day. Actually I also use my planner for listing my To Dos but it's for reminder. But this app is more than that. I can put as many To Dos as possible and can plan recurring work for every week or every month. Therefore, I'm not going to lost my schedule. You can  use this app in ToDoist website and they will sync with app in your gadgets.
The website is : en.todoist.com

Evernote
As we know, many apps for notes. Even our gadgets have built-in notes inside. But, then I found this Evernote app. My husband told me about this app and I found it very useful for me to type any notes everywhere. In this app, I can make notebook which is place to save many notes. This notebook also can be shared to friends if needed, also can have a chat together by the way. It's fun to do. Not only that, but evernote can also save website you want to read later, called Evernote Web Clipper. You can install it in your browser and just click it when you want to save webpage and read later. In the notes, you can save not only words but also pictures. Very useful and of course can be installed in many places which are not only in gadgets or website usage, but also in laptop or PC.
The download link is : https://evernote.com/



Goodreads
Maybe some of you already familiar with Goodreads, especially bookworm like me. haha This app can save many books, any ind of books, as long as they have the book information in their database, and I believe their database is incredibly big enough to store many books' information. I can save my owned books, to-read books, and currently-reading books. I also can set yearly goal of my reading (I have 100 books to read in this year, pretty crazy). Not only that, I can see my friends' book list and maybe try to find the book in the bookstore. The app is not really good for gadget, but you can use it if you want. My preference is open via Goodread's website in https://www.goodreads.com/

Dropbox and Google Drive
These clod services are the best that I could find. Dropbox can save many files in one place which can sync with my gadgets. I can share my files in dropbox with my friends but we can't edit the file in a time. Therefore, I also use Google Drive to store "project" kinda files that need to make together with friends. Because I use tablet, it makes me easier to work with files editing. Even in the bus I can finish my works and don't need to bring my laptop everywhere.
Find the cloud services in dropbox.com or drive.google.com

Booking.com
For people like me and my husband who like to travel a lot, this website is a good place to find from cheap until expensive hotels. If you want cheaper, you can use Airbnb which is for backpackers. But, if you're not backpacking style person, you can use Booking.com. You can find many hotels that have "Pay Later" option which is not pay when book, but pay when arrive. But, be careful when choosing hotels. You can check the review from people who visit. Even the rating is not really bad, but sometimes the review can make you think harder. My experience, I found a hotel that not really bad and cheap but then some reviews said that it's in the "red" area which means many girls outside when night arrive. -__-" So be careful.
The website is : booking.com

Johnson & Johnson 7 Minute Workout
Yes you didn't read it wrong. It's Johnson&Johnson. The baby's powder brand!! haha But they provide this app that already reviewed by PC Magazine as one of the Top 10 Best Productivity Apps. When I tried it, I just like "waow I want more" :p Basically this app help us to work out at least 7 minutes a day, with guidance of course. We can set work-out level by ourselves so that the app will adjust by our needs. The workout also quite simple but really can make sweating (not a lot but enough). It's very good for people like me who is very lazy to work-out. haha
You can try by downloading it in  : https://7minuteworkout.jnj.com/

Okay...that's my suggestions of apps you can use for your daily routine.
Hope it can help you be productive in your daily life.
