Great Apps That’ll Make Your Life Easier
1. Freedom
One-sentence Benefit: Have a distraction-free workday by blocking websites.
Freedom prevents the guilty pleasures that we all have of checking our emails, social media, or other websites that distract us from getting things done. What’s useful about this productivity app is that you can use it on any of your devices(i. e., mobile, tablet, desktop), and it allows you to schedule blocked-off times ahead of time.
2. Hemingway App
One-sentence Benefit: It’s basically your personal editor.
Hemingway has been a dear friend of mine ever since I’ve started blogging back in 2013.Whenever I write an important post for my blog, I go to Hemingway to make sure my writing is error-free.
All you have to do is copy and paste your article into Hemingway, and it will analyze your writing from its readability, grammar errors, alternative suggestions, and so on.
3. Wunderlist
One-sentence Benefit: Meet the ultimate to-do list organizer.
I used to have one giant to-do list, where I would write down all of my tasks for the week. It didn’t quite occur in my mind that I should be creating different categories within my to-do list, in order to keep it organized and focused, until my friend recommended Wunderlist.
Now I have over 15 different lists, from personal, work, health, and so on, and it certainly gives me a peace of mind.
4. News Feed Eradicator
One-sentence Benefit: Replace your friend’s vacation photos with inspirational quotes.
Scrolling (滚屏) through your Facebook News Feed can be a workout on its own. While I love staying up-to-date with my friends, I haven’t felt the need to depend on Facebook to do this.
While there’s no data to back this up, my level of productivity and overall happiness seems to have increased since I’ve stopped consuming what others are up to, and started focusing on what I want to do.
