5 Apps To Stay Organized In 2012

5

It’s the beginning of the year. Most of us are filled with optimism, excitement and big ambitions for the upcoming year. I know I am. Whether you have made lofty resolutions or just set out small benchmarks for the year, you are probably going to need to stay organized to reach these milestones. One of the best ways I stay organized is through my trusty smartphone. I wanted to share my five favorite productivity/organization apps.

1. Evernote

Evernote is my go-to app. It goes far beyond the ordinary reminder apps. It’s great for note-taking, creating to-do lists, taking/saving photos, recording notes/items, bookmarking websites to read later, etc. It’s set up in a way where you can easily categorize “notes” into separate notebooks and folders. It also syncs between all iOS devices.

2. Google Voice

Google Voice is probably one of the most underrated tools in my opinion. I’m notoriously bad about checking my voicemails. Google Voice makes it a bit easier by automatically transcribing all my voicemails and sending it directly to my email.

 3. Feedly

Feedly is my blog RSS reader of choice. It has a great mobile user interface design. One of the best features is the ability to save posts for later (to read offline).

4. Hootsuite

Hootsuite is a great tool, if you have to manage multiple social media accounts. Whether you are on a desktop computer, tablet or smartphone, all your accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, etc.) are right there. It’s also the easiest app to schedule posts and assign tasks to other people.

5. Mint

Mint allows you to see where you spend your money. You can set budgets, and categorize spending into separate sections (ala rent/mortgage, groceries, entertainment, medical, etc.). It can also be used to track expenses and create expense reports.
