Our phones are essential to our work, but how do you make sure they don’t distract you too much? These apps will help you be more productive.
1. Notes to become more productive
You may use the app as a , but the notes app really works wonders for when you want to save things. If you’re still putting vague keywords in your notes, it’s time to delve into what else the app has to offer. Did you receive an important letter, but do you save everything in your iCloud? You can scan these documents via the notes app and convert them directly into a PDF format. Perfect if you do your accounting online or need to send something quickly. Not only useful for writing vague keywords, then.
2. Memories
The app hasn’t been around that long, but it is now a must. The reminders app ensures that you do not have to make a to-do list yourself, and all you have to do is write down the to-do’s. Create reminders for your tasks to make it easier to clear your head and have a clear overview of what you still need to do. This way you won’t forget anything anymore.
3. Do not disturb
We’re probably all familiar with this feature, and it’s not really an app, but it’s indispensable in everyday life. You may not be using it yet, but if you’re really busy during the day and still need to be reachable, this is a handy option. You set a few contacts that can always reach you, and the rest are immediately switched to voicemail. Your notifications are also muted, so you can check everything at another time without being constantly disturbed. This often makes you more productive.
4. Lift to activate
Your phone turns on when you lift it, which is very convenient, but also very distracting. In addition, it also drains your battery and it is a smart tactic to pick up your phone more often. By disabling this feature you will undoubtedly be less likely to look at your phone, and you will automatically be more productive at work.
5. Contacts
You probably already use this app, but are you really getting the most out of it? You quickly enter a name and a telephone number to reach people faster, but you can also add extra notes, places of residence, e-mail addresses and birthdays. This way, the contacts app works as your personal assistant, and you can never forget a birthday or address again.
