Thanks to mobile devices we not only have access to tons and tons of information and entertainment in multiple formats (readings, music, movies, social networks, etc.) but we also have tools in the palm of our hand that allow us to be more productive, that is, more efficient and make better use of our time.
Being more productive means being more organized and efficient, doing more and better in a shorter period of time and consuming fewer resources and thus, ultimately, having more free time for other tasks. With this goal in mind, productivity apps number in the thousands (maybe millions, I haven't counted them yet), but without a doubt it is one of the most important categories in the Play Store. And so today we will take a look at some of the best productivity apps for Android, but do not forget that this is very subjective, and will largely depend on your profession, your volume and level of responsibilities, your personal expectations ...
IFTTT
One of the most interesting productivity applications for Android that you are going to come across in the Play Store is undoubtedly IFTT. With IFTTT you can automate tasks and thus free up time that you previously dedicated to repetitive tasks and now dedicate it to more productive tasks. It is based on "recipes" that you can use from those already proposed or create your own. For example, so that you don't forget to finish reading this article, you can save it to Pocket and have it automatically appear as a task in your Todoist inbox. But this is only the beginning then ITTT works with more than 400 applications and is totally free.
T
And taking advantage of the fact that we have already mentioned it, we can say that to be more productive is to base manage your time and tasks as efficiently as possible, and this means setting priorities and getting feedback that encourages you to keep doing things right. For this, nothing better than the task manager T. Versatile and flexible, Todoist adapts to the needs of all users, and to practically all platforms, integrates with Google Calendar and a lot of additional apps, understands the natural language and even suggests the most appropriate time to do your task.
Pushbullet - SMS on PC
A classic in the productivity category: Pushbullet helps you minimize that gap between your smartphone and your computer. It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux and is a kind of mirror the messages and notifications you receive on your smartphone that will allow you to consult and respond without having to leave the computer.
Trello
Trello is a specially created tool for collaborative work that will be of great help in both personal and professional projects. As a "virtual whiteboard", the projects are boards made up of lists (in the form of columns) and tasks, in the form of cards that you can drag and drop to monitor your progress and focus on a single task. You will be able to assign members, post comments, create checklists for a task, add attachments with additional information, it is compatible with Google Drive and Dropbox and its use is extremely simple and intuitive. Whether you're planning a vacation, organizing your blog posts, or managing a revolutionary app creation project, Trello is the best option.
LastPass Password Manager
LastPass it is just one of the best productivity apps and also one of the best security apps. Is a password manager that stores your login credentials in services and websites so you don't have to remember them, allows you to create more secure passwords, much faster login, and more. If you have to access several sites daily and enter username and password, with LastPass you will save a lot of time and effort.
