What woman today couldn’t use a helping hand? From managing your finances to juggling schedules—we lead busy lives. Often there are a million and one things to do, with little time to do them, and keeping a household running like a well-oiled machine is no easy feat.
Thankfully help is just a tap or click away: Plenty of apps on smartphones, computers, and tablets are available to make life easier. No more forgetting appointments or losing important details you’ve jotted down on small pieces of paper. These apps can keep you organized and on top of all of your (and your family’s) activities.
Productivity
1. Evernote: Got a brilliant idea or having a spark of inspiration? If you’re away from your computer or can’t find pen and paper, Evernote lets you snap pictures, record audio, and save the information. It syncs across all your devices, giving you access to the info whenever you need it.
2. Cozi: The perfect app for bringing order to your family’s everyday chaos. Cozi allows you to organize schedules, activities, and appointments. Your family can share the app, keeping everyone organized and in touch.
3. Pocket: Find something on the Internet, and want to read later? Well, put it in your Pocket. You can save articles, videos, and just about anything directly from your browser or other apps like Twitter with Pocket. And, the nice thing about Pocket is that your saves are on your phone, tablet, or computer—no internet connection needed.
4. Mailbox: This app lets you exercise the “out of sight, out of mind” credo on your inbox. Mailbox lets you designate when you want certain messages to reappear—later that day, over the weekend, or in a month—to help declutter your inbox.
Money
5. Mint: Get a total picture of your financial health in one location. Mint allows you to pay bills, set up a budget, and manage your banking transactions.
