The Tea

You’re not alone if you find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information that you need to keep track of on a daily basis.

We live in an era of information, which comes with a lot of benefits. We have everything we need at our fingertips, but this also means that we have to work hard to keep up with everything. With every new responsibility or idea, staying organized only gets tougher.

So, what do you do when everything gets to be too much? It may sound strange, but you look to the source. Technology can be a lot, but it’s also here to help us. Below we’ll be sharing the best apps and tools to help you stay organized!

The Brew

Using Note Apps to Keep Track of Your Day

Evernote

Evernote is one of the most popular note-taking applications on Android and iOS, and for good reason. It gives users access to many features, going beyond simple note-taking. You can make to-do lists, copy recipes you find online, and save their ingredients in shopping lists. You can even use it to share information and notes with others. Best of all? Evernote has a free option that gives users access to its best features, so you don’t need to shell out a cent for it.

Google Keep

Google Keep is the tech giant’s entry into the note taking application market, and it’s a great one. Like most note taking apps, it’s relatively simple to use, but Google Keep goes a bit further by offering a lot of extras. It syncs with all your devices as long as you’re connected via a Google account. You can share your notes with others, make doodle notes, convert them to text files and even link reminders to the app. Really solid stuff!

Stay on Top of Everything with Home Assistants

Google Home

Activated and controlled via voice commands, Google Home is a game changer for most households. Instead of needing to fiddle with your phone, Google Home controls your entire house for you, as long as your products sync. It’s simple to use and syncs with your Google apps. If you’re a Google enthusiast, then Google Home should be part of your toolkit.

Amazon Echo

Amazon’s Echo line of home assistants come in many different shapes and sizes, but at their core, they’re fundamentally the same thing. They’re excellent Bluetooth media centers, and also house Amazon Alexa, the company’s own attempt at a personal assistant. Like Google Home, it syncs with your whole house and lets you control things via voice commands. Making reminders and quick searches has never been easier.

Password Managers Keeps Your Accounts Safe and Secure

LastPass

LastPass keeps track of all your passwords in one spot, accessible to nobody but you. While putting your internet security in the hands of an application can sound scary, LastPass is proven to work. It’s by far the most secure way to keep your passwords safe. So, if you’re tired of going through the whole ‘forgot your password’ process, you might want to try LastPass.

BitWarden

BitWarden, like LastPass, is a password manager that works as a vault for all your account passwords. It offers a similar set of functions, the difference is that BitWarden is open-source. This means there’s a completely free option available for personal users that gives you all the key features, including unlimited password storage and syncing, and a secure password generator.

Make Life Easier with Work Project Management Tools

Trello

Trello is a project management tool that uses Kanban Boards to help you keep track of your tasks and work progress. Trello is a godsend for work, making it easier for you to communicate and collaborate with coworkers. It allows you to keep track of everyone’s progress, an absolute godsend in team-based work scenarios. If you’ve had difficulty managing work, then Trello’s for you.

Monday.com

If you’ve been searching for an all-in-one solution for work that supports custom workflows across various teams, Monday.com is for you. Based around the idea of building your own workflow by combining and modifying various templates, Monday.com is widely celebrated by businesses everywhere for its functionality and ease of use.
