One challenge many of us deal with today is information overload. Yes, we are barraged with various types of information and this includes the choice of mobile apps to use.
To help me stay productive, there are a number of mobile apps I use on a daily basis. Therefore, today’s piece is on apps that make us more productive.
As you already know, I am mindful of optimum productivity because I have come to accept the reality that even though the Internet and mobile technology have brought us so much convenience, there is a tendency for us to end up less productive if we don’t control the amount of information we have to deal with everyday.

The very first app that I intend to use a great deal in 2017 is ClearLock. This is because I am constantly working hard to ensure that technology and all its many useful tools do not take control of my life. It’s a smarter strategy to be the one to decide when to use or not to use an app.

One of the most interesting things I enjoy about Evernote is that I am able to use it seamlessly on all my devices as it syncs automatically, saving my data on its secured server. The mobile version is cool and handy. I have since stopped typing anything on my PC’s notepad since I switched to Evernote because it keeps my content safely in the cloud.
This app might just be it for you.
