These 5 organization apps will get you ready for a fresh start this fall as the seasons change and summer comes to an end.
The summer holidays are over and school is back in session. Everywhere you look you see the store shelves lined with colorful binders, rulers, calculators, backpacks, paper and notebooks.
And while you might be long finished from attending classes and studying for finals, there’s still a piece of you that likes the whole “fresh start” feeling that back to school gives you during the fall.
But, since you probably don’t need a pencil case or binder, the next best thing is to organize your life with our pick of the 5 best apps, assuming you aren’t suffering from app burnout that is.
Oh, and while you’re at it, it also doesn’t hurt to organize your desk and file folders too!
In the meantime, check out these 5 apps to help you stay organized.
1. Evernote
Evernote is the ultimate notepad for your personal and professional life. With to-do lists, a place to take notes, and the ability to save things you see online for later viewing, it truly is an all-in-one app.
You can set reminders, record audio, and you can even jot down quick notes using your fingertips. It’s great for organizing your personal life and it can be used for many things like setting up your meal plan, appointments, your schedule, and much more.
But, it’s also handy for organizing your work life too, whether you work from home or in an office.
What’s great about Evernote is that it also syncs your account with your phone, tablet and computer automatically so you’ve always got your most up-to-date notes – no matter the device you’re on.
2. LastPass
Remembering passwords can be tricky so despite many warnings, people still use easy-to-remember passwords like a birthday or a dog’s name.
What if you only had to remember one password?
LastPass manages all your online passwords and locks them in a secure vault. This app even generates strong, random passwords for you and autofills your passwords when you visit secure sites.
LastPass definitely comes in handy when you realize how many passwords you have to keep track of. There are all your social media passwords, your banking passwords, tools and apps, courses you’ve signed up for, and more.
With LastPass all you need to remember is one password – your password to LastPass.
3. TripIt
Traveling with family can be stressful and overwhelming. Having to remember your flight info, hotel info, car rental details, and more, can be difficult when you have a large family. Especially when you have to keep track of – your actual family members!
Instead, why not let TripIt create an itinerary for you? Just forward your travel confirmation emails to them and they will create a master itinerary for your trip, for free.
4. timr
Do you work from home and wonder how productive you actually are in a day? Or, maybe you work outside the home, but you’re interested in knowing how long it takes you to do errands on your day off.
With Timr you can track your time on the go or at work. At the end of the day, you see the total time tracked. This helps with feelings of being productive and it makes you really visualize how much you got accomplished during the day.
You can “punch in” and “punch out” your work time, and see the time spent for each of your tasks or projects. You can even track your mileage too!
5. CookBrite
Free for Android
Wouldn’t it be great to whip up a dish with the ingredients you have on hand? Well, CookBrite helps you do that.
You just let the app know what type of food you want to eat (comfort food, light food, etc.) and then you fill in the ingredients you have in your pantry. CookBrite will show you a ton of delicious recipes you can make right away – no shopping required.
And each time you go grocery shopping, take a photo of your receipt. CookBrite will automatically update your HomeList so it always knows what you have in your fridge and pantry.
You can plan your entire weekly menu right from this app and CookBrite will create a ShopList so you know exactly which ingredients to buy – and exactly how much.
Don’t Forget to Have Fun Too
