Productivity apps are a man’s best friend and can help you go through your day compartmentalizing what you need to do, prioritise, and manage. Whether you’re a businesswoman, a working mum, or a student, these apps will make your life a whole lot easier.

Below is a list of the top productivity apps — old, new, or updated — ones that have become or are becoming fan favourites.

1. Evernote 

This app has been a constant in almost every top productivity lists ever since its inception, and it has only gotten better. Evernote is probably the best tool you will ever come across that not only will make you productive, but will leave you feeling organised, efficient, and effective as well.

It is a great reference workspace, has powerful in-app features, and provides the highest organisation levels — even for those who don’t believe in their organising skills.

2. Sunrise

I’m just going to say it — the Sunrise app is one of the best Calendar aggregators out there. It is a beautiful, simple, and very useful and efficient Calendar app. It syncs so well with any calendar application you have and seamlessly offers you your schedule throughout the day, week, and month.

3. Dropbox

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a professional or a student, Dropbox is an essential tool for providing extra memory space for your files. You can even use it to share links, folders, and images. It is very secure and you can easily control who you share your data with. To top it all off, it now has an in-app editing capacity and you can now view your files from the app itself.

Oh, and it syncs well on all your devices and so you can have the latest version of your files in real time. Perfect and reliable!

This app is best for any kind of collaboration, Google Drive is one of Google’s best features yet. You can create documents and files, and update files in tandem with other people, in real time. It can also double as a storage space for all your company’s files! Awesome!

5. Buffer 

Having a business can mean spending lots of time on Social Media especially if you want to keep up with everyone’s time zones and post that perfect tweet at the perfect time. Enter Buffer- your Social Media schedule and post manager that works while you sleep! You can send out tweets and posts across multiple profiles at whatever time you want. How convenient!

There you have it! These apps will certainly get you through any kind of productivity slump. Pair them with the right amount of discipline and hard work and your productivity levels will skyrocket!
