5 Best Productivity Tools to Help You Get More Done

What’s the biggest problem you face when it comes to getting things done? Maybe you have trouble focusing and need some help with concentration. Or maybe you’re just not sure how to organize all of your tasks effectively so that they don’t overwhelm you. Whatever your specific productivity challenge might be, there are many different tools that can help — especially if you know where to look! This article will walk you through the 5 best productivity tools available today and how you can use them.

1) Google Calendar

Google Calendar is one of the best productivity tools I am using for a long time now. Because it syncs with your other Google Apps and other personal apps, making everything super easy to access and track. But that’s not all; you can also share events with friends, family members, and coworkers so they know what’s going on. It’s great for personal reminders too! Keep track of deadlines and plan your schedule accordingly.

With this tool at your disposal, you’ll never forget a meeting again. I plan my daily schedule a day ahead on google calendar. My Simple motto is “If something is not in my Google calendar, it is never going to happen”. So I almost have every little task assigned to myself on google calendar. This tool is the best you can start using as fast as you can.

2) Slack

Slack is really one of the productivity tools for team collaboration. Slack has different features that can allow people in the company to post updates, share files, send private messages, and more. I started using Slack when I was in a software house 2 years back. This tool really helps me share marketing updates with the team, and updates about upcoming events. Our developers were also using this tool to collaborate with the project owners. It also has an interface that is easy to use for beginners.

For example, it will give you choices when opening an email such as Don’t read, Reply inline, or Open in Slack. One drawback of Slack is that it requires a paid plan which can be very expensive depending on how many members are on your team.

3) Google Keep

Google Keep is a fairly easy-to-use productivity tool. It’s important to have somewhere handy and easily accessible that you can quickly jot down a note, save your passwords, and make reminders. I am using Google Keep for a long time, basically, I save up every little detail on it, I use this mostly on my cell phone and I can also access it on my laptop later.

This really reminds me of things important to me that I forgot often. Google Keep has these features built-in as well as the ability to share notes and create folders. Because Google Keep doesn’t get too cluttered with extraneous information it is easier for the user to find what they are looking for.

4) Evernote

Evernote is a tool that you think maybe is like google calendar, but that is not true. Evernote is a free productivity tool that allows you to easily and efficiently organize your day. You can even use it as your journal. With Evernote, you can save images, texts, emails, web pages, PDFs, and a ton of other things into ‘notes’ which can then be organized into different notebooks for easier access later on.

In addition to this, the app is compatible with a number of platforms so all of your notes will always be accessible from whichever device you’re on at the time just like other Google apps. It’s important to know how you work best in order to maximize its usefulness. I used this app for three months, as a trial, and I found it really helpful and satisfying. Evernote can help you in different ways beyond your imagination.

5) Dropbox / Google Drive

Dropbox is a service that lets you store files and access them anywhere. To use Dropbox, sign up for a free account and start uploading files or pictures. This is the most important tool that I cannot live without. Files are automatically uploaded in the background, so you can start using them right away. If you have to deal with bulk o files or documents, this one is for you.

Google Drive, on the other hand, is also a storage system that lets you share files, images, and videos with your friends, family, or colleagues. It’s easy to set up and easy to use. You just have your Gmail account for that. Believe me, these apps can save tons of time and effort. Set them, regulate them on a daily basis, and you are good to go, you don’t have to worry about the important document that you can’t able to find when usually needed.

P.S. These are the tools based on my personal experience. They have helped me a lot. If someone asks me for the best tools, I would suggest these, always!
