When you’re a busy mom with an ever-growing to-do list, you’d probably welcome any tool and trick that helps you keep it all together. So as we move into a fast-paced time of year, I thought it would be the perfect time to highlight some highly effective productivity tools. You deserve to feel in control of your time, and these productivity tools will help with just that:
Google Calendar
What’s great about Google Calendar is that it’s free, and you can create a different calendar for every part of your life! If you struggle to balance your personal and work life, plus your family’s obligations, then take advantage of this free tool. Color coordinate them, set up notifications, and make the most out of Google Calendar’s accessibility. Never feel overwhelmed by a packed calendar again!
Headspace
Things can get busy when you’re trying to juggle it all. So take just five minutes of yourself a day to be still. Headspace is a meditation app for people like you and me who are busy or might be new to mediating. On the app, you can find short and long meditations for every type of scenario, and after a while of practice, you might even notice a positive effect on your mindfulness. So take just five minutes a day and help yourself with Headspace when you need some TLC.
AsanaAsana
If you’re working with a team, Asana could save you a lot of back-and-forth emails. This project management app allows you to break down extensive projects, assign your team tasks, set milestones, and communicate all in one place. So, if you’ve felt overwhelmed by project management lately, try out Asana and see if that eases your stress.
Slack
Slack is another great productivity tool for teams. Communicate with your entire team all in one place with Slack! You can even create sub-thread for specific projects, sub-teams, and more. Slack is perfect for busy working moms who might juggle over one project at once but still would like to keep all communications in one place.
Evernote
Are you a notes hoarder? No judgment here, but Evernote might make your life a lot easier. The app allows you to store, organize, and sync your notes across all your devices. You can even save attachments in Evernote, including documents, web clippings, images, and even audio clips. So keep all your notes in one handy dandy spot with Evernote, and help cut down on your clutter.
