Let's talk: Organisation hacks

StephR — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 14:43:22 GMT

We could all use a little more order in life, right? There are so many apps and tools out there that could help us but choosing where to start is a task in itself! Or is that procrastination talking?

So tell us, what apps, tools or techniques help you stay organised and productive in your day to day life?

Do virtual ‘to do’ lists keep you ticking away?

What about family management apps? The shift from school runs to summer camps can be tricky!

Let us know your tips to stay on top, or what tricky situations you need help organising. Perhaps the community can recommend just the thing to help.

I spent 44 years being organised but now I am retired so it's time to allow some disorganisation into my life and my hacking is limited to the weeds.

I like you're thinking! Although, I'm sure the hacking of weeds might be more difficult in the temperature the last few days... 😅

I'm a sucker for a list! Although I currently only use the notes app on my iPhone.

If anyone has any recommendations for 'virtual to do lists' then please do let me know! Would love to give one a try 🤔

I tend to use my Alexa device and Alexa app to help keep me organised. Along with my rocket book (A note book you can upload to one drive, drop box etc) it has a handy organisational bit in it.

Physically writing out a list is a must for lots of people, Vinco, so a Rocketbook seems like a great digital alternative! Thanks for sharing this tip 🙌

My alexa, I couldn't be without it it gives me daily jobs to do and appointments. The life of a fibromyalgia sufferer and brain fog
