Here’s how to untie the procrastination knot and get work done while isolated.

Take a look at these top-rated productivity apps that’ll help you stay organized and bring focus while you stay safe and work at home. All apps are compatible with iOS and Android!

TODOIST

Acing our list is the Todoist App. Not only does it make organization easy and performable but also clears you mentally so you won’t have to feel clustered and overwhelmed. It’s got it all: adding tasks with just one click, categorizing, prioritizing, reminders for deadlines, and weekly overview along with awarded points for being productive. What’s better is you can even link the app to other important apps such as your Dropbox or Calendar that makes your work all the more easier!

TRELLO

Teamwork makes the dream work, and if your dream isn’t working it’s perhaps time for Trello. While Todoist is certainly best for individuals, Trello is the best for businesses and team management. A simple, easy to interpret project management app, the robot Butler automatically brings in sync the entire team handling tasks such as: custom card and board buttons, calendar commands, and due date commands. Through Trello cards, you can easily overview all information at a glance.

ZAPIER

Jumping from one task to another, chances are you’ve got too much on your plate. For days like these, Zapier comes to the rescue. An app that moves info from various different apps, Zapier helps automate information with workflows called Zaps. For example, you get a new attachment in Gmail, you can automate attachments being downloaded while you focus on other tasks. A have-all tool for saving time.

BUFFER

If your life (and job) revolves around social media, downloading Buffer is a must. Designed especially for managing social media content, the app helps align, schedule and post your content without any hassle on any media platform. What’s more is you can easily look into the analytics of your posts, in-built with the app. Of course, handling social medias can get tricky and Buffer does just the right job for you in handling it all effectively.

ZOOM

Zoom is your perfect platform to hold meetings and team discussions through video calls. But what’s so unique? The app allows screen sharing, whiteboarding, and a ton of other collaboration features amongst team members. Share data, drop files, converse ideas, and much more all while you sit in one place at home.

CAMSCANNER

Last moment documents? Papers that need to be printed ASAP? Don’t worry, CamScanner got your back. The quick app helps scan dozens of materials on the go, edit as needed, and then share externally. The app automatically enhances text and background and you can further choose what format you’d like it in. Optical character recognition (OCR) also helps obtain the text from the image, making it easier to edit and share.

HEADSPACE

All work and no play is exactly what messes up your productivity. Take a breather with Headspace – currently the no. 1 meditation and relaxation app you’ll find. For a quick break, the app guides 2-3 minutes of meditation, plus a lot of other sessions for anxiety, focus, and exercise. With the help of animations, you also learn lots of mindfulness.
