What's in Your Pocket

Take control of your life, by utilizing organization apps. Put power in your pocket.

In today’s day and age there are billions of apps available for both Android and iPhone users alike and there are thousands designed to organize the entirety or the many different facets that make up our daily lives. The goal is find which app works best for you. No need for a personal assistant when you have the ability to keep track of all your thoughts, tasks, appointments, lists and more in a hand held device that slips easily into your pocket. In the spirit of encouraging you to find the organizational app that works best for you, I have taken it upon myself to download and install a few of the most recommended organizing apps for the year 2019. Now I know this would have been a great post to have made at the beginning of the year, but lets face it, most of use do really well the first two weeks with the organization systems we put in place in January only to have like sweep us off our feet wondering where the time has gone, and when we are ever going to catch up with our busy lives. I don’t know about you, but I need a new system and since I seem to never be home an app sounds like a good way to go. I downloaded the following apps and at the end of the month I am going to review the different apps, what makes them unique, what I found to be helpful, and which app worked best for me. I would love it if you joined me in finding the perfect organizing app and commented below what you found to work best for you.

The apps I have decided to explore the rest of February are: 24me, Mint, The Vault, and MindNode 5.

24me

Is an app designed to be a personal assistant, it is an app that promises to do it all. Its a calendar, to-do-lists, and appointments all in one place.

Mint

Is an app that links to your bank account to keep track of what is being spent, breaks down your monthly budget to show where money is being spent, keeps track of bills and has systems in place to help you increase your credit score. I am excited and yet dreading to see where all my money seems to go.

The Vault

Is an app exclusively designed to keep track of accounts and passwords in one easily accessible yet protected location.

And last but not least MindNode 5

Click to visit page

Is an app designed for organizing thoughts. The app is supposed to allow creative thinking by providing a place where one can organize and work out the details of the ideas they have on a regular basis.

All of these apps serve their own purpose and the conclusion may be that no one app can do everything, but hopefully through this process we will learn what does or doesnot work for us, what apps functions we will rely on and which are not necessary. The goal is to complete the month knowing what we have all we need to be organized at our finger tips, we need only reach in our pocket.
