Office Management

1.Timeful

Timeful is an app that syncs with your calendars and gives you smart suggestions on how to use your time both wisely and effectively. Designed to schedule things so you can get them done, it acts as both a calendar and to-do list. This app provides all the help you need to make the most of your time.   timeful-2    

2. Daily Water

water-appWith fewer than 1 in 250 people in the UK meeting their total daily fluid needs with water, this seems to be an app that people should really use. Since your body is made up of more than 65% water, it is essential to drink water throughout the day and ensure you stay hydrated as minimal drops in hydration can negatively influence your ability to concentrate on your work. Drinking water keeps your mind clear and focused on the task at hand. Daily Water helps you track the amount of fluid you drink and reminds you to drink water at the right time.    

3. The Advanced 7-Minute Workout

The last thing you want to do when you get home from a hard day's work is go to the gym, right? Then why not do your workout at work? The New York Times offers a free 7-minute workout app you can do in the office on your lunch break. The app acts as a step-by-step guide, offering animated illustrations of the exercises as well as a timer and audio cues to help you get the most out of your seven minutes. Remember: any exercise will benefit the body and provide positive effects.   7 min
