One of the most popular productivity apps you can find, Insight Timer offers over 7000 meditation guides, and connects you with a broad community of teachers and seekers alike. Think of it as one huge, digital retreat.

Any productive individual can tell you that knowledge is key. Sure, you can spend all day at the nearest library, or you can instal Blinkist. The popular app curates the most helpful passages from over 2000 nonfiction books, and then delivers the content to you in 15 minute increments.

Evernote is such a popular organisation and productivity app that it hardly needs an introduction. Use it to streamline both your work life and personal life. It’s also the perfect resource for syncing with co-workers on group projects.

Inspired by Jerry Seinfeld’s painstakingly simple (yet tremendously effective) “Don’t Break the Chain” philosophy, Momentum is all about increasing productivity by having you develop and sustain new habits over time. The longer you keep the chain alive, the more routine your habits become. May it grant you all of Seinfeld’s success, or even just a fraction of it.

No single productivity app puts co-workers on the same page like Slack. Use it to manage your personal workflow or sync with your project team. Seriously, you might as well get this app now because your boss will soon make you get it anyway (if he or she hasn’t already).

After a long, hard day at work, the last thing you want to do is to come home and realise you forgot to pick up the milk, figuratively (and literally) speaking. Get all tasks big and small out of your head and onto your device by instaling Remember the Milk.

Another aspect of modern life that can always use more organisation? Your email box. Don’t waste another second trying to optimise your emails.

18. Google Drive

Like everything else from the company, Google’s note-taking service (aka Google Keep) keeps it clean and compatible. Taking notes and giving feedback has never been more efficient.

The modern age might be rife with themes of connectivity, but let’s be honest it’s not easy getting all your apps and devices onto the same wavelength. Heeding the call is IFTTT, which gathers all your various technological outlets into a single hub, making for one big happy family.
