“Productivity is the deliberate, strategic investment of your time, talent, intelligence, energy, resources, and opportunities”
These are the words of the legendary author and professional development expert, Dan Kennedy.
Maintaining optimum productivity levels could prove incredibly difficult given today’s environment filled to the brim with distractions of various sorts, accessible with a single tap.
However, every productive person is driven by a properly planned system, enabling that person to organize, adhere to deadlines, and plan tasks. The system may depend on tools that drive a person’s daily functioning.
We took the time to test and try some of the best tools to improve productivity as you engage with remote work, connect with teams from across the globe and lead more of a digital life than the real one.
Here are the Top 3 digital tools you can utilize to boost your productivity:
A To-do list is a must to maintain some level of productivity as it helps outline the daily tasks you need to undertake. Todoist presents a myriad of features, with the Natural Language Processing being the most prominent one. It recognizes the keywords you enter while setting up a task and adjusts the task’s parameters to align with your needs automatically.
For instance, if you were to write, “Place a call at 12 AM on 6th August”, Todoist would highlight the “12 AM on 6th August” part and automatically remind you at that time and on that date, thereby proactively doing the necessary without being commanded.
Other features include having a streak, setting a daily minimum task completion, and organization is super easy in Todoist. You can have tasks within tasks, divide them into projects, and then divide them into sections.
