Apps to improve work-life balance?

[Marjo]

Hey guys!

I was taking a look in the O2 business blog and they have an article about '5 top apps to improve your work-life balance'. They list...

• Trello (for to-do lists for task tracking)
• Microsoft Office 365 (for productivity on your mobile)
• Toggl (for keeping track of the time)
• Pacifica (for tracking and stopping stress)
• Simply Yoga (for relaxing and calming the mind)

Have you tried these? Do you know any other apps for making working life easier (or for work-life balance in general)?

For me, the to-do list apps on my phone are super useful if I have loads of different tasks to track, however I think personally nothing beats a traditional post-it note that I can just stick on my desk.

My work-life balance is great @Marjo: I'm retired 😉

Good point! So the question would be apps to improve life balance, without the work part.

I want an app to help me walk...

Funnily enough, 3M Company have an app called Post-It Plus. iOS > Productivity

It depends, what do ppl mean by making work easier, or work-life balance?

Most apps are designed to assist the user in one area or the other.

My rec? The off switch at the top of the device.

Thanks @Anonymous, I checked out the Post-it one but sadly didn't have any notes lying around on my desk currently. I'll try when I have some!

Regarding the off switch you mentioned, brilliant. What I did recently on my phone was 1) disable email notifications (I read them on my work computer anyway) and 2) disable all the notifications from games.

2 things I realised: much easier to concentrate at work and also my iPhone uses less battery during the day!
