As a business owner and a small business advocate, I am always on the lookout for new ways to improve efficiency and streamline the way business works.
Here are my Top 4 Apps to use to help your small business work better and help you manage your time more effectively.
1.Things (on Apple watch)
This is a to-do app and what's different about this app is that you just put 3 tasks per day that you know you must complete. For me, I have 2 to-do lists. The first is my dump list (this where I just "dump" everything that I need to attend to) and a second to-do list is things I'm actually able to achieve for the day. I use Things for the 3 tasks I can achieve in the day and Todoist and Sticknote for my dump list.
2. Hubdoc
This is a document capturing app and cloud filing system (it is best used with Xero). It's great for capturing those pesky parking, cafe, petrol station receipts that either fade or disappear in your pocket and bag.
3. Session Buddy
This is a tab and bookmark manager. It works for me because I'm one of those people that needs to open at least 6- 10 internet browsers so that I can start work and Session Buddy helps me to manage this.
4. Clipboard History
This app keeps a record of the last 150 copy and pastes. The benefits include:
- look up your copy history
- pin your favourite copies, e.g., email address, address, phone numbers etc
- sync and shares your copy history and favourites across other devices
- it's an inexpensive and easy to use interface
I'm always looking for new apps to streamline my processes so if you have any recommendations, I would love to hear them in the comments.
