Top Mobile Apps to Help You Organize Your 2017 Schedules

Now that 2017 is here, some professionals or small business owners are looking into shifting from paper-based tasking to becoming organized using applications that act like personal assistants to handle important tasks like schedules and getting organized. Seeing as there are a host of mobile apps up to this task out there to help get the work tasks together.

Wunderlist

Wunderlist manages your to-do list. This free app for iOS will keep you organized in the most basic way possible, organizing your daily tasks and lists. The Smart Lists hide what doesn’t need to be shown and recurring tasks and sub-tasks are simple to create. You can be even more organized by assigning your tasks to others and then getting a message when they are complete.

Google Now

You probably never knew that Google has a personal assistant app except for Siri. Oh sure, you could ask Siri just about anything, but you may be looking for a virtual version of an office secretary instead of a British butler. If that’s the case, it may be time to download Google Now, the “intelligent personal assistant” available for iOS and Android, as well as your desktop. The app organizes just about everything you can think of, giving assistance around the clock. Information is organized into cards that provide all the info you need without you having to spend time searching. The cards are customizable so you see what’s important to you like traffic, weather, relevant websites or sports scores. The latest update includes barcode scanning, song recognition, and the ability to store your boarding pass.

YouSendIt

YouSendIt lets you share, store, and sign files. If you need to share with a little more strength, this latest free iOS app provides a comprehensive and enhanced mobile service for accessing documents, presentations, video, and more from anywhere. Beyond sending files, you can also store files to shared folders and sign documents. Any changes are securely synced and instantly available for other devices and people. A mobile suite of services is also available for Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, and Android.

Expensify

You can photograph receipts with Expensify. There is nothing like a bunch of receipts to make you feel unorganized. This free app is available for virtually every platform and makes it easy to track all kinds of expenses. Perhaps best of all, it lets you snap a photo of receipts and categorize expenses, and can sync to QuickBooks online. It’s a great app for the pain and mess of expense reports.

24me

If you are forgetful, then you need a virtual personal assistant that works like a second brain. 24me auto-generates reminders so you will never miss an important meeting or event, or forget to pay a bill. 24me combines your calendar, to-do lists, and notes all in one easy-to-use, clutter-free app. It syncs with other apps, like Facebook, to send messages to your friends on their birthday in case it slipped your mind, and lets you share notes with coworkers or friends. The app is free to download and is now available for Android.
