The best way to clear your mind and organize your thoughts is to get everything in your head down on paper. Fortunately, there are now a multitude of apps and tools available that work much better than post-it notes.

Below is a list of apps (in no particular order) to help you manage your daily to-do list better. And if you’re still feeling overwhelmed, contact Haney Home Concierge and we can help you sort through your priority list and take things off your plate.

Evernote: One of the longest-running productivity apps, Evernote has a desktop product and app that you can use to add notes in the cloud so that your info is synced up everywhere. There are free and premium plans, and you can attach docs to your notes. The search function and the ability to share notes even with people who don’t have the app make Evernote helpful.

Notion: With a slick user interface, this product covers a lot of bases with customized templates for lists, reminders, recipes, tasks, writing, goal tracking, and more. Personal plans are free, but you are limited to sharing items with five people. The cheapest paid plan is $5/mo or $48 per year. 

Todoist: This app has a unique foldering system with a calendar view that helps you see your priority list in different time frames.There’s also task management built in so that you can delegate tasks to other people.The progress tracker charts are helpful, too. There’s a free version with project caps. For unlimited projects, it’s $4/mo or $36 per year.
