How to make your work easier and faster

In this post I'll show you some great tools to make your work and life easier.

To-Do

The most important app for me is a list of my tasks to do. There are many useful tools to systemise our work and save our tasks to later. These are my favorite:

Trello gives us a possibility to create task boards, with tasks. We can separate them to smaller, add pictures, schemes. This tool also allows us to work in groups. Trello gives a big variety of customize of our board. If you need you can purchase Trello Gold but in my opinion free version is sufficient. Trello also has mobile app available in the Google Play and the App Store .

Alternative for Trello. In Todoist we can create our task for every day, plan and synchronize them with our calendar. We can create projects, labels, filters and give a priority to our tasks. Here I recommend to find a code for Todoist Premium. There are a few interesting benefits we can get, but it's not worth it to pay. Todoist is also available in the Google Play and the App Store.

Save articles for later

Pocket is a great if you want to save an article for later. Just install browser extension or mobile app and click pocket icon. *Pocket is a storage for unread articles. If you don't like ads you can buy Premium Upgrade (IMO not worth it).

Google Apps

Apps from Google are great and free alternative for Microsoft Office, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive etc. Google Docs are good enough for typical work, we can store our documents on Google Drive, also for free.

For graphic designer newbies

Paletton is an online tool for testing colors, hues, presets etc. Professionalists won't need this tool but for for beginners this isn't bad choice.

If you to be all fingers and thumbs with graphic apps you should use Optimizilla - trivial tool to optimize images.

For programmers - Github

There I storage my programming projects. Github gives us a great UI, and a lot of charts, and options to sharing code like "pull requests" and "issues". There we can follow our favorite programmers, and read their code. Github allows us to build our website based on Jekyll. If you are a student you can receive Github Education Pack - set of developing tools for programmers. Premium on Github costs 7USD per month and gives us a possibility to create private repositiries (IMHO worth it).

Feedback

If you know any useful tools - write a comment! :)
