I love to try to get organised in everything I do but I'm not saying I always manage it completely.
However I really do want this year to be my best organising year in our home and other aspects of life and to help me in this I will definitely be using
My iPad is like my diary, filo fax, novel, organiser, all rolled into one and a lot more.
It goes everywhere with me and when I'm at the computer it is sitting beside it.
There are certain apps which just have to be on the first screen of the iPad and on the dock at the bottom so that I can easily open them quickly.
These would include what I consider to be the 5 best organising apps I have.
Of course if you know me any way well you will know that I like free things and all but one of these 5 apps are free.
These 5 apps keep my everyday organised, just exactly as I want it.
Spark by Readdle
FREE
They have a phrase "Love your email again".
This is exactly what happened - I did fall in love with dealing with my emails again.
You really have a look at this because it has a Smart box thing for sorting out your emails as they arrive but also it senses where you will probably want to file your emails and it just looks good.
Google Keep by Google
FREE
Great for short notes, lists, messages, I use it regularly.
So easy to slip in and out for quick note and easy to add photo.
My husband and I use it for those things we need to remind each other about "buying on the way home" or things we need to "find a day to do around the house" etc. plus keep short notes for easy access later.
Syncs great to android phone and sharing with other people and you can colour code everything.
Documents by Readdle
FREE
My favourite place to download files and Pdfs to.
Quick and easy to find and open and read through my files again.
I can move files around easily and it can deal with pictures too.
Doc Scan by Ifunplay
FREE
I no longer use the scanner on my printer this is just far handier, in fact I haven't even bothered to link up my new laptop to scanning software for my printer.
If is called a PDF scanner but you have the option to save as a picture too. Printing from it and sharing from it are simple.
Things 3 by Culture Code
PAID
I use it every day, and in so many different ways.
It's a ToDo app plus so much more.
You can organise everything with this app, make all your lists, have deadlines, make projects, decide when to start work on something and check things off, have repeating todos plus have notes on your todos plus more and more.
I have choice between them all and within each one so to me they are ideal for all I want to do and not hard to learn to use - definitely the 5 best organising apps for me!
