3 Apps to Boost Productivity in Everyday Life
These days, there are countless circumstances and distractions that keep us from making the most out of our time. Traffic, for instance, is an inescapable reality, especially in Metro Manila. It eats up chunks of our schedules and doesn’t offer many useful activities to engage in. Our phones are also major culprits in keeping us wastefully preoccupied. Social media apps employ algorithms that make it difficult for us to put our devices away and be present elsewhere in real life. Sometimes, even our own indecisive tendencies can get in the way of spending time with our friends and families.
To help you combat these, here are 3 tried and tested apps that make our every second count.
PODCAST APPS:
If you’re stuck in traffic, listening to music is probably your go-to method of killing boredom. However, if you want to maximize the productivity of your commute, podcasts are the way to go. With topics ranging from politics to sports, philosophy to culture and society, there is a podcast out there for everybody. You can even learn new languages through some. Hearing people with other points of view speak about topics you are interested in can definitely help expand your mind. As a bonus, time will also fly right by as you’re listening.
iPhone users have a pre-installed podcast app. The highest-rated podcast app on Android is Podcast Player by CastBox.FM. Podcasts are also available to Spotify users.

MOMENT:
Moment is a background app that tracks what users do with their mobile phones or PCs. It provides a detailed table every day, week, and month about computer and mobile device activities (depending on which devices you install it in). By providing you information about your slacking habits, the app compels you to be more productive with your time. Don’t be alarmed or creeped out by the amount of information it knows about you! They are meant to help the app give you gentle reminders to stop wasting time. It’s very effective in reducing your social media usage.
Moment is available on the AppStore and Google Play.

EATIGO:
Ever asked your friends or family where they wanted to eat and you ended up taking an hour to decide? Eatigo is the solution to this frustrating problem. It is a reservation app that offers crazy discounts. To be honest, it’s a 3-birds-1-stone scenario: no more frustrating “Where will we eat?” conversations, no waiting in line because slots/tables are already reserved, saves a bunch of cash. It’s brilliant!
Eatigo is available on the AppStore and Google Play.
