When we think of productivity tools we tend to think about our work life. They do not tend to show up on our radar of ways to live an easier life. Buckle up because the Internet has brought us an incredible number of tools. These are for our day-to-day lives and not just our job.

Automation and Communication

The strength of the Internet and related applications is the ability to easily communicate and automate tasks. The advances in cloud computing, mobile devices, and software as a service (SAAS) have only increased our ability to go paperless in all areas of our life. Better yet, many of these tools are free to use for personal (non-business) tasks. Yes, we will probably see advertisements, but that is a small price to pay for the time we get to save. Many of these tools are easy to use and have email and text messaging built-in so we can share with friends and family. Some even provide a sort of self-service approach to organizing events, scheduling appointments, and confirming the above.
