7. Seven Apps That Make Life Easier

From digital calendars to grocery list hacks, I'm sharing 7 phone apps that help me manage my time, reduce stress, and keep things running at work and home. Some are classic, some are a little unexpected, but all have earned a spot on my home screen.

Looking to simplify your daily life with just your phone? In this episode, I walk you through the seven phone apps I personally use to manage both life and work—from time management staples to helpful tools for shopping, security, and capturing ideas on the fly.

These apps can free up time, reduce stress, and help you stay organized.

Apps discussed:

1. Google Calendar (or your digital calendar of choice)

2. Calalarm (to amplify calendar alerts)

3. Reminders (for voice-captured on-the-go to-dos)

4. ClickUp (for organizing and capturing ideas/projects)

5. AnyList (for shared grocery/shopping lists)

6. Instacart or Shipt (for grocery delivery)

7. Authenticator apps & Dashlane (for secure logins and password storage)

Whether you adopt all or just one, I hope something here makes your life a little easier. And I'd love to know: what app are you loving lately that I should check out?

Here are some links to some resources I mentioned:

• The book, Time Smart by Ashley Whillans
• AnyList App (I use the free version)
• Dashlane password manager (I'm not a cyber security expert; this is just the one I jumped to after deciding to leave LastPass after their recent breaches)
