While technology offers convenience, it is also accused of being a productivity killer. Many people waste half of their day looking down at their smartphones and rarely use it for any good.

However, people aware of the many amazing apps available on several platforms know how to use these applications for their benefit.

Today, we have rounded up a list of 11 apps that help improve your day so you can spend it doing the things that matter.

Headspace

Headspace, which available on the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store teaches you meditation by building your routine over time. The application ranks second in health and fitness on Android and calls itself the ‘gym membership for your mind.’

It starts off with asking you to log-in (you can do this through email, Facebook or Spotify), after which you will be asked about the intensity of meditation you want to start off with and finally, you must define your purpose.

Depending on your answers, you will be presented with a 5-10 minute meditation routine which will set you up for the relaxation.

You’ll appreciate Mindshift because it doesn’t just have a simple and fun to interact with the interface, but also provides information about anxiety, where it comes from and how you can tackle it without getting stressed.

WaterMinder

If you forget to drink water and end up with mid-day headaches, stay hydrated with the WaterMinder app. Dehydration not only makes you sluggish but also makes it hard for you to focus on something.

If you find it hard to focus on your to-do lists, the Trello app is the answer to all your problems. The application or software is a project management tool which lets you sort through tasks and collaborate with other members of your team.

The application helps you with your day and work responsibilities and make sure no task gets lost in the sea of emails you receive in your Inbox. Once you create and pin a task, goal or project to the digital bulletin boards, you and other team members can attach and comment on the cards to make sure everything is streamlined.

Wunderlist

Another office/project management tool we like is the Wunderlist. This application, which is available on Android, iOS, Windows and the web, helps you coordinate with your teammates, friends and family members.

You can pin your to-do-list to Wunderlist and others can help you get it done. It will help you track, complete and share your goals so you don’t have to worry about being alone.

Pocket

Do you procrastinate because you find something interesting to read on the web? Pocket is here to rescue you from your time-wasting habits because it will help you bookmark any article, blog or book so you can read it later when you’re finished with work and have some time.

Save everything on one platform and you’ll be glad you found this application.

Cozi

If you and your family members find it hard to plan anything because of a hectic schedule, consider installing Cozi on your device. The app can schedule activities, plan meals and keep track of unexpected changes so you don’t have to stress.

It puts all your family’s information in one place and lets everyone access it so you don’t have to argue about what you want to have for dinner.
