This post is not about law or lawyers. It is about apps on my iPhone that I use everyday in my business. They all contribute to keeping my business life better organized and managed. If you are not using any of these, I recommend giving them a test drive.
Evernote:
Evernote caused a transformation in my office. I no longer have a file cabinet full of
documents. Everything is in Evernote,
organized into notebooks and with tags that make finding anything a
cinch. The phone app complements the
desktop program, and allows me to have in my pocket and thus at my fingertips
my full history of office documents for clients, billings, administration,
etc. Download from App Store
Wunderlist: I
tried at least a half dozen to-do apps before I found Wunderlist. It is by far the best, in my opinion. I have lists for clients, administration,
marketing, personal, and even bucket (list).
It is simple to assign due dates and to schedule recurring events. I start everyday with the “Today” view, but
inevitably also check out the “Week” view to see what is coming up. Of course, it syncs with the Wunderlist web
page and Windows 10 app on my desktop computer.
I am not sure I how I ever managed without it. Download from App Store
MileIQ: Using
the GPS on my iPhone, this app tracks every drive that I make. Later, categorizing each drive as “business”
or “personal” is as easy as a swipe left of a swipe right. I now make sure that I never miss a mileage
deduction. Download from App Store
Outlook: I
have 2 Gmail accounts; one business and one personal. The Gmail app only lets me see emails for one
account at a time. Moreover, to see my
calendar, I have to open the separate Google Calendar app. Outlook combines all of that into one for
me. It displays both of my email
accounts at the same time, and includes a calendar feature. Very convenient. Download from App Store
1Password: If
you are like me, you have too many login credentials to count (or remember). I now keep 75 (and growing every week, it
seems) login user names and passwords in 1Password, which is secured by a master
password and/or touch (fingerprint) ID. Download from App Store
