TechieOasis: 5 Apps that make it Easier to Manage Your Time

Do you have enough time to get everything done? In today's hectic world, it's hard to squeeze in every little task and chore. Here are five apps to help you stay organized and on top of your game.

Dropbox

Sharing files used to require all sorts of effort, from turning on your printer to buying postage stamps to storing info on a CD or hard drive. Dropbox allows you to save documents and share them with others via the Internet. "Your stuff, anywhere" is the company's aptly phrased slogan, and it embodies the heart of Dropbox's service: convenient, instant access to personal documents wherever you go.

You must open a Dropbox account in order to store and share files. When you're ready to share something, simply click the "Share Folder" icon and enter the email address of the person to whom you wish to send information. This app provides free storage up to 2 GB. If you need more than that, consider getting a Dropbox for Business account.

Evernote

Evernote allows you to type notes, record speeches, scan documents, take photos, and organize information digitally. No more searching for lost notes or shuffling through scattered documents; all you need is a phone, tablet, or other device with the Evernote app installed on it. It's much easier than lugging around heavy texts, notebooks, and recording devices wherever you go.

Evernote is free, but if you want a larger upload limit and some other enhanced capabilities, you can pay $5 a month to upgrade to Evernote Premium. Students find this app particularly useful for managing their classwork.

Universal Password Manager

If you've ever forgotten a password, you know what a time-consuming hassle it can be to request and set up a new one. Universal Password Manager is a $1.99 app that will store all of your magical words and phrases in an encrypted database which you can access using – you guessed it – a password.

You need an iTunes account to download Universal Password Manager. There are similar services out there, like Password Genie and Dashlane. Each offers its own benefits and drawbacks, but one thing is for certain: Keeping all your information in one convenient place will save you many minutes of frustration in the long run.

Time Recording

This free Android app is especially helpful for people with mobile devices who want to log and bill their working hours. Simply "check in" when you begin working and let the app know which tasks you'll be completing, then "check out" when you're done. By feeding all your work data into one digital app, you take the onus of tracking responsibility off of yourself. You can even sync your tasks with your Google calendar, plug in your hourly rates to see how much money you're making, and monitor your work time/income over larger periods of time.

Plenty of time-tracking apps are available these days, but Time Recording is one of the most popular on the market. The free version is supported by ads, but the $2.95 version runs without them.

Remember the Milk

Do you feel stressed? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by all the things you're supposed to remember? Research suggests that chronic stress can have a detrimental effect on your ability to remember things. That's where remember the Milk, or RTM, an app for desktop, Android, and iPhone, comes in.

RTM is an online to-do list you can create and access anywhere. If you're on the road, you can read your RTM list via your phone. If you're at work, you can consult your list via your work desktop or tablet. No matter where you are, RTM is there to help you remember what needs to be remembered.

If there's one thing we could all use more of, it's time. You can't add hours to your day, but you can take steps to manage the time you have more efficiently. Use these five apps to help you take control of your life.
