Technology should make things easier not make you work harder. But, as we all know, there are many applications and disruptive technologies that take us away from our days, rather than add value!
In this tech-driven world, here are some of the showstoppers that will help you work smarter, not harder.
The smartwatch
Smartwatches allow users to take phone calls, review emails, view and respond to text messages – all without having to pull out a phone from your pocket. Not only that, but they allow you to listen and store your favourite tunes and track your latest run via a very cool mini sim card.
Cloud-based collaboration software
From project management applications, CRM, accounting software…just about anything, cloud-based systems allow multiple users to work, collaborate, track and perform as a team from anywhere in the world.
Time tracker apps
Sick of wasting time and trying to understand how your days are getting away from you? Or are you wanting to ensure you bill your clients for the hours you spend? Perfect for freelancers, digital time trackers work on a desktop, tablet and phone and allows you to track your hours, so you never forget to bill clients again.
Virtual office assistants
Need a little hand to keep your work on track? Virtual assistants can be located anywhere in the world and manage your phone calls, emails, calendar and just about any task you require for business. Freeing your time, creating a larger business footprint at minimal costs and increasing efficiencies, this is an exceptional way to take your work to the next level.
Wireless headphones
Shut out the world, get pumped and get working. A good set of wireless headphones that offers quality sound, good battery life and are comfortable will take all outside distractions and make your more efficient, more productive and keep you on point all day!
If you’re looking to work harder and not smarter, consider adding some of the technology above and take your work to the next level!
