My Daily Lifesavers

The beginning of a new year is always filled with expectations: what is your resolution? What is your word of the year? What milestones are you going to reach? It can all be a bit overwhelming. 

While setting some intentions for 2016, I also took a moment to reflect on what is currently working for me, and it led a trusty list of apps and programs that help me accomplish my goals day in and day out.

Thanks to these daily lifesavers, my hectic days are much more manageable. I hope you give them one of them a try and that it makes 2016 your most productive year ever! 

1. daPulse – for staying up-to-date on projects and keeping my team members on the same page

2. Box – for keeping files safe and reachable wherever, whenever. I also love the public and password-protected link sharing options, so I can share files with people outside of our organization. (Think high resolution photos for the media, press kits and large design files too large to email.)

3. Sprout Social – for managing multiple social media accounts at once

4. VSCO cam – for editing images beautifully and on the fly

5. Zoho – for invoicing clients quickly and efficiently

6. Sleep Cycle – for making sure I get a good night’s sleep so I can get up and do it all over again the next day

BONUS: Art to Self – for daily bits of motivation that remind me no matter how much my day may seem like an impossible mountain to climb, I am wearing the right shoes and I can climb it uphill and down again. 

Do you have a program or app you cannot live without? If so, share it with me! I'm always looking for tools to improve my work flow and enhance my daily life.
