The Best Apps to Keep You on Track

Remember that blissful place called “the office”? That sanctuary we commuted to for the job we got paid for and then left? Ha. Remote work brings with it new obligations and temptations: cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, home schooling, washing more dishes, pets, wine, Netflix, more wine, Instagram, beds. Which is to say that we need to be more focused and organized than we were in Before Times. Here are the best apps for staying on task:

Notion calls itself the “all-in-one workspace.” It lets you manage projects, build databases, take notes, set up mood boards, track goals and tasks, etc. (The app uses a proprietary “blocks” system, but it also integrates with Slack and Google and Microsoft programs.) It’s got a host of remote and team collaboration features and is also great for organizing recipes, reward club IDs, or travel plans for whenever we can go places again. The system requires a bit of a learning curve, so now’s a great time to experiment.
