Make the Most of Your Mobile Devices with These 5 Tips

Mobile devices like smartphones have become synonymous with productivity, allowing people to get work done while on-the-move, yet in the same breath, you could say they are synonymous with distraction. With the right practices and the right apps, however, you can mitigate these challenges and be quite productive with a smartphone. Let’s explore how.

Keep Your Digital Workspace Organized

A cluttered workspace can easily get in the way of productivity, and the same can be said for your digital workspace. It makes it difficult to focus and find what you need for the job at hand. Mobile apps can be great ways to organize files, take notes, and manage tasks, and keeping your home screen uncluttered can make all the difference in going about your day in a streamlined and efficient way.

Prioritize Productivity Apps

Mobile apps offer businesses and individuals plenty of options in terms of how to be more productive and to stay on task. Whether they are task management apps or full-fledged productivity suites, you can bet that there are apps out there to suit your needs. The right apps can help you keep your priorities straight, collaborate with others, set reminders, and track progress toward your goals.

Fully Utilize Communication Solutions

When you communicate clearly and effectively, your productivity can soar. With mobile devices, you have countless opportunities to improve communications, from email apps to instant messaging solutions. There are even full-fledged meeting apps that can help you connect with others and reduce the need for emails and instant messaging altogether.

Leverage the Cloud for Storage and Synchronization

Mobile devices utilize the cloud in a variety of ways. Cloud storage from the likes of Google Drive and OneDrive give your business the ability to access files and documents from any device at any time, as long as you have access to an Internet connection. You can also collaborate in real-time with others through the cloud, as well as guarantee that your data backup systems are in proper working order. The cloud has many practical uses to ensure that you always have access to what you need to be productive with a mobile device.

Keep Distractions to a Minimum

Finally, while mobile devices are excellent productivity tools, you need to take steps to minimize distraction while using them. You can make great strides simply by limiting non-essential notifications, turning on focus mode, or using a Do Not Disturb setting. It also helps to keep away from social media apps and mobile games, at least during periods of productivity.

Mobile devices don’t have to be a challenge to your productivity; they can enhance it, too! To learn more, contact White Mountain IT Services at 603-889-0800.
