But since we only have 24, the best way to free up some time is to get more done in less time. This is where mobile phones can help. There are several mobile apps that can help you maximize time, whether while commuting, prepping for a meeting or just organizing your thoughts. Let’s check them out.

1.     Email Apps

Yahoo or whatever email service you use, having the app helps you free up time. Of course, there should be an adequate work-life balance when using an email app. The point is you have access to your inbox whenever and wherever.

2.     Document Processing Apps
Everyone is going paperless, more so a document processing app (think pdf reader, Microsoft Office, Google docs, etc) helps you view an important document on the go.

Ideas come at unlikeliest of time. Maybe when you are in the car, or at a restaurant. Eureka moments can be captured with note taking apps. You can scribble crudely on them and organize later.
