There are hundreds of free apps you can use to be more effective and efficient in everything you do. These 5 apps rocked my routine and would do wonders to yours as well.

EVERNOTE

If you wish to save those ideas and thoughts before they slip off your mind or keep everything at one easy to locate place, Evernote is there for you. Evernote is a genie app that keeps all your notes, thoughts, voice memo, pictures, web links and more handy on all smart devices, anywhere, anytime. Your emails may ditch you someday but Evernote is a friend you’d adore for being everywhere.

EXPENSE MANAGER

We all want a better control over the expense to save a little more. Other than clear insights and stats of our daily expenses and income, this app’s awesome and easiest interface would make you want to do your daily entries without a second thought. Even if you forget, it would remind you at the end of the day. I personally loved the monthly limit feature which keeps a sweet check for spendthrifts like me on the loose. And lastly, it lets your accountants have some relief with the spreadsheet export and backup of months history feature. A good idea to make some more savings! Note: There are many apps by same name around. Pick the one by Markus Hintersteiner.

FLIPBOARD

No multiple logins and you will be seen everywhere. You can see everything that’s happening around you online and interact with just one login. Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, name any popular social network and you get to see all those posts and updates, news streams, friends walls, notifications while enjoying the ever wanted feel of flipping pages in a book. There is a lot more in the Flipboard to surprise you. Right from the moment you install FlipBoard, you can save as much as 3 hours a day. Try this app to believe me and see it for yourself.

COACH MEMORY! BRAIN TRAINER

A great routine needs a sharp you with a sharp mind. Wouldn’t it be great to spend just 5 minutes a day and make our gray cells sharper? There were several mind games I tested and played over months until I stopped at Coach Memory. A game with the right balance of ease & difficulties I thoroughly enjoyed! Attention, reaction speed, multitasking, task switching and problem solving skills, it has all the food your brain needs to stay fit. There would be many who would vote for Luminosity which is actually a great mind game but coach memory wins with no annoying ads and reminders to update. 5 Minutes: You would love this brief time making a difference.
