Did you know there are many free resources that come with the same account as your Gmail? Here is an overview of a few that you can use to help organize your life.
Google Keep –An app for taking notes and making checklists. It allows you to share a list with someone else to work on it together. If you have an Android phone, you can even use the voice assistant to add things to your lists easily. For example, imagine I have a list called “Groceries.” I can then press and hold the button shown below. When the prompt appears, I can say, “add eggs to the grocery list.” When I go back later to check the list, I’ll see that they’re on the list!
Google Calendar – Keep track of birthdays, appointments, and deadlines like any calendar. However, since it’s digital, you can do things like color-code events or look through it quickly with the search bar. Try saying to the voice assistant something like, “Remind me tomorrow at 10:00 am to go to the store.” Just like that, it will add a reminder to your calendar and show you a notification tomorrow at 10:00 am!
Give these apps a try today. They are all available to download from the App Store or Play Store. If you don’t have a free Google (Gmail) account already, the app will give you a chance to make one.
