In our hectic times, being efficient, doing more in less time, avoiding spending time on trivial tasks is an everyday concern. Be it optimizing the way you spend your time or finding better ways to find and listen to music, it is all about one and the same thing: making your life easier and more comfortable.
And today we are going to talk about some tools that can help you along this way.
1. Spotify
It’s hard to imagine anybody who hasn’t heard about Spotify by now, but the fact that it has about 100 million active users suggests that there is a host of people who still don’t use it. And it’s a shame, because it is a real find for anybody who is interested in music.
In addition to giving you an opportunity to surf through tens of thousands of tracks, choose whatever you like and listen to it for free, it is indispensable for organizing your music collection and getting in touch with other music lovers. Find new artists based on recommendations from other users – Spotify isn’t just a streaming service; it is a giant community where you are sure to find like-minded people.
2. Postmates
Postmates, where it is available, is probably the best delivery option you will ever find. Place an order through the app, and anything within your city, from takeout food to store goods, will be delivered to your doorstep within an hour.
Day of the week, time of day and your location matter not – you still will be served quickly and efficiently. Real-time tracking is a nice touch as well – you can always track the progress of your order on a live map without having to wonder if the courier moves around at all.
3. VIDGO
VIDGO is a streaming service offering you an easy, affordable and flexible way of watching TV – whenever, and wherever you are at the moment. It provides access to all your favorite shows and movies in high definition, includes local channels and doesn’t demand that you get into technical details.
The associated app works on all conceivable devices, from normal TVs to tablets and game consoles. You don’t have to worry about catching the show you want – you may watch it either on the go or record it to a cloud-DVR to watch later at your convenience. In other words, if you like TV but don’t want to be dependent on channels’ schedules and your own timetable, VIDGO is certainly a thing to consider.
4. Canned Emails
There are types of emails that you may have to send fairly often: to reschedule an appointment, to apologize for a problem, to cancel a purchase or a service and get a refund and so on. Some people get in such situations more often than others – and they can find Canned Emails to be that much more convenient.
Simply put, Canned Emails is a service offering you a set of pre-made emails for a number of occasions like the ones mentioned above. Simply visit it, choose the type you need, and you will be automatically transported to your email client with a pre-made message you can alter to suit your purposes.
5. 1Password
It is appalling how many people still use passwords akin to “12345” or “password” today. The scale of the problem becomes evident every time a new set of several million passwords gets leaked, endangering privacy and finances of their owners.
1Password helps those incapable of remembering complicated passwords or developing algorithms for thinking up passwords for every new website or service – it keeps all your passwords safe in one place and can only be accessed with a digital key nobody but you can use. What’s more, it can manage passwords of your entire family – one of the very few password managers that do this.
Today’s life carries with it so much stress that everything that helps to relieve it even a little bit is indispensable. Everything that brings more convenience and comfort into our lives helps us fight the everyday problems all of us encounter – and the tools we mentioned here can be used in this fashion. Some help more, some less – but all of them can certainly make your life that much easier.
